Human rights are fundamental rights that every individual is entitled to, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or social status. In the context of illegal eviction, it is important to understand that everyone has the right to adequate housing and should not be forcibly removed from their homes without due process. Police harassment violates the right to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention, and individuals have the right to be treated with dignity and respect by law enforcement officials.

Harassment, bullying, and abuse are all forms of human rights violations that can have serious impacts on an individual's physical and mental well-being. It is essential to recognize these behaviors and take action to prevent and address them. By understanding and upholding human rights principles, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Key Lesson Concepts:

• Everyone has the right to adequate housing and should not be illegally evicted from their homes.
• Police harassment violates the right to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention.
• Harassment, bullying, and abuse are human rights violations that should be prevented and addressed.

Human Rights is not well understood, and often homelessness is not linked with the Human Rights Act. It is established that, in Northern Ireland and in Scotland, basic human rights are not well understood. The right to a private life without state intervention, the right to live in peace and above all the right to a home and a clean environment in which you can live and thrive is not implemented. It is not implemented in the courts, or even by the police forces. The lack of efficient ombudsmen lives at the forefront of this, and at the time of writing, we are looking getting it changed. We are already aware that breach of Human Rights is not inherent in any Ombudsman legislation and this is essential, if an Ombudsman is to carry out his function effectively.

We also look at environmental rights and the Aarhus Convention. We look at what they are, how they are implemented, and in fact whether they are implemented and the penalties if environmental legislation is not upheld. The legislation comes under UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention)
