How do we protect the future of Europe’s human rights system? By being legal, factual, firm, and transparent. In my video address to the Steering Committee for Human Rights (CDDH) today, I called for an evidence-based approach that upholds the universality of rights and the independence of the European Court of #HumanRights. We must move beyond political considerations and confusion and return to principled legal analysis. #ECHR @coe 👇

Exchange on wide ranging topics with Volker Türk. We covered the situation of human rights in Europe, including the need to embed human rights in peace processes for Ukraine and for continued support to the European Convention on Human Rights. Protecting the Convention system is more vital than ever.

- Freedom of expression
- Freedom of assembly and association
- Right to marry and found a family
- Right to an effective remedy before a national authority
- Prohibition of discrimination in the enjoyment of Convention rights
You don't get to pick and choose rights. Assume they want to get rid of them all. #ukPol #reform #echr 2/2
Reform want the UK to exit the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) . It guarantees the following fundamental rights and freedoms:
- Right to life
- Prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
- Prohibition of slavery and forced labour
- Right to liberty and security
- Right to a fair trial
- No punishment without law
- Right to respect for private and family life
- Freedom of thought, conscience and religion
The bizarre idea that the LCP under Kier Starmer belongs alongside AfD & PVV probably originates with Twitter.
The actual enemies of the #ECHR in the U.K. are on the opposite benches, & have quite openly come out against it, in speeches, telly interviews, & articles they have written for newspapers.
They are CUP and RUKL people like Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick, Rupert Lowe, & Jacob Rees-Mogg.

As we watch the horrors of the fascist coup on the US (see Carol Cadwalladr's blog https://broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-us-coup-one-year-on )
Here in the UK we are fighting to keep #democracy alive, and it's running on a shaky life support system right now:
#Starmer imprisons grannies holding card signs
#Farage (friend of #Epstein & #Trump ) wants to end the #NHS and #ECHR
Remember Nemik's manifesto, we must all keep fighting, and doing everything we can.
Every action holds weight.
We are the many, they are the few.
European Convention on #HumanRights (#ECHR) Art. 3 prohibits deporting individuals to places where they would be at risk of torture or degrading treatment. Art. 8 protects the right to private and family life. Some EU Member States would like to change this. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_BRI(2026)782643
ECHR Blog har börjat sammanställa olika resurser som handlar om olika europeiska regeringsföreträdares krav om att EDMR ska förändra sitt sätt att tolka konventionen.

Leaving the ECHR was not on the Brexit ballot 10 years ago.
Constructive meeting with United Kingdom Attorney General Lord Hermer and Advocate General of Scotland Baroness Smith on the European Convention on Human Rights, rule of law, and the protection of human rights.
David Cameron’s speech
October 2014
In his speech to the Tory party conference today, the prime minister David Cameron pledged to get rid of the Human Rights Act #HRA and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. Problem? Where is it? A bit like Lewis Carroll’s snark, it is often spoken of but never actually seen. It has been talked about off and on for around 7 years now but it still hasn’t seen the light of day.

Second problem: how will it be any different to the HRA it will replace? It will presumably contain many of the clauses about fair trials, no torture, knowing what one is accused of, no slavery, arbitrary arrest etc. etc. that are contained in the HRA.
It is likely that the ire is directed at some individual cases which get the tabloid press in a stew such as Abu Qatada. The issue here of course was that he could not be deported because it was likely that either, he would be tortured or, evidence gained by torture would be used against him.
The problem is the same as it always has been with the act. It is European and in the fevered atmosphere of anti-Europeanism stoked up by Ukip, anything from Europe is a bad thing. The second problem is the media – or sections of it – who dislike the act and print all manner of misinformation and disinformation about its rulings. They don’t like it because the question of privacy has a higher standing under the act than they would like. As we have seen with News International – and are beginning to see with the Mirror Group newspapers – newspapers are sold by penetrating the private lives of the famous by a variety of dubious and illegal means.
The benefits of the act, such as that reported today of people in Essex who were able to use it to take action against the police, are seldom reported.
Unless we pull out of the Council of Europe, we will still be subject to the rulings of the European Court. It is strange to report that with all the venom and anger directed against Strasbourg nearly 99% of cases applications against the UK are struck out. That is because we have good legal systems here. The HRA was brought in to stop the trail of people having to go to Europe to get justice.

I just read a U.S.A. person in another timeline telling the world that 'all freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK' is being banned, because a porn company dislikes the restrictions on porn.
I really wanted to tell the po-faced idiot that the restrictions on porn match what we've had in newsagents and sex shops for decades; whereas the people who *actually* want our freedoms are the parties with the strong ties to the Trumpanzees, openly going after the #ECHR.
Guilty until proven Innocent, its the Mahmoud way
The Met’s approach to live facial recognition is being challenged in the Hight Court this week
When speaking about getting rid of the #ECHR #SuellaBraverman, said, "I am calling time on Tory betrayal. I am calling time on Tory lies. I am calling time on a party that keeps making promises but has zero intention of keeping them."
I am calling time on your career, hun xx
Braverman bizarrely claims that British soldiers being brought to court because of perceived illegal acts during 'The Troubles' happened because of the #ECHR
"The ECHR is a system where the human rights of terrorists have become more important than your human rights. It's a system of law which has been weaponised by our enemies against our brave," she says to a crowd of ex-servicemen
Braverman is a lady who likes to put KC after her name
I have missed how mad she is 😅🤣😂
