Letter to Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Economy and Fair Work, Kate Forbes MSP in response to written questions by Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP and to highlight key recommendations on fiscal transparency.
The Commission is monitoring the use of new technologies within operational policing and has raised concerns about the potential human rights impacts of the use of these new technologies, particularly in relation to respect for privacy and family life, due process and the right to a fair trial and protection of democratic freedoms e.g. freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association and freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Many human rights are affected by the justice system including the right to a fair trial, the right to an effective remedy, the rights of victims and witnesses in legal proceedings, access to legal advice and legal aid. Access to justice is also an important human rights issue, particularly for disabled people, victims of domestic abuse and violence, asylum seekers and people with mental health problems.
