Back to EpisodesIreland's Supreme Court Debates Human Dignity as Legal Right
Description
Irelands Supreme Court deliberates on human dignity as a standalone legal right, following a case brought by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission on behalf of 2,807 asylum seekers. The governments response to a housing shortage, including cash payments and temporary tents, is challenged as a breach of EU and international human rights laws. Previous rulings have yielded mixed outcomes, with the High Court finding the state failed in its duties, but the Court of Appeal overturning it. The Supreme Court now considers whether dignity can serve as a foundation for these claims.
