National Assembly for Wales

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes a proposal for a Human Rights (Wales) Bill.

2. Notes that the purpose of this Bill would be to:

a) make select international human rights part of Welsh law so that they are binding on Welsh Ministers and public authorities in the exercise of devolved functions and may be enforced by a court or tribunal;

b) make it easier for people in Wales to understand and claim their rights, providing clearer routes to access justice when their rights are not upheld by public bodies; and 

c) improve monitoring and accountability, ensuring that public bodies and other institutions can be held to account when they fail to uphold these human rights.
