Abstract
The Working Group was tasked with identifying the challenges involved in the facilitation and regulation of processions, including those relating to the notification process, in Scotland. A human rights-based approach has been central to our work in seeking to identify processes capable of achieving an appropriate balance between the rights of organisers/participants and the rights of nonparticipants and communities impacted by these events. In considering how these challenges could be addressed, and the practical implications of making any changes, we were specifically asked to look at how the NI Parades Commission works and whether there was any learning that could be extracted from this model and adapted for Scotland. This report uses the comparison between Northern Ireland and Scotland as a basis to discuss how well the legislative framework and related processes are working in Scotland.
