Overview

  • Suella Braverman and Guy Dampier published a 56-page paper with the Prosperity Institute titled “Why and How to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights” that sets out six actionable steps to trigger an orderly withdrawal.
  • The proposal calls for invoking Article 58 of the convention, repealing the Human Rights Act 1998, and commissioning a case law review to prepare domestic law for post-ECHR governance.
  • It recommends amending devolution settlements, the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Good Friday Agreement and the Windsor Framework to safeguard the integrity of the United Kingdom.
  • The plan argues that exiting the Strasbourg court will restore parliamentary supremacy, secure borders, expedite deportations and enhance protections for veterans and national security.
  • Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch’s separate government review on ECHR membership remains under way with findings expected at the Conservative Party Conference later this year.
