Since its inception in 1998 the Human Rights Act (HRA) has come in
for a wide variety of criticism on legal, constitutional, political
and cultural grounds. More recently, this criticism escalated
significantly as politicians have seriously considered proposals
for its abolition. This book examines the main arguments against
the HRA and the issues which have led to public hostility against
the protection of human rights. The first part of the book looks at
the legal structures and constitutional aspects of the case against
the HRA, including the criticism that the HRA is undemocratic and
is used by judges to subvert the will of parliament. The second
part of the book looks at specific issues, such as immigration and
terrorism, where cases involving the HRA have triggered broader
public concerns about the protection of human rights. The final
section of this book looks at some of the structural issues that
have generated hostility to the HRA, such as media coverage and the
perception of the legal profession. This book aims to unpick the
complex climate of hostility that the HRA has faced and examine the
social, political and legal forces that continue to inform the case
against the HRA.
