Human Rights & International Law

Additional Information

The current Attorney General needs to urgently make a statement to the people of the UK to explain why no UK Government since 1948 has seen fit to implement the International Bill of Human Rights it has agreed to as a founding Member State of the United Nations.

That Bill began with the Universal Declaration in Dec 1948, yet Parliament still wants to debate a Bill of Rights for us. Why? Especially given the terms in the Declaration and obligations in the UN Charter to comply with its Resolutions and Treaties.

He also needs to confirm that under The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), no UK laws which have failed to 'give effect' to those rights are, or have been, legally valid since that became effective.
