Pleased to welcome the heads of key institutions from the Netherlands: the Vice-President of the Council of State, the National Ombudsman & the President of the Court of Auditors. We exchanged on important human rights developments in the Netherlands & Europe, incl. challenges to the #ECHR system.
Important discussions with NHRIs & Ombudspersons this week. Discussed current #HumanRights challenges & the ongoing debate on the #ECHR system with IHREC Chief Commissioner, the Finnish Human Rights Centre Director, the Netherlands National Ombudsman and the Human Rights Ombudswoman of Slovenia.
I couldn’t care less about you taking me off a banknote but I’m furious about you proposing to remove the UK from the #ECHR: the achievement of which I am most proud.

At a time when democracy is under pressure, when some governments seek to silence dissent, weaken trade unions, and scapegoat migrants and other minorities, the European Convention on Human Rights #ECHR has never been more vital @etuc-ces.bsky.social @echr.coe.int www.etuc.org/en/document/...
It is in our cooperation and complementarity that we can be effective in confronting the vast challenges for human rights, democracy and rule of law.

National Human Rights Institutions & Ombudspersons should assist their governments to ensure that the political declaration expected in May will not do harm and, at best, will constitute a timely affirmation of the importance of the Convention and of the work of the Court.

I call on National Human Rights Institutions and Ombudspersons to be ambassadors for the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights.

Why should the European Convention on Human Rights matter to young people in the UK today?

They love Churchill at #GBNews, but they hate his legacy; the #ECHR.
The hypocrisy.
EJELS just published this paper by the eminent Jon Kåre Skiple and myself:
"Bringing Rights Back Home? How Judges Handle Multilayered Constitutional and International Human Rights Laws on the Supreme Court of Norway"

Constructive meeting with Liam Herrick, Chief Commissioner of IHREC, on the human rights situation in Ireland and the ongoing debate on the European Convention on Human Rights system. #ECHR #HumanRights
Remember: do not trust ANY government or political party that want to remove or change our human rights.
And that goes for #Labour & #Tories who want to make massive changes to them & #Reform who want to remove them completely.

Right to a speedy trial? In the US #BillofRights you do, in theory in the UK you do from the #ECHR but in practice UK courts just ignore it. At the beginning of a court case today petitioner gave a motion to dismiss and it was granted

Disgraceful.
But remember: this will happen here in the #UK too, if you vote #Reform.
#Farage wants a UK #ICE. And once he removes us from the #ECHR, removing our basic human rights, then we'll not be able to do a thing about it.
#DontVoteReform
much like the UK's constant contortions to escape the #ECHR
ironic because it was set up after WW2, by Churchill and the UK, to ensure that the conditions that led to WW2 never happen again.
then Farage and his far-right mates turn up and need to be unbound by that!
Fucking hell! 😮
Brighton police getting people ready for a #Reform govt by getting us used to being a police state.
Of course, we won't be able to do anything about it, because #Farage will have removed us from the #ECHR. 🙄
#FarRightAge campaigned for #Brexit .. as a consequence, it is more difficult to return asylum seekers to EU .. he now wants to quit #ECHR, so that he can deport non-whites from UK .. he models himself on #Grifter #Racist #Fascist #Trumpstein .. and look what's happening over there?
:If #ReformUK got into power, they would remove #WorkersRights ,like reducing the #minimumwage ,& leaving the #ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights).
Please sign & repost!

Fucking #ICE BASTARDS!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
RIP, Mr Damas.
Remember that #Farage wants a #UK ICE too, & after #Reform remove us from the #ECHR, we'll not be able to do a thing about it.

In discussing the #ECHR and migration, it is important to distinguish legal from political considerations, provide clarity about the actual nature and scale of the issues raised by member states, be firm on principles, and be transparent about the process, says @commissionerhr.coe.int
In the discussions about the #ECHR, happening this week, @commissionerhr.coe.int calls on state representatives to be firm on the universality of human rights, the independence of the Court, and to preserve the integrity and the sustainability of the Convention system.

How do we protect the future of Europe’s human rights system? By being legal, factual, firm, and transparent. In my address to the CDDH, I called for an evidence-based approach that upholds the universality of rights and the independence of the European Court of #HumanRights. #ECHR 👇
Exchange on wide ranging topics with UN High Commissioner Volker Turk on #HumanRights in Europe, including the need to embed human rights in peace processes for Ukraine and for continued support to the European Convention on Human Rights. Protecting the #ECHR system is more vital than ever.
People now rarely percieve the scale and prevalence of #violence that was visited upon children in #schools in this era.
I was beaten on my very first day of school by a teacher, Mrs C, who used a metal ruler. This was to teach others a lesson.
I was not yet 5.
