Title | The UK vs the ECtHR: Anatomy of a politically engineered collision course |
Authors | Donald, A. and Leach, P. |
Abstract | This article details how two Bills before the UK Parliament (the Bill of Rights Bill and the Illegal Migration Bill) serve to undermine the UK’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and explains their significance within the larger debate surrounding the UK’s possible withdrawal from the Convention. It places this debate in the context of the rarely-convened Council of Europe summit of heads of state and government in Reykjavik in May 2023, whose ambitious agenda is to protect the ‘common heritage’ of respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law in the face of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and other existential threats. |
