There will always be allegations and lies by those who wish to carry on that kind of propaganda for their own purposes. This country is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. It has also accepted the special provision in that convention whereby any private individual who feels deprived of rights recognised by that convention may, after exhausting the remedies provided by municipal law or by domestic law, appeal to the European Commission on Human Rights. In the face of this commitment—enforceable by an international tribunal—any suggestion that civil rights are being withheld from any section of the community here is completely misconceived. There is a long litany of the difference. For instance, under the law as it exists in Northern Ireland, firstly, the Minister for Home Affairs may prohibit the holding of inquests on dead bodies in any area of Northern Ireland or prohibit any particular inquest. Secondly, the civil authority is defined as the Minister for Home Affairs, who may delegate his powers even to his Parliamentary Secretary or any officer of the RUC. They are empowered to do all or any of the following things: impose curfews in any area between any hours: require licensed premises in any area to be closed; prohibit the keeping of motor cars by any person without a permit; prohibit any public meeting without any right of appeal to the courts; enter or be in access, without warning, to any land, buildings or other property whatsoever; close roads; take possession of any lands, buildings or other property or do any other act of interference with private property; order any person to furnish any information whatsoever; arrest persons without warrant and detain them indefinitely without trial without any prior proclamation by the Government and without any provision for an inquiry into detention by a commission as is provided in the Offences Against the State Act. In addition, a person who does any act of such a nature as to be calculated to be prejudicial to the preservation of peace or maintenance of order in Northern Ireland and not specifically provided for is deemed to be guilty of an offence. Finally, the Minister for Home Affairs there may add or vary new criminal offences without the positive approval of Parliament. In view of that litany let those who want to denigrate the position here compare it with the position there. There is no question of rights being denied here.
