From migration to tackling online violence against women and girls, all these issues require a united European response. Through multilateralism and instruments such as the ECHR and the Istanbul Convention, we can deliver concrete outcomes for the democratic security of our continent.

The upcoming Council of Europe Ministerial Meeting in Chișinău is crucial, and Ireland, as a founding member, plays a key role. Thank you for a very engaging discussion, Minister @OCallaghanJim.

"At the launch, the Chief Commissioner of IHREC Liam Herrick outlined how the rights of trans and non-binary people are protected under national and European law.
He said that while EU law provided strong protections for transgender rights, gaps remain in Ireland's laws."

Glad to be able to spend International Human Rights Day in the company of #Fiosrú colleagues including Police Ombudsman Emily Logan and Deputy Ombudsman Brian Docherty. An occasion to reflect on the need for fundamental #ECHR human rights to underpin all criminal justice practice
