Our CoR is a crucial part of Scots law that predates the EHCR and provides key rights incl. protection against malicious prosecution and rights to full restitution. Scots enjoyed CoR provisions long before the ECHR. It's heartbreaking that Scottish politicians and lawyers do not know this already !

England functions today by reducing Scotland to a battery, drained to sustain another state. Yet England holds no legal title to Scotland’s land, resources, wealth or energy, and no lawful authority, mandate or consent, to extract them. This 300 year old colonial condition is illegal annexation.

The 1689 Claim of Right underpins Scots Common Law and provides a distinctly Scottish authority for the human rights protections afforded by the ECHR and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The people of Scotland were guaranteed, as a condition of Union, that our CoR would be preserved.
