Human Rights Bill Governance and Engagement Executive Board
Inactive
This group is no longer active.
Overview
This group ended in December 2024. Oversight of the ongoing work to prepare for an eventual Human Rights Bill is being taken forward by the Human Rights Incorporation and Implementation Oversight Board.
The key role of the Executive Board is to be an advisory group, providing strategic support and advice to Scottish Government on major decision making during the course of development of the proposed statutory framework for human rights.
This is based on the recommendations and report (published on 12 March 2021) of the National Taskforce for Human Rights Leadership.
