Proceedings at Interlaken conference
United Kingdom: Lady Patricia Scotland, Attorney General
Many delegations have stressed the need for both states and the Court to respect subsidiarity. I agree.
States, of course, have the primary responsibility for securing the Convention rights. We must all ensure that we implement the Convention in full, and we must empower our courts to grant effective remedies for any breach.
Comment:
I would contend that it binds the UK to fully complying with the Interlaken declaration, Convention, and Court decisions, and Committee of Ministers decisions on execution of the Court's decisions.
Shouldn't the UK stop wriggling because there is no getting off the hook!
Repeal s.3 of RPA 1983 and fully comply with Hirst v UK (No2) giving all convicted prisoners the vote.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
