How fundamental rights diverge between the UK and the Commonwealth Caribbean
In short: Explore the legal evolution of human rights protection. This lecture by Leslie Thomas QC examines the judicial safeguards and inherent vulnerabilities within the UK's Human Rights Act and the diverse constitutional frameworks of the Commonwealth Caribbean.
The lecture investigates the landmark Human Rights Act 1998, which brought the European Convention on Human Rights into British domestic law to provide quasi-constitutional protections. While many Commonwealth Caribbean national constitutions draw inspiration from the European Convention, they often diverge significantly from it.
Leslie Thomas QC confronts the legal shortcomings and vulnerabilities present in the judicial protection of these fundamental rights across both regions.
