Abstract

The Policing Board sits at the heart of the intersection between human rights law and politics. As a corporate body, the Policing Board has a statutory duty to monitor police compliance with the HRA. This chapter argues that regardless of the Policing Board’s statutory duty to monitor policing based on the standards of the HRA, for the political members on the Policing Board, human rights are a vessel harbouring deep sentiments and concerns at the heart of which are competing histories of the conflict, legacies of policing and understandings of Northern Ireland’s imperfect peace. These narratives swirl around, and at times directly contradict, the official police voice, further demonstrating the elasticity of human rights to stretch to fit the visions of different actors. The examination of alternative official narratives by political parties in Northern Ireland is developed across three sections, inspired by the dimensions of the ‘political life’ of human rights set out in Chapter 1. These three dimensions are: the role historical context plays in structuring the ambit and style of human rights contestation involving social actors; human rights as an articulation of a much wider array of interests, fears and aspirations that find expression through rights narratives; and how human rights can be used by groups to actively construct claims with the hope of achieving legal gains in specific fields
警务委员会
警务委员会位于人权法和政治交叉的中心。作为一个法人团体,警务委员会有法定责任监察警方遵守《人力资源条例》。本章认为,尽管警务委员会的法定职责是根据《人权法》的标准监督警务工作,但对于警务委员会的政治成员来说,人权是一个容器,其核心是冲突的相互矛盾的历史、警务的遗产和对北爱尔兰不完美和平的理解。这些叙述围绕着官方警察的声音,有时甚至直接与之相矛盾,进一步表明了人权的弹性,可以根据不同行为者的愿景加以扩展。受第一章所述人权“政治生活”维度的启发,对北爱尔兰各政党的另类官方叙述的考察分三个部分展开。这三个方面是:历史背景在构建涉及社会行动者的人权争论的范围和风格方面所起的作用;人权是通过权利叙述表达的更广泛的利益、恐惧和愿望的集合;以及群体如何利用人权积极构建诉求,以期在特定领域获得法律利益
