What is wrong with what the Strasbourg court has done for human rights?
Why it was felt that there was a need for human rights protection throughout Europe.
The development of a regional system of Human Rights protection operating across Europe can be seen as a direct response to twin concerns. First, in the aftermath of the Second World War, the convention, drawing on the inspiration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be seen as part of a wider response of the Allied Powers in delivering a human rights agenda through which it was believed that the most serious human rights violations which had occurred during the Second World War (most notably, the Holocaust) could be avoided in the future.
Dominic Raab's father fled to Britain to escape Nazi persecution.
Raab grew up in Buckinghamshire, to a Czech father, who came to Britain in 1938 as a Jewish refugee.
Clearly Dominic Raab is ungrateful that this country provided refuge from the Nazi regime, and would perhaps like to adopt some of Hitler's policies?
Mr Raab added: “The last thing the UK needs is the European Courts of Justice in Luxembourg doing for British crime and policing what the Strasbourg court has done for human rights.”
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.
