• Staff have significant human rights
and legal expertise to bring to the
coalition.
• Amnesty International (AI) has a
global mandate to work on
Economic, Social & Cultural (ESC)
rights, including domestically.
• Resources allocated to a body of
work on ESC rights, including staff
and limited activity budget.
• AI is able to dedicate staff & limited
resources to build strategic
relationships with a view to
advancing the Initiative’s goal.
• Human rights law & AI policy can be
limited, resulting in limitations on
what AI can say from a public
campaigning perspective.
• Amnesty International does not work
directly with rights holders, in the
domestic sphere, which can very
often be critical to developing an
effective, informed campaign.
• Although resources have been
allocated in the short term, the level
of work that can be committed into
the long term is limited.
• The wealth of expertise of partner
organisations balances with the
limitations on AI Ireland.
• Working together provides for
significant learning through
information sharing & engagement.
• The number and variety of voices in
the coalition strengthens the impact
of activities.
• The Constitutional Convention has
provided a hook for campaigning on
an issue that is difficult to make
tangible.
• There are a variety of organisations in
the Initiative, few with an explicit
commitment to human rights, and all
carrying significant existing programmes
of work.
• The ESC Rights Initiative can be seen
as an ‘add on’ to existing work, as a
result capacity can be limited.
• There are no pooled or common
resources, all resources sit within each
member organisation.
• We are operating in competitive
environments. Issues are competing
against each other for spaces in which
to be heard. With diminishing resources
it is difficult to stay relevant.
