Human Rights Act Replacement Still Delayed By UK Parliament Due To The Brexit

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said she plans to go with the “lift and shift” of EU human rights laws and enshrine them into UK laws but only after the Brexit. According to Mrs May, she intends to go further with the enshrinement of the UK’s own human rights laws than her predecessor David Cameron originally planned. To pull out the UK from the European Commission on Human Rights is at the heart of her campaign.

However, the processing of the UK’s exit from the EU could take until 2019. According to UK Attorney General Jeremy Wright, no plans or even negotiations for the UK’s position in the EU’s single market could happen until the UK finally makes its exit from the EU.

But for tories, the delay is only acceptable if no further delays in the Brexit’s processing will happen. Shipley Tory MP Philip Davis said the delay is only forgivable as long as Mrs May does not do a “con job” of the entire Brexit process -- either she turns her back on her promises or cites further delays.

PM Theresa May had her own frustrations with the EHCR in the past when she intended to extradite hate preacher Abu Qatada. Under the decision of the ECHR, Qatada and other suspected terrorists in Britain and the EU cannot be rendered stateless by the government.
