“…Furthermore, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the main human rights treaty governing UK legislation until the 1998 Human Rights Act and ‘the world’s most widely used and admired international human rights treaty’ (Dickson, 2010: 368) contributed little to management or understanding of the conflict as it played out in Northern Irish society, or the various peace proposals up to the GFA of 1998. In the domestic court structure, ‘judges in Northern Ireland have been largely unsympathetic’ to claims brought which evoked the European Court of Human Rights (Weiden, 2009: 160).…”

Literature considering international human rights mechanisms stresses that they have the best chance of success when they are closest to ideas which already exist within national contexts. Research which addresses women's human rights bodies, such as the Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325), argues that they function best when reinterpreted to fit the local context. Yet, situations where this domestic norm translation is occurring, but policy change is not achieved, have received little consideration. Why do some contexts, even where norm translation occurs, resist policy change? This article examines Northern Ireland, where these women's rights bodies are used extensively in the women's sector, but where change has not occurred. It argues that norm translation is not the only important factor, and that a greater consideration of local political structures is needed in order to more fully explain policy resistance.
