Sounds pretty awful, doesn't it? But let's go back to the beginning.

In December 2020 the UK government announced they would be looking into Human Rights reform in the near future.

These announcements became more concrete a year later on December 14th 2021, when the government began a "consultation" on restructuring the Human Rights Act.

The plan is to replace current rights legislation with a so-called "UK Bill of Rights", a policy dating from the Cameron administration. The new "bill of rights" would update and replace the Human Rights Act.

As a brief summary of UK human rights law:

Some rights are enshrined in common law from the days of Magna Carta, but the vast majority of the time when we talk about "human rights" in the UK we're referring to the Human Rights Act 1998.
