UK human rights law is a body of laws and principles that protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals in the United Kingdom. It is primarily based on the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
The Human Rights Act 1998 provides a framework for individuals to enforce their rights in UK courts. It allows individuals to bring cases against public authorities if they believe their rights have been violated. This includes rights such as the right to life, freedom from torture and ill-treatment, right to liberty, right to a fair trial, right to private and family life, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of assembly, and freedom from discrimination.
The Act also introduced the concept of a declaration of incompatibility, which allows UK courts to make a declaration if they find that a UK law is incompatible with the rights protected by the Convention. While such a declaration does not invalidate the law, it puts pressure on the government to take action to address the incompatibility.
UK human rights law has important legal implications, particularly in areas such as political rights and counter-terrorism legislation. It plays a crucial role in balancing individual rights with the interests of society and ensuring fairness, equality, and justice for all individuals in the UK.

It has come to my attention what I believe to be the DWP violating the peoples human rights and the governments obligations regarding safe guarding there citizens.
The government swears an oath to protect and serve the uk people, they are not allowed to put people into depravity and into potential life threatening situations, which is also covered by the human rights act.
It has a duty to provide both shelter and a certain degree of living standards to its population and to safe guard there life against things like malnutrition from the lack of food.
It cannot write policies that directly violate these laws
I would like an explanation of how you constantly sanction benefits leaving claimants with no way to pay there rent or feed themselves for a month at a time, this in itself goes against the very laws that our Uk legal system put in place to protect people across the world.
How is it possible for the DWP to simply reduce a persons benefit, when that benefit is their only source of income, leaving them in a destitute and life threatening position, for simply not attending an appointment for being Ill and for which they were notified about prior to the appointment.
This is disgraceful treatment of the UK citizens from its Government that is suppose to be there to serve and safe guard there wellbeing.
Very Intressting as human Rights is by law right
They should practise what they preach in uk. Its all control of person. In uk or what they think which is never the case human rights is law globally.
At 2:48 and later you said the parliament is sovereign,does it mean it's sovereign over the people or just the citizens?
Legally, Parliament is the supreme law making authority in the UK. Politically, Parliament is subordinate to the people since the people elect MPs and hold them accountable.
This is the theory at least :)
@@thelawacademy1 I agree 👍 when you say in theory,is that because the people are ignorant and forgot the parliament supposed to serve us, and have no idea how to hold them accountable, plus the parliament believe they are are leaders over us,and forgot they need to follow the 7 Principles of Nolan ect.
Jamaica government system get corrupted we need help
What has the lesson of palestine genocide in the hands of Israel where UK and US plus other allies of Israel taught us?
