A Retreat from Human Rights? The UK’s Dilemma with the ECHR
As one of the original drafters and adopters of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the UK has historically positioned itself as a defender of international human rights. However, recent outcry from the Conservative Party, led by Kemi Badenoch, has sparked debate over the UK’s continued commitment to the ECHR. The discussions, particularly surrounding immigration policies, have raised the prospect of a potential withdrawal. This shift could fundamentally alter Britain’s role in upholding global human rights standards, highlighting the global debate of national sovereignty versus international responsibility.
