A Bill to make provision for an application to the Council of Europe to withdraw from the European Convention of Human Rights and to deport alleged terrorists subject to approval by the British courts.
House of Commons
15 May 2014
This bill would authorise the UK to apply to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and sets out a framework to deport people accused of terrorism, with the deportation decisions requiring approval by UK courts. It links changes to human rights protections with criminal justice measures aimed at terrorism suspects. The overall aim is to alter how the UK engages with the ECHR and how terrorism-related deportations are handled.
The bill is at the second reading stage in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee and subsequent stages in Parliament.
