The Commission engages in social media to promote discussion and debate on human rights issues. We welcome feedback and suggestions, and endeavour to respond to messages.

We ask that the conversation on our pages is tolerant of other people’s views.

Here are the basic guidelines for our social media pages:

  • Posts and comments should be relevant to the topic under discussion.
  • Have your say, but do not spam our pages with repeats of the same information.
  • Advertising is not allowed.
  • Posts that contravene the above guidelines will be removed, and repeat offenders could be banned.
  • If you follow us on Twitter, we will not automatically follow you back. This is to discourage the use of direct messaging and spam.
