Ukraine dominates the news
BUT
Don't forget - the Human Rights Act consultation.
The consultation has been extended (beyond 8 March) until 19 April but only to enable responses from those "who would be assisted by an Easy Read or audio version." "This includes organisations who solely or greatly represent the interests of those who would be assisted by an audio or Easy Read version in order to respond." See the government's statement (where a link to the "Easy Read" version is now provided) -
Human Rights Act Reform: A Modern Bill of Rights - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Joshua Rozenberg wrote about the extension - see HERE
The government's regressive proposals for a "Modern Bill of Rights" will make it much harder for individuals to enforce their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights and will enhance executive power.
My look at the Independent Panel's report commences HERE (5 posts) and the Government's Consultation is considered from HERE (3 posts).
