Centre's Report for the Scottish Human Rights Commission on HRIA Now Published
In April 2010, Dr James Harrison, Mary Ann-Stephenson (External Member of the Centre) and Andrew Williams were commissioned by the Scottish Human Rights Commission to review all the practice of conducting human rights impact assessments in the UK and internationally and to produce guiding principles for conducting future human rights impact assessments.
Their final report includes an eight-step process that can be utilised in any HIA process and detailed recommendations for how those eight steps should be implemented. The report also includes illustrations of how this HRIA process will function.
The report can be accessed here.
