Human Rights Statement

At the Scottish Social Research Hub we are committed to fostering a strong human rights culture which recognises the inherent dignity of every person.

Throughout or research process we aim to incorporate key human rights documents including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Human Rights Act and the Scotland Act.

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world…
Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
