Question:

What are the Arguments in Favour for a British Bill of Rights? [BBR]

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Critics of the HRA say that Strasbourg and UK are 'Judicial Overreach' going into Areas that Politicians should Decide on -BBR help Convention Rights and how they are Applied to Britain. The Phrase 'Degrading Treatment and Punishment' in ECHR can be more Narrowly Defined -Ruling like 'Hirst vs UK' was Unpopular. UK had Violated Prisoners Rights for not allowing them to vote. BBR would restore Faith and Trust in a Less Interfering Judiciary -Strasbourg Courts and HRA harm Parliamentary Sovereignty. Article 46: UK must Implement the Judgements of the ECHR -BBR be a Balance between Rights and Responsibilities as a 21st Century World. Recognise Right to Privacy, but allows Government to Intervene in Terrorism which can Breach ECHR -Left Wing says the BBR can Reflect a more Liberal and Tolerant POV, not a Conservative -Current HRA lacks Entrenchment - making it easier Alterable and Weakened. Tory Manifesto in 2019 was to 'Update' the HRA
