Convert & retain The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into U.K. law

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

After Brexit, the European Convention, and the Human Rights Act which enshrines it in UK law, will be more important than ever. They will remain the most fundamental safeguard against abuses of human rights in the UK. This needs to be protected and converted to U.K. law before it’s too late!
