WELCOME Welcome to this site devoted to the Bill of Rights in Northern Ireland (BORINI). In this site, hosted by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, you will find a wide range of material produced by the Commission and other organisations on the proposed Bill including two consultation documents and the range of responses made by hundreds of individuals and organisations across Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission is required by statute to advise the UK government on the scope for defining a Bill of Rights supplementary to those in the European Convention on Human Rights.   The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement 1998 states that the Bill should reflect the particular circumstances of Northern Ireland, drawing as appropriate on international instruments and experience. The establishment of the Bill of Rights Forum by government was a very welcome development and the Human Rights Commission has benefited from receiving its views (presented on 31 March 2008) on the contents of a proposed Bill which will inform its guidance to the UK government and Parliament.  More information on the Bill of Rights project can be found on the Commission's website.  Hopefully you will find this resource of interest as we attempt to bring together and diseminate the wide range of material that has been developed on this important work   Watch this space for future developments and remember to please give us your feedback.  We would love to hear your views on how we can improve this website.
