The proposed #UKGov #PIP Law actually appears to be unlawful!
‘The legal opinion says: “there can be no doubt that the reforms are regressive in #HumanRights terms. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of non-retrogression, they are presumed to be prohibited under #UNCRPD, #ICESCR and #UNCRC. Accordingly, the burden falls on the Government to show that despite the regressive nature of the reforms, they are complying with their obligations under the Treaties.”’

>> I’ll never vote Blue or Red or for any candidate until they advocate publicly that we #RatifyICESCR. International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (#ICESCR)
You might never get a chance to vote again, and you can happily take your single issue to your grave because #Trump is certainly not going to ratify that covenant.
Also, if your apathy re-elects Trump, you’d be personally responsible for any Trump-encouraged pogroms against #Muslims

Australia is the only Western democracy that does not have a national Human Rights Act, but this may be about to change.
"It’s more than 40 years since Australia ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)...Incorporating these treaties into a Federal Human Rights Act would bring us into line with all other western democracies who have implemented agreed global norms."

R to @hk_watch: ➡️ #HKSAR is continuing the #CCP’s narrative of dismissing #politicalrights by implying that they are illegitimate ➡️ #HK has obligations to protect the rights in the #ICESCR and #ICCPR as it is a party https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1626260019090972674#m
