, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Equality and Human Rights in Wales: Evidence session 1

Thank you very much, and good afternoon. I was going to ask about the incorporation of UN conventions and, looking at the current political and social climate in Wales, do you believe that incorporating UN conventions still holds value?
