Parliamentary Sovereignty and the Human Rights Act (repost)

Parliamentary Sovereignty and the Human Rights Act
Hart Publishing (UK) | 2008 | ISBN: 1841138304 | 180 pages | PDF | 1 MB

The Human Rights Act 1998 is criticised for providing a weak protection of human rights. The principle of parliamentary legislative supremacy prevents entrenchment, meaning that courts cannot overturn legislation passed after the Act that contradicts Convention rights.
