What is evaluating the effectiveness of rights protection?Show answer
Rights protection in England and Wales has real strengths: the HRA made Convention rights enforceable at home, and the courts have used their powers in landmark cases such as the Belmarsh detention case and the Article 8 privacy cases. But there are limits: parliamentary supremacy means a section 4 declaration does not change the law, so protection depends on Parliament responding; qualified rights can be restricted; derogation is available in emergencies; and access to justice depends on funding (the LASPO 2012 cuts) and on victim standing.
