Submission by the Equality Coalition to the Committee for the Assembly and Executive Review Committee’s inquiry into Assembly and Executive Reform
Resources: Submissions and briefings
The Equality Coalition has responded to the Assembly and Executive Review Committee’s (AERC) Review into Assembly and Executive Reform.
Our submission includes several key asks:
- The AERC should advocate for the repeal of the St Andrews veto and its replacement with the NI Bill of Rights.
- The Petition of Concern should be further reformed to introduce the adjudicatory role of the Human Rights Commission, supported by a majority of parties in the New Decade New Approach agreement, along with a binding safeguard to prevent misuse of the Executive agenda veto.
