Kitt hits out at human rights policy
Mr Kitt’s criticisms relate to the failure of the Government to ratify a new protocol to the UN’s International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which many EU states committed to a year ago.
The new Optional Protocol commits governments to protect and deliver on internationally agreed human rights like health and housing. It also allows individuals to complain to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights if their rights under the covenant have been violated.
