On 12th and 13th of February 2024, ICRIR representatives, including the Chief Commissioner Sir Declan Morgan, visited Strasbourg, France. During their visit, they engaged with a number of key stakeholders and representatives to the Council of Europe to reaffirm the Commission's commitment to compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights and update them on the Commission's progress to date. This document is the slide-pack used during the visit.
The External Assurance Group has been established by the ICRIR Board to advise the Commissioner for Investigations (and the wider Commission) on operating policies and practices. These are its terms of reference.
This policy ensures that employees of the Independent Commission for Information and Reconciliation Recovery (ICRIR) have a clear understanding of what might constitute a relevant outside interest and that the Commission takes a consistent approach to the management of outside interests.
ICRIR's values of integrity and impartiality include ensuring that no gift, hospitality or other benefit is accepted which could be perceived to undermine or call into question the proper conduct of its staff or Commissioners. This policy outlines the process to be followed in the event of the offering of a gift or hospitality to any Commissioner, officer or member of staff of ICRIR.
This document outlines how the Commission’s independence from Government will be maintained. This document was updated in February 2024 to reflect a minor change to paragraph 28.2 relating to staff pensions.
This code helps everyone in the Commission to carry out their work in accordance with clear values. It sets out the values we will hold ourselves accountable for and how every member of the Commission’s staff will uphold them in their work.
