Lawyers and activists to discuss rights-based policing in Dublin tonight
Reading time: 1 minute
Legal professionals and human rights activists are set to take part in a wide-reaching discussion on the future of policing hosted by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) in Dublin tonight.
“Rights-based Policing: visions for change from the community” has been organised two months ahead of the Commission on the Future of Policing (CFP)’s report.
It will hear from KOD Lyons partner Gareth Noble; artist Fiona Whelan; and solicitor and Travellers’ rights activist David Joyce.
Alyson Kilpatrick BL, former human rights advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board (2009-17), will respond to their experiences for the ICCL, having been commissioned by the civil liberties group to undertake research on a rights-based approach to policing.
The aim of the event is to tease out, in practical terms, what difference a rights-based approach to policing could make to communities that have particular experiences with An Garda Síochána.
The event is taking place in the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel on Golden Lane at 6.30pm. More information is available from EventBrite.
