Human Rights Law

The Human Rights Act 1998 was implemented in October 2000. The Act protects the fundamental human rights identified by the European Convention of Human Rights and ratifies them as part of our domestic law. In essence, any decision made in respect of an individual’s entitlement to enter or remain in the UK must be compatible with the requirements of the rights set out in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).

Human rights mean that everyone should be treated fairly, equally, and with dignity. They are based on fundamental ideas in the rule of law, equality before the law and the basic liberty of every citizen.The protected rights include the right to life, the right to freedom from torture and inhuman degrading treatment, the right to be made aware of the specific charges & the nature of the evidence against a client, the right to a fair hearing (civil/criminal), and the right to freedom from discrimination.
