Amnesty International and human rights education

Human Rights Education is becoming an essential ingredient to all societies in the world in order to encourage respect and tolerance to those around us and build good citizens for the future. In both the North and South of Ireland human rights is seen as a vehicle through which positive change could occur. Under the terms of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement 1998, a priority was given to the creation of a ‘human rights culture’. As a result of the Agreement Human Rights Commissions were established in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland. In the terms of both Human Rights Commissions, Human Rights Education was given a central role. The Good Friday Agreement also made provision for a number of cross-border bodies, one of which focused on education. Both States had made binding international commitments to develop programmes in Human Rights Education. In particular, Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires both states to ensure that children are enabled to develop a respect for their own cultural identity, language and values and for the culture, language and values of others.
