Recommendation 25
25
Paragraph: 172
The extra-territorial effect of the HRA is now relatively settled.
Conclusion
The extra-territorial effect of the HRA is now relatively settled. It essentially ensures protection for those under the control of UK public authorities, even when those public authorities are operating overseas. It is important that UK Armed Forces personnel overseas - as well as other victims of human rights violations - can also benefit from the protections in the HRA.
