Recommendation 21
21
Paragraph: 150
The ability to enforce Convention rights is crucial to the protection of human rights.
Conclusion
The ability to enforce Convention rights is crucial to the protection of human rights. The HRA is the principal way in which the UK both secures to everyone within its jurisdiction the Convention rights (Article 1 ECHR)–and how it enables them to be enforced so that there is an “effective remedy” in case of a breach of Convention rights (Article 13 ECHR).
