Human Rights Bill consultation - questions and answers: easy read version

Duties

This part is about the duties.

Duties mean who needs to do what, to make sure that these new human rights happen.

What people told us about the duties

Lots of people said they liked:

• the plan about duties
• having a few steps to put human rights into place over time
• the Minimum Core Obligations

Many people asked for clearer information about:

• who has these duties
• what organisations need to do
• the details of the plan

Many people want to see stronger duties on the rights in CRPD.

This would help people get justice when their rights have not been met.
