1. This proposal seeks funding to enable the research project to take a unique opportunity with the potential for major international impact, to assist international partner organisations (in particular the United Nations and the global organisation for parliaments, the Inter-Parliamentary Union) in the finalisation of the text of a set of Principles on Parliaments and Human Rights and to take the final steps towards their adoption by the UN Human Rights Council in June and, possibly, the UN General Assembly in September. The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law, where the PI (Murray Hunt) is Director, will act as the host institution for the duration of the proposed next phase (May to October 2018). 2. Following a resolution of the UN Human Rights Council in June 2017, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights ("UNOHCHR"), working with the Inter-Parliamentary Union ("IPU"), has drafted a set of Principles on Parliaments and Human Rights. The draft Principles will be the subject of a validation exercise in June 2018 in Geneva, involving parliamentarians from a number of countries, and will be included in a Report to the UN Human Rights Council to be considered during its 38th session in Geneva in June. If adopted by the UN Human Rights Council, there is the further possibility that the Principles might be considered by the UN General Assembly during its meeting in New York in September 2018, which would greatly enhance their normative status as a set of global principles for parliaments worldwide. 3. The adoption of a set of internationally agreed Principles and Guidelines on the role of parliaments in relation to human rights and the Rule of Law has been one of the principal impact objectives of the project since 2012. The PI has been consulted by UNOHCHR on the draft Principles and invited to take part in the validation exercise in Geneva. The purpose of the funding sought in this proposal is to enable the project's research team to play a full part in what it is hoped will be the final stages in the adoption of the Principles as an internationally agreed set of norms. 4. Three previous phases of the project have been generously funded by the AHRC, without which the project could not have achieved such a level of influence, and the potential to have such a major impact internationally.

1. 本提案寻求资金，使研究项目能够抓住具有重大国际影响潜力的独特机会，协助国际伙伴组织（特别是联合国和全球议会组织、各国议会联盟）敲定一套关于议会与人权的原则文本，并为 6 月联合国人权理事会以及 9 月联合国大会通过这些原则采取最后步骤。首席研究员 (Murray Hunt) 担任主任的宾厄姆法治中心将在拟议的下一阶段（2018 年 5 月至 10 月）期间充当主办机构。 2. 根据联合国人权理事会 2017 年 6 月通过的决议，联合国人权事务高级专员办事处（“人权高专办”）与各国议会联盟（“议会联盟”）合作，起草了一套原则关于议会和人权。该原则草案将于 2018 年 6 月在日内瓦进行验证工作，涉及多个国家的议员，并将纳入提交联合国人权理事会的报告，供 6 月在日内瓦举行的第 38 届会议审议。如果联合国人权理事会通过，这些原则还有可能在 2018 年 9 月于纽约举行的联合国大会上得到审议，这将大大提高其作为议会全球原则的规范地位全世界。 3. 自 2012 年以来，该项目的主要影响目标之一是通过一套国际商定的关于议会在人权和法治方面的作用的原则和准则。原则草案并受邀参加在日内瓦举行的审定工作。本提案寻求资金的目的是使该项目的研究团队能够在希望将这些原则采纳为一套国际商定的规范的最后阶段中充分发挥作用。 4. 该项目的前三个阶段得到了澳大利亚人权委员会的慷慨资助，没有这些资助，该项目不可能取得如此大的影响力，也不可能在国际上产生如此重大的影响。自 2010 年以来该项目活动的完整摘要可在线查看：https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/research-and-subject-groups/parliaments-rule-law-and- human-rights-project
