A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT “Diversity is a source of richness and from genuine engagement with diverse voices innovative and original thinking can emerge. For this to happen we must go beyond simply tolerating, acknowledging or accepting diversity, of course, and work for the kind of society where each citizen realises their unique potential and contributes meaningfully to society. Racism can express itself openly in verbal assaults and in racist attacks of course but also through the policies and services of our institutions when they fail to accommodate and respond appropriately to the needs of a particular section of a population. This is why the work of all those who combat racism is so important: it seeks to embed respect for the value of each individual at the heart of our interactions, at the heart of our society. We must all work together to create an Ireland in which diversity is genuinely celebrated and difference is not just tolerated but welcomed as the foundation of a just society, rich in creative potential.” Michael D.

It is a useful and timely supplement to ENAR Ireland’s widely and rightly acknowledged iReport.ie process and gives further focused information on seeking to begin the process of redress. The experience and effects of racism are many-sided and difficult. Reporting such discrimination and trauma is difficult in itself and needs not to be made more so by further difficulties in the reporting process. The complexities, pitfalls and possibilities of this process are clearly laid out here on a step by step basis which can help prospective users see a roadmap through what might otherwise remain an impenetrable maze. I thank ENAR Ireland for undertaking this work and commend all involved for their efforts. By signing, ratifying and reporting under the International Convention for the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) Ireland has agreed that racism on purpose and/or in effect needs to be eliminated and that its elimination and the promotion of a racism free Ireland is a key responsibility of the Irish State in fulfilment of its international human rights responsibilities. Ireland’s obligations under the EU Equality Directives and Decisions, also Council of Europe Conventions, as well as our own laws provide further essential basis for protection against this insidious institutional and interpersonal discrimination. As Chairperson and a member of the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination responsible for monitoring global implementation of the ICERD, I was very conscious of the need for good data in support of that struggle. For issues to be addressed, their extent and nature as well as who is experiencing them needs to be known. Racism is intersectional e.g. women and men experience it differently and these intersectionalities need to be made visible. Reporting racism has

  • 1 Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland Presents Itself As Somewhat of a Peculiar
    Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland presents itself as somewhat of a peculiarity when looking at forms of Xenophobia and Radicalism. As this report will discuss, Ireland’s above average support for migrants and lack of an organised or successful radical right political scene marks it out as an anomalous case of moderation tolerance within Western Europe. Moreover, elite discourse towards minorities and migrants tended to be positive on the whole in the period under study (2017). This is not to say, however, that Ireland has not had it struggled with exclusionary practices. As this report highlights, hate crime is still not a specifically enforceable criminal offence and third-party recorded statistics mask the underreporting of these incidences. Moreover, minority representation among law enforcement agencies is remarkably low. This report will therefore look into the period under study and suggest how far Ireland is an anomalous case - focusing on changes in legislation, the current state of law enforcement practices, rhetoric of government officials, popular attitudes towards migrants (in sport and society) as well as the profile of radical right parties. What will be found is positive adherence to moderation, tolerance and human rights norms on the whole – with some room for improvement in key areas of legislation, law enforcement and underlying popular prejudice against minorities. 1. Changes in Legalisation Protection of freedom of religion and religious expression is enshrined in Ireland’s 1937 Constitution. According to Article 44 of the Constitution of Republic of Ireland, the state shall not patronise any religion, there shall be no discrimination based on religious affiliation, faith or position (including discrimination of schools).

CONSTITUTIONALIZING FETAL RIGHTS: A SALUTARY TALE FROM IRELAND iona de ondras In 1983, Ireland became the first country in the world to con- stitutionalize fetal rights. The 8th Amendment to the Constitution, passed by a referendum of the People, resulted in constitutional pro- tection for “the right to life of the unborn,” which was deemed “equal” to the right to life of the “mother.” Since then, enshrining fetal rights in constitutions and in legislation has emerged as a key part of anti-abortion campaigning. This Article traces the constitu- tionalization of fetal rights in Ireland and its implications for law, politics, and women.

Hartley, “The Go-Between” 7 Republic of Ireland Foreword In the not-so-distant past of the 1980s, Ireland was indeed a very different country from the one we know now, and we did things very differently there. The nation was facing many challenges, both economic and social. Economic recession and high levels of unemployment led to mass emigration. Ireland remained a conservative society where human rights for many were constrained, and services for the young and old were limited, at best. Perhaps unsurprisingly in this environment, education suffered from a serious lack of investment, and, in particular, higher education was in the doldrums.

    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 34, Issue 1 2010 Article 3 TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL PHILIP D. REED MEMORIAL ISSUE Casting a Cold Eye on the Origins and Development of an All-Island Charter of Rights Suzanne Egan∗ Rachel Murrayy ∗ y Copyright c 2010 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Casting a Cold Eye on the Origins and Development of an All-Island Charter of Rights Suzanne Egan and Rachel Murray Abstract One of the most striking outcomes of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement (”Agreement”) was the extent to which the establishment of human rights institutions and mechanisms was brought center-stage into the shaping of the political settlement. The dynamic talks process that led to the signing of the Agreement resulted in an extensive range of obligations in regard to human rights on the part of the Irish and British governments, many of which were implemented very soon afterwards. Paragraph 10 of the “Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity” section of the Agreement makes mention of a trans-jurisdictional human rights initiative that would mimic the institutional arrangements provided for elsewhere in the Agreement. Specifically, it vests jurisdiction in a Joint Committee of the two Human Rights Commissions to ”consider, among other matters, the possibility of establishing [an all-island] charter [of Rights], open to signature by all democratic political parties, reflecting and endorsing agreed measures for the protection of the fundamental rights of everyone living in the island of Ireland. But, despite the implications of such a potentially transformative constitutional proposal, to date, the Charter has been the subject of negligible political engagement in both jurisdictions.
