That doesn't matter.
It should be British High Court and Supreme Court passing judgement on the Government. Not Europe.
LOL give me a freaking break. You are so anti Europe that you cant even get your history or your definitions in order.
First off, lets be very very clear here. The European Convention on Human Rights was not only promoted heavily by the UK, but also had UK "liberty" laws as its base. It is a very British convention with huge British thumb prints all over it.
Secondly it was created before the EEC/EU every existed (1950) and had a brit at its head at the start. It has a British judge today too. Hence also it has nothing to do with the EU/EEC.
Thirdly, this convention was drafted with more modern wording on the basis of the English bill of rights, American bill of rights and the French Declaration of the rights of men. It is what has secured our basic human rights, like the right to vote, freedom of speech and so on, through out Europe for 60 years.
Fourth.. the UK signed and ratified this convention in 1953 and signed it in 1950. You have lived under said convention for over 60 years and time and time again the convention and court system has upheld very basic freedoms in the UK, that consecutive governments (mostly conservative btw) attempted to take away from all British or just parts it did not like. So coming now, 60 years later claiming some kind of "ceding of sovereignty" bs just because there is a case brought up by a bunch of supposed terrorists, is just pathetic. The UK has a history of breaching parts of the convention and are you telling me that just because they are suspected terrorists that it is okay to break human rights? It aint the first time that "terrorists" have brought cases in front of the court and against the UK. In some cases they won and in other case they lost.
How about Soering Vs the UK? It was this court that yet again "bonked" the UK government on the head for attempting to extradite a German national to the US where he could face the death penalty. I mean come on... it is a basic provision of the charter..
Or how about being gay in Northern Ireland before 1980? You do know that it was illegal and sodomy was banned right? Who got that statue removed.. not your precious government, nor your court system.. no it was this court that yet again put Human rights in the for front. And yes it was legal in the rest of the UK to be gay...
Or how about the Murry case.. here it actually ruled the same way as the UK legal system.. go figure!.. so much for the evil European court, and yes it was in a case of terrorism.
Like it or not, it has been this court that has defended the basic freedoms in the UK and around Europe.. including Turkey (who funny enough has signed on to this also as one of its founding members).
This court has been around for 60 years and doing the same thing as the US supreme court when it comes to human rights (as stated in the treaty).
