Sinn Féin welcomes key recommendations of the Bill of Right's Forum report

Gerry Kelly has welcomed key recommendations of the Bill of Right's Forum report that was released this week and said he was disappointed that 10 Commissioners had dissented from the report and that the DUP and UUP were continuing to oppose a Bill of Rights.
"The Bill of Rights is a fundamental part of the Good Friday Agreement and I believe it represents an incredible opportunity to make a real and positive difference to the lives of all our people and I welcome the handover of the Human Rights Commission advice as the next stage in this long process," the North Belfast Sinn Fein MLA said.
"But to those members of the DUP and UUP who continue to oppose a Bill of Rights, I would ask them to explain to their electorate, why they reject key rights for the people that they represent.
“If implemented, a Bill of Rights would compel government to take whatever possible steps it can in order to address the economic and social problems which face our people. "This isn't about Republican rights, nationalist rights, unionist or loyalist rights - it is about rights for all."
