'There are substantial grounds for believing that the removal of the claimants to Rwanda would expose them to a real risk of ill-treatment by reason of refoulement' [repatriation to the countries from which they fled].
Unfortunately for the #Tory right (but likely to be ignored by them) the ruling is not only based on our membership of the #ECHR, but on a range of international commitments & a decisive intervention by the UN Refugee Agency.
Es gibt keine Migrationskrise, nur eine Menschlichkeitskrise.
Flucht entsteht durch Hoffnung. Hoffnung entspringt Not. Not kommt durch Gefälle an Sicherheit und Optionen. Ein Gefälle von dem wir bislang leben und profitieren. Mauern werden uns daher moralisch nicht helfen können
@GuidoKuehn All jenen, die das für eine Übertreibung halten, rate ich zum Blick über den Kanal nach #Brexit#UK. Dort trommeln die Tabloids und rechte Politiker auch innerhalb der "konservativen" Partei, allen voran Innenministerin Cruella #Braverman seit mehreren Jahren für einen Austritt aus der #ECHR.
Ireland’s prime minister has said he is concerned to see the UK “disengaging from the world”, and accused it of turning inwards by leaving the EU, slashing international aid and now considering abandoning a human rights treaty.
Leo Varadkar warned that Brexit, aid cuts and talk of abandoning the European Convention on Human Rights are ‘not the Britain I know’.
In response to the Russian [supreme] court's dismissive handling of the climate case, the group went to its Plan B: lodging the same lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights (#ECHR) in September 2023."
Look everyone, Sunak's found another bandwagon he can fall off as soon as he gets asked a tricky question, like "why do we need to leave the ECHR?" 🙄😡 #UKPolitics#Immigration#RefugeesWelcome#ECHR
Commissioner for Human Rights:
"Encryption is a vital tool for the protection of the right to privacy, freedom of expression and many other #HumanRights and indispensable for digital security.
@coe states have a duty to safeguard individual rights in line with the #ECHR "
"National courts could be ordered to cut #carbon dioxide #emissions if the complaint is upheld."
Instead of taking care of their children, countries do this:
"#Portugal's legal team has told the court that it is dedicated to fighting #ClimateChange, and also that the applicants have not provided direct evidence of the direct impact on them.
The #UK argued that the plaintiffs should have gone through national courts first."
Backed by the British-based Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), the Portuguese applicants, aged between 11 and 24, want a legally-binding decision that would force states to act."
A hearing over climate inaction against 32 countries opens at a European court.
Six young people from Portugal will take on 32 countries in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) today for not doing enough to stop global warming.
The unprecedented hearing is the world’s largest climate legal action to date.
Jesus.
Former Supreme Court Justice, Lord Sumption, in an interview yesterday on LBC, with Andrew Marr.
"Woke leftists quite often make the lazy and illogical claim that leaving the ECHR will mean we would 'lose our human rights'." #FFS#UKPolitics#ECHR
Six young people are preparing to appear at the European court of human rights to try to compel 32 nations to rapidly escalate their emissions reductions in the world’s largest climate legal action to date. They argue that a lack of adequate action is a breach of human rights.
The six Portuguese claimants say they were driven to act by their experiences in the wildfires that ripped through the Leiria region in 2017.
The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
"The U.K. Parliament is pushing ahead with a sprawling internet regulation bill that will, among other things, undermine the privacy of people around the world. The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services, which will destroy end-to-end encryption. No amendments have been accepted that would mitigate the bill’s most dangerous elements. "
