My Department are represented on an inter-departmental committee, chaired from the Office of the Attorney General, which has had under examination United Nations instruments relating to human rights. This committee have reported that legislation will be necessary to implement Article 20 of the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which requires that incitement to national, racial or religious hatred should be prohibited. I hope to be in a position to introduce my legislative proposals on this subject at an early date.
