Euroscepticism and Human Rights in the UK, 2000-2022: The Human Rights Act in Jeopardy

Euroscepticisme et droits humains au Royaume-Uni : le Human Rights Act mis en cause
Edited by Charlotte Barcat and Annie Thiec

This volume looks at the debates and controversies surrounding the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA), in a context of rising Euroscepticism in the United Kingdom. The HRA, and sometimes by extension the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), came under fierce criticism to the point that plans to repeal the Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights had become official government policy under the Conservative government led by Boris Johnson – although the resulting bill was eventually shelved in 2022, and abandoned in 2023. Looking at the issue through the lens of various disciplinary fields (constitutional law, human rights and welfare law, political science and political history), the contributions highlight the connection between Eurosceptic discourses and attacks on the Act, attempting to assess the merits of the various arguments used against the Act, whether political or constitutional, and the possible implications that repeal might have had, in the UK at large but also in two of the devolved nations (Scotland and Northern Ireland).
