Our Chairwoman, Baroness Kishwer Falkner, has written an opinion piece discussing the potential for our human rights protections to be weakened by legislation currently going through the UK Parliament.
The column welcomes the UK Government’s decision not to proceed with the Bill of Rights Bill. It also highlights the potential risks to Britain's human rights framework posed by new thresholds for ‘serious disruption’ during peaceful protests, the Illegal Migration Bill passed earlier this week and the Victims and Prisoners Bill currently being scrutinised by MPs.
