Why is international human rights law such an easy target?
United
Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein
delivered the following speech at the Law Society in London, 26 June
2017
( June 27, 2017, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) “Earlier
this month, Britain’s Prime Minister called for human rights laws to be
overturned if they were to “get in the way” in the fight against
terrorism. Specifically, Theresa May said there was a need “to restrict
the freedom and movement of terrorist suspects when we have enough
evidence to know they are a threat, but not evidence to prosecute them
in full in court.” For an increasingly anxious public, shaken by the
recent and dreadful terrorist attacks, her remarks no doubt reflected
real anger and frustration, but they also seemed intended to strike a
chord with a certain sector of the electorate, and it is this
expectation that truly worries me.
