21 October 2015

Philippe Sands

This portrayal has underpinned a growing movement that seeks the repeal of the act and 鈥 let us not run from the reality 鈥 a desire by some to reappraise the UK鈥檚 relationship with the European court of human rights. 鈥

The Tories鈥 plans to repeal this fundamental act will have profound consequences for the future of human rights in the UK, and Britain鈥檚 engagement with Europe, writes Professor Philippe Sands QC for 鈥楥omment is free鈥 in 迟丑别听Guardian.
