Irish Minister Simon Coveney Addresses Question on Ireland’s Role Addressing Human Rights Issues in Bahrain During the Human Rights Council
On 5 November 2019, Seán Crowe T.D. asked Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney if Ireland will take a leadership role against the human rights violations in Bahrain in the United Nations Human Rights Council, particularly since Minister Coveney has previously noted human rights in Bahrain is a priority for Ireland. Mr. Crowe also inquired as to whether the Foreign Minister would work to ensure a joint statement on the human rights situation in Bahrain is tabled at the next meeting of the council in March 2020. This question was a result of ADHRB’s international advocacy efforts.
