Universal
Periodic Review
In
October of this year, Ireland will be examined by other UN countries on
our human rights record, otherwise known as the Universal Periodic
Review (UPR). This is the first time that this will happen.
In anticipation of this review, Adoption Rights Alliance has made
submissions to both the Irish Human Rights Commission and the Irish
Council of Civil Liberties' "Rights Now" campaign. On
Monday 21st March 2011 we submitted our main report directly to the United Nations.

Adoption
Legislation Submissions
Despite extensive lobbying and valiant efforts by then opposition TDs,
the 2010 Adoption Bill passed without a single provision for Irish
adopted people who have been subjected to a closed secret adoption
system since 1952.
We urge everyone affected by adoption in Ireland, along with
family and friends, to demand an end to Ireland's closed secret adoption
system, by contacting their local TD's. Contact details are
available here.
