Report: The UK’s Implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
Community Policy Forum submitted a report to the UN Human Rights Committee on the UK’s compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its other international human rights obligations.
The report outlines various ways that the UK is failing to uphold the rights of Muslim communities and urges the UN to ask serious questions to the UK Government in relation to ten broad areas:
- Migration.
- Islamophobia.
- Securitisation.
- Policing and the justice system.
- Freedom of expression, political participation, and the right to assembly.
- Hindutva.
- Violence against women and girls.
- Charities.
- Muslim children.
- Media.

We will also be contacting MPs in the coming weeks to discuss various human rights violations outlined in the report.
Find your MP here and send them the document telling them to hold the UK Government to account by asking the questions proposed by the report.
