Britain will not abandon the European Convention on Human Rights but a new Bill of Rights will establish UK Supreme Court in London as the ultimate arbiter on human rights issues. The announcement was done by Dominic Raab, UK Deputy Prime Minister and Justice minister, and follows the European Court ruling which blocked Boris Johnson s efforts to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The new Bill of Rights could see the UK refusing to follow certain rulings by the European Court of Human Rights. The move comes after a judge in Strasbourg stopped flights from removing asylum-seekers to Rwanda.
