Why has this policy not been implemented in relation to Hirst v UK (No2)?
European Court of Human Rights
Ian Paisley Jnr (North Antrim, DUP)
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what his policy is on implementing decisions of the European Court of Human Rights applicable to the UK.
Jonathan Djanogly (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (HM Courts Service and Legal Aid), Justice; Huntingdon, Conservative)
The UK is a party to the European Convention on Human Rights and is obliged to comply with judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) as a matter of international law. Article 46(1) of the Convention, states: “The High Contracting Parties undertake to abide by the final judgment of the Court in any case to which they are parties”.
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.
