Britain and the European Convention on Human Rights (EI Note)

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) has, in recent years, come under attack in the United Kingdom. The relevant debates feature two main options for reforming the relationship between the ECHR and the UK: The creation of a British Bill of Rights, and reform within the current institutional framework. In this briefing paper, Dr Virginia Mantouvalou (UCL Laws), discusses both options.
