Throw out the Bill of Rights 2022

Petition Details

The Bill of Rights 2022 removes the universality of human rights and limits the power of the courts to enforce them. Therefore it is incompatible with the principles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and could be seen as breaking international law. This bill has no place in modern law.

Additional Information

The Bill of Rights threatens the current rights given by the Human Rights Act 1988 by limiting the powers of courts to enforce them if legislation is incompatible human rights, limiting the ability to refer to previous case law and ECHR rulings, and limiting rights in certain situations. The Joint Committee on Human Rights state in a report that "the options the Government has put forward for reform, which include repeal, would substantially weaken the protection of human rights in the UK".
