Bill of Rights Impact
- The UK's Human Rights Act requires judges to consider Strasbourg Court decisions, but the proposed Bill of Rights aims to change that.
- This raises concerns about the UK's compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights, despite remaining a member of the Council of Europe.
Rwanda Asylum Case
- When the UK wanted to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, the European Court of Human Rights issued interim measures to block the flights.
- The Bill of Rights aims to disregard such interim measures, potentially causing conflict with the Convention.
Binding Interim Measures
- Interim measures issued by the European Court of Human Rights are binding on member states.
- Clause 24 of the Bill of Rights, which aims to disregard these measures, is problematic and could lead to breaches of the Convention.
