European Court of Human Rights

Baroness Chakrabarti Excerpts

Monday 5th September 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

I think the answer to that question is in the affirmative. The UK Government follow carefully any case that concerns UK citizens under the convention.

[Baroness Chakrabarti (Lab)]

Does the Minister, as a jurist of some distinction, agree that dialogue between domestic courts and international ones is incredibly important, and that is what is enshrined in the Human Rights Act?

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

I thank the noble Baroness; I entirely agree with the importance of dialogue.
