Guarantee the UK remains a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights.
We demand that Johnson’s government guarantees the UK will remain a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights post-Brexit, thereby ensuring the rights of UK citizens and residents continue to be protected by international law.
The Prime Minister has refused to formally commit to applying the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This raises grave concerns for the future safety and protections of the fundamental rights of all people living in a post-Brexit UK.
Johnson’s government claims our basic rights will be protected, but they have repeatedly shown they cannot be trusted. The Convention affords us an independent authority to petition if our government seeks to violate our rights and freedoms.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300602.
