Most are covered by the HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 1998 and anyone who feels that their human rights have been abused or infringed can appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Summarise this in your own words The UK is a member of the European Convention on Human Rights and this means that ALL citizens of the UK are entitles to have their human rights upheld. What/who protects these rights in the UK?

16. The Human Rights Act 1998 contains important rights such as: Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be subjected to torture or inhumane treatment. Everyone has the right to liberty (unless lawfully arrested and imprisoned) Everyone charged with a criminal offence has the right to a fair trial. Everyone has the right to private family and home life. Everyone has the freedom of expression and assembly (unless they are threatening national security or public safety). Everyone has the right to live without prejudice. The Human Rights Act 1998 contains important rights such as: Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law.

MANY believe human rights should be overruled when national security is at risk. In other words those suspected of terrorism should not be entitled to human rights. SOME believe that the TERRORISM ACTS of 2000 and 2006 abuse people human rights as they allow police to arrest and detain suspected terrorists for long periods.

20. In 1996, a 15 year old Italian student, LEARCO CHINDAMO, who was living in Britain, was found guilty of murdering his school headmaster, Philip Lawrence. The teenager was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment, then he was to be sent back (deported) to Italy. However he appealed and won the right to stay in the UK under the Human Rights Act. Many people have criticised the Human Rights Act, claiming that sometimes it allows criminals to get away without proper punishment. http://www.blinkx.com/watch-video/appeal-over-lawrence-killer-ruling/IqyGUJsvBVvO-XAuozvDYw

21. http://www.blinkx.com/watch-video/cameron-scrap- human-rights-act/efZmX9dgMZ4sngGMnOEtAA Philip Lawrence’s wife was outraged that the Human Rights Act enabled her husbands murder to get what he wanted and that he had his human rights protected despite what he had done. Do you agree/disagree with the decision to let him stay in the UK? What rights did the Human Rights Act protect for Learco Chindamo? Did he deserve to have his rights protected?
