Last week, for the first time in its 14-year history, the United Nations’ Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing (OEWG) adopted a substantive decision on the human rights of older persons.The decision addresses gaps in the international human rights system and presents a number of options for closing them, including a new UN convention on the rights of older persons. A lot of work is still needed for us to secure a UN convention but this decision paves a positive way forward. #humanrights #rightsofolderpeople https://lnkd.in/gfxCs5BP

Public Law & Social Housing barrister at Cornerstone Barristers, and member of the Social Housing Law Association Committee.
I have just come across this guide published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission on 12 September 2024 - "How to consider equality in policy making: A 10-step guide for public bodies in England" (there are separate guides for Wales and Scotland, the links to which are in the guide which itself can be accessed by the link below). The Guide is for "public authorities and organisations delivering a public function" and says it "provides information about how to consider the equality impact of policies in a structured, consistent and accountable way. This will help you to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty". Needless to say, for those public authorities or bodies exercising a public function who are developing or revising their policies this guide is an important read. https://lnkd.in/eJdiTf3S

BCAS Coalition Files Complaint Against The Canadian Human Rights Commission: Demands Accountability In an unprecedented move to address systemic discrimination within the Federal Public Service of Canada, a coalition of leading organizations announced today a formal complaint against the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). This coalition includes the Black Class Action Secretariat (BCAS the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), the Canadian Black Nurses Alliance (CBNA), The Enchanté Network / Le réseau Enchanté, Red Coalition Inc., Federation of Black Canadians, 613-819 Black Hub and the Black Canadians Civil Society Coalition (BCCSC), united in their efforts to hold the CHRC accountable for its discriminatory practices. The organizations have filed for a special review of the CHRC’s accreditation status with the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), underlining the urgent need for reform to ensure the CHRC can effectively protect individuals from discrimination. The coalition jointly calls on the Government of Canada to take significant steps toward rectifying systemic discrimination within its structures: 1. Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to create a direct access model, allowing complaints to go directly to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and repurposing the Canadian Human Rights Commission to support complainants with their matters at the Tribunal. 2. Amend the Employment Equity Act to better reflect intersectionality and to specifically include Black and other equity-deserving groups as designated groups. 3. Appoint a Black Equity Commissioner as an independent officer of Parliament to oversee and ensure equity across all levels of government and public service. 4. Ensure Accountability: Following the findings of discrimination at the Canadian Human Rights Commission by both the Senate Human Rights Committee and the Treasury Board Secretariat, it is imperative that those who committed discrimination be held accountable. This includes a thorough leadership review and necessary changes to prevent future occurrences. Watch the full press conference here. https://lnkd.in/eB7waH3A
