The Government has noted the content and recommendations contained in the 2016 Amnesty International report.

The Government has no plans to provide a formal response. However, the National Contact Point (NCP) has discussed the report with Amnesty International and where appropriate, the report’s conclusions will be considered as part of the normal process for improving the operations of the NCP and the Steering Board.
