If approved by parliament where it faces a fight, the law will raise the bar for bringing human rights legal claims. This would reduce the ability of foreign nationals convicted of a crime in the UK to challenge deportation on the basis of their human rights.
The government says the goal is to reduce “frivolous” and “frivolous” claims.
The law will also give the power to the British courts to ignore the decisions given by them. European Court of Human Rights, is currently the final arbiter of rights law in dozens of countries, including the UK. It was an ECHR judge who ruled last week that an Iraqi man should not be deported to Rwanda as part of the government’s controversial deportation plan, a decision that led to the flight being halted.
justice secretary Dominic Rabo said the bill, which would replace the UK’s Human Rights Act, would “curb abuse of the system and inject a little more common sense” into human rights law.
Raab said Britain would maintain its “fundamental commitment” to the European Convention on Human Rights, but its move could put it on a collision course with the Council of Europe, which oversees the Strasbourg-based Court of Rights.
In the wake of the country’s departure from the European Union, the government referred to the Bill of Rights as a claim to British sovereignty. However, the European Court of Human Rights is unaffiliated with the European Union; It is an international tribunal supported by 46 countries.
Rights groups said the government’s move would remove some of the main tools the public has the right to keep from the powerful.
Amnesty International UK chief executive Sacha Deshmukh said: “The public is being stripped of its most powerful tool to challenge wrongdoing by the government and other public bodies.”
Stephanie Boyce, president of the Law Society of England and Wales, said the Bill of Rights was “backwards for British justice.”
“Authorities may consider certain violations of rights acceptable because, even though they are against the law, they can no longer be challenged under the Bill of Rights,” she said.
