Refugee Ban Bill Pt. 1

Wednesday, May 24, 2023 • Duration 29:50

This is the first episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team. This episode looks at the [Illegal] Migration bill as it's being discussed in the House of Lords at the committee stage today, with our guest speakers Andy Sirel, Legal Director at JustRight Scotland and Graham O’Neill, Policy Manager at the Scottish Refugee Council. We are focusing on this topic as part of our Scottish campaign which aims to stop the #RefugeeBanBill and get other organisations involved in this call to reject the Bill and focus instead on how we can build a better future for welcoming refugees in Scotland.

Friday, September 22, 2023 • Duration 27:27

Scotland’s Human Rights Bill: an opportunity to strengthen human rights and access to justice

This is the first episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast season 2 - created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team.

This episode looks at the proposal of a Human Rights Bill for Scotland - as it's being consulted on - with our guest speaker Barbara Bolton, Legal Director & Partner at JustRight Scotland.

We are focusing on this topic as part of our national campaign, which aims to raise awareness about #AllOurRights in Scotland and why access to justice must be a fundamental aspect of this new Bill. We also provide other organisations involved in this consultation process with information and detailed analysis about the proposals and on how this represents an opportunity to build a better future for all in Scotland, together.

Scottish Human Rights Bill Pt. 2 Ft.Barbara Bolton

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, September 29, 2023 • Duration 38:36

This is part 2 of our Scotland’s Human Rights Bill episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team. This episode continues to look at the Scottish Government’s consultation proposals for a Human Rights Bill published on 15th June which will close on 5 October 2023. We are focusing on this topic as part of our Scottish campaign which aims to call for the right to an effective remedy – one that is accessible, affordable, timely and effective – to be included in the Bill as a substantive right, with a duty to comply.

That was omitted from the Consultation proposals. Inclusion of this right in the framework Human Rights Bill will ensure it is part of national law and can be used to drive positive change, in the same way as the other substantive rights.

We analyse the accessibility level of this consultation, how our JustCitizens members have reacted to these proposals and what's missing.
