12 October 2010

The Office of the First and deputy First Minister (OFMdFM) has issued its Programme for Cohesion, Sharing and Integration (CSI) for public consultation. It contains the devolved government’s plans to tackle sectarianism, broader racism and promote cohesion, sharing and integration for all sectors of society.

In this lunchtime briefing at 12 noon on 21 October 2010, the Human Rights Commission will explain its response to the consultation, which is likely to focus on:

• the scope of the programme including gender, sexual orientation, and discrimination
• the international human rights standards and duties that should underpin the programme
• the focus on individual behaviour rather than, for example, institutional inequality
• the underpinning concepts (good relations integration etc), and
• the mechanisms proposed to implement the programme.

If you would like to attend, please contact Charlene Craig before Monday 18 October at events@nihrc.org or call 028 9024 3987.
