Is it imperfect? Yes. it’s the creation of human beings and there’s no such thing as perfection. But there’s no doubt that the Convention, since the UK adopted it over 70 years ago, has had enormously positive practical effects on our rights and freedoms. #ECHR #ECHR75

Over the years, people in the UK have used the Court to challenge profound injustices. Cases have led to the end of the ban on gay people serving in the armed forces, & to prevent teachers from hitting children. The ECHR has been used to protect victims of domestic violence & of child abuse #ECHR75
