  7. Conservative Party’s Plan to Repeal Human Rights Laws

    Speech by the leader of the Conservative party in Manchester

    October 2025

    These are some extracts from the speech Kemi Badenoch MP gave to the Conservative party conference in Manchester this week. We have selected those parts which focus on human rights issues and in particular the plan to leave the European Convention and to repeal the Human Rights Act.

    “[…] It is fundamental, why can’t we control our borders and remove those who need to go? All these

    questions boil down to who should make the laws that govern the United Kingdom? Conservatives, believe it should be our sovereign Parliament, accountable to the British people. The reality today, is that this is simply not the case.

    “This use of litigation as a political weapon is what I call lawfare. Well-meaning treaties and statutes – like the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Convention on Action against Trafficking drafted with the best of intentions in generations gone by, and more recent additions like the Modern Slavery Act, are now being used in ways never intended by their original authors.

    “What should be shields to protect the vulnerable, have instead become swords to attack democratic decisions and frustrate common sense. It is that whole system which we need to reform. And the place to start is the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Five tests that a country has to pass to be truly sovereign.

    First, can we deport foreign criminals and those who are here illegally?

    Second, can we stop our veterans being harassed through the courts?

    Third, can we put British citizens first for social housing and public services?

    Fourth, can we make sure protests do not intimidate people or stop them living their lives?

    And fifth, can we stop endless red tape and legal challenges choking off economic growth?

    [Lord Wolfson was commissioned to study the ECHR and our membership of it and produced a report the key conclusion was]

    When it comes to control of our sovereign borders, preventing our military veterans from being pursued indefinitely, ensuring prison sentences are applied rigorously for serious crimes, stopping disruptive protests, or placing blanket restrictions on foreign nationals in terms of social housing and benefits, the only way such positions are feasible would be to leave the ECHR.’

    Commitment to leave

    [Badenoch] “We must leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act. Conference, I want you to know that the next Conservative manifesto will contain our commitment to leave (our emphasis). Leaving the Convention is a necessary step, but not enough on its own to achieve our goals. If there are other treaties and laws, we need to revise or revisit then we will do so. And we will do so in the same calm and responsible way, working out the detail before we rush to announce.

    “The rights we enjoy did not come from the ECHR. They were there for hundreds of years in our common law. Parliament has legislated over centuries to reflect and protect our freedoms. Human Rights in the United Kingdom did not start in 1998 with the Human Rights Act, and will not end with it. As we work through our detailed plan, we are clear that leaving the ECHR and repealing the Human Rights Act will not mean that we lose any of the rights we cherish”. […]

    Comment

    The statement by the Conservative leader is clear and unequivocal. Even allowing that it is a speech a long way from an election and designed to encourage a party currently scoring badly in the polls, it is part of a worrying trend with more and more voices calling for us to leave the ECHR.

    The big claim towards the end of her speech quoted above that ‘Human Rights in the United Kingdom did not start in 1998 with the Human Rights Act, and will not end with it‘.’ Many did start, and some will end if it is repealed. If there will be no difference, then why the desire to end it? She seems to have forgotten that the HRA was introduced because people had to go to Strasbourg to get the justice denied them in the British courts. It is nonsense to claim that the HRA has added nothing of benefit to the rights of the ordinary person.

    There are likely to be many who will disagree with Lord Wolfson’s benign conclusion that the proposed departure from the ECHR would be fully compliant with the Belfast Agreement.

    Leaving the ECHR will be a retrograde step and have repercussions for our international relations. It is likely to make trade between us and Europe more difficult. We will join Russia and Belarus as the only nations outside its remit. Repealing the HRA – which has been promised several times before by Conservative leaders but never carried out – will seriously damage our rights as citizens. Combined with recent legislation to limit protests for example, it will be a retrograde step.

  9. oggi, 4 settembre, a roma (piazza vittorio): proiezione di “no other land” / in memoria di awdah hathaleen

    NO OTHER LAND

    Giovedì 4 settembre proiezione speciale all’Arena

    Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio
    in memoria di Awdah Hathaleen

    Giovedì 4 settembre alle ore 20:30Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio ospiterà la proiezione di No Other Land, vincitore dell’Oscar 2025 come Miglior Documentario. Ad introdurre la proiezione saranno: Riccardo Noury, portavoce di Amnesty International Italia, l’organizzazione per i diritti umani che ha dato il patrocinio al documentario, e Massimo Righetti, in rappresentanza di ANEC AGIS Lazio.

    L’evento vuole ricordare il coraggio e il sacrificio di Awdah Hathaleen, co-autore e protagonista del film, brutalmente ucciso il 28 luglio scorso da un colono israeliano, colpevole solo di difendere pacificamente la propria terra.

    La sua uccisione è parte di uno sterminio senza fine, che viola sistematicamente ogni diritto umano previsto anche dal codice Internazionale.

    No Other Land è oggi più che mai un’opera necessaria per contrastare lo sterminio del popolo Palestinese e lo fa attraverso lo sguardo diretto di chi, come Hathaleen, non ha mai smesso di credere nel potere del dialogo e del confronto pacifico.

    Padre di tre figli, insegnante, giornalista ex attivista politico, Hathaleen era un punto di riferimento per tutta la sua comunità. La sua vita – e la sua tragica morte – incarnano le tematiche centrali del documentario: la resistenza, il conflitto multigenerazionale, l’ingiustizia sistemica e il potere della testimonianza.

    L’obiettivo della serata è offrire uno spazio pubblico di memoria, denuncia e consapevolezza, per restituire dignità alla figura di Awdah Hathaleen e non permettere che la sua voce sia messa a tacere. Un’occasione anche per riflettere, insieme, sul significato profondo di No Other Land e sull’urgenza di trasformare lo sdegno in responsabilità.

    Un grido di dolore per dire BASTA FERMATEVI!!!!

  14. Amnesty International: Five Ways Our #RightToProtest is Being Threatened Around the World

    by James Duggan, October 5, 2022

    "All around the world, right now, peaceful protestors are being imprisoned, threatened, and face physical violence from authorities. Even at home, in #Australia, our right to stand up and speak out against injustice is being taken away. Now more than ever, it’s essential we continue to fight for our #HumanRights.

    "The right to protest is a fundamental human right. #Article20 of the #UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights states that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The right to protest is a way for people to defend their human rights and the rights of others when they’re threatened by governments and authorities.

    "Here are five places where the right to protest is currently at threat:

    1. #Australia

    "Right here in Australia, governments and authorities are adopting an increasingly punitive attitude towards protestors. In 2020, peaceful protestors at a #BlackLivesMatter rally in #Sydney were met with excessive and unnecessary force from #NewSouthWales Police. Police used pepper spray and chased student protestors on horseback at the University of New South Wales, and pushed them to the ground. Both protestors and bystanders were injured in the process.

    "The following year, in November 2021, a #ClimateActivist was sentenced to 12 months in jail after he climbed atop a #coal train and stayed on it for five hours to protest Australia’s #climate policies. Twenty-eight other people belonging to the same activist group were also arrested in NSW that month.

    "In 2022, the NSW Government announced that disrupting any bridge or tunnel in Greater Sydney as part of a protest would result in individual fines of $22,000. This is a ten-fold increase from the previous penalty of $2,200. The NSW Government also plans to introduce legislation which would mean this $22,000 fine would also apply to protestors disrupting roads and public transport facilities.

    2. #HongKong

    "In June 2020, a new law came into effect in Hong Kong, referred to as the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL). What “national security” refers to in this law isn’t well defined, and the NSL has been applied arbitrarily at the discretion of the government and authorities to suppress #dissent and political opposition.

    "In September 2021, a human rights lawyer named #ChowHangTung was arrested under this law and charged with 'inciting subversion.' She faces up to ten years in prison for peacefully commemorating the 1989 #Tiananmen Square protest crackdown. During the 1989 crackdown, an undisclosed number of people, anywhere from hundreds to thousands, were killed by authorities for gathering to protest the government’s censorship laws. At least three other activists were arrested along with Chow Hang-tung in relation to the peaceful memorial of these victims.

    3. #Cambodia

    "In May 2021, three young activists belonging to a Cambodian environmental campaign group called #MotherNatureCambodia were convicted to between 18 and 20 months in prison. They were arrested after they announced a plan to undertake a two-person march to the #Cambodian prime minister’s house in order to express their concerns regarding plans to privatise and develop the largest remaining #lake in the country’s capital city. They were charged with 'incitement to commit a felony or disturb social order.'

    "Mother Nature Cambodia have won several major #environmental victories in Cambodia. In 2016, their efforts to expose widespread environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to the #mining and export of #sand from coastal areas of Cambodia resulted in a total export ban on #CoastalSand from the country. As a result, the group have been targeted with harassment and repression from the Cambodian government. Multiple other activists have been charged with 'incitement,' and the group has been accused of 'causing chaos in society' and labelled 'illegal' because they’re not registered under the country’s restrictive NGO Law.

    4. #Russia

    "The right to protest in Russia has been severely compromised since 2004, when the Federal Law on Assemblies, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Pickets was passed. The Law on Assemblies restricts who’s allowed to organise a protest and where the protest is allowed to be held, and subjects planned protests to a strict authorisation process that often results in permission being denied.

    "Since 2004, legislation has been tightened numerous times. Most recently, the Russian government introduced new, heavy penalties for anyone who protests Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine. Less than three weeks after the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, almost 15,000 peaceful protestors had been arrested. #RussianAuthorities have arrested bystanders of protests and even children. Police have used excessive force against peaceful protestors, including women, subjecting them to beatings and electrocution with stun guns.

    5. #India

    "In India, draconian laws such as 'the crime of sedition' have been repeatedly used against peaceful protestors, journalists and human rights defenders. The slow investigative processes and strict bail conditions under these laws mean that activists and others who speak out against injustice in their country may spend many years behind bars while their trial is ongoing.

    "In 2021, a 22-year-old #EnvironmentalActivist named #DishaRavi was charged with '#sedition' for sharing an online Google document that was originally tweeted by #GretaThunberg. The document was a basic 'toolkit' for #farmers in India who were then in the midst of protests against the Indian government over newly introduced agricultural legislation. The 'toolkit' included information on the protests and how to support the movement, both in person and online. Disha is a leader of India’s #FridaysForFuture movement, an international student environmentalist movement instigated by Greta Thunberg.
