Introduction
The criticisms of the human rights situation in Britain occur when the country is negotiating with European countries and trying to reach an agreement on the exit from the European Union. According to the Guardian in September 2017, the United Kingdom has refused to accept more than 100 UN human rights recommendations. Of the 229 United Nations recommendations, Britain only accepts 96 actions and has announced that it will “consider” the rest. Thus, the British government has accepted only 42% of the recommendations, which is very low compared to the average acceptance of human rights recommendations by other European countries (73%).
In this section, apart from general violations or actions in local courts, it has been cited by human rights organizations and institutions; reference is also made to reference to these documents in independent reports.
The concept of human rights abuses
Human rights are the most basic and basic right that each individual inherently, innate, and purely human beings benefit from the consequences and significant social and political reflections that people and governments have. In accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international instruments, inclusiveness, inviolability, intransigence, indivisibility, non-discrimination and equality are interconnected and interconnected. Hence, all people in any part of the world who belong and no one can be deprived of the human rights of the geographic area in which they live, while all people, regardless of race, nationality, gender, etc., The enjoyment of these rights is equal and unmatched in this respect. These rights include natural or legal rights that exist under national and international law. The doctrine and human rights activists have laid the foundations for a public and private policy in their international activities in the field of international law, global and regional institutions, government policies and the activities of nongovernmental organizations. In fact, it can be said that, if the international community is in a peaceful atmosphere, with a common moral language, that common moral language is in fact called human rights. The concept of human rights violations is also called; human rights violations include non-observance of, violating and obstructing the enjoyment by humans of all rights that they enjoy solely on human rights and are raised in international documents. But another definition states that when the state and its affiliated institutions or non-governmental organizations deny and violate the fundamental rights of individuals, including civil, political, cultural, social and economic rights, violations of rights Man has occurred. Human rights violations can be found in two levels of law and enforcement in the United Kingdom, which are referred to below.
A) Human rights violations in the law
The Counter-Terrorism Act is the first serious step by the British government in the direction of violating human rights. The law, known as the Terrorist Act 2000, is the first legal bill by the British government following the Temporary Terrorism Act of 1989 and the Northern Ireland 1996 Bill, which includes parts such as section 44 on stop-and-search. Contradiction with the European Court of Human Rights. In this law, terrorist groups were named and included a hypocrites’ terrorist group in the bill, which, of course, disappeared some years later. Following this, a parliamentary law was passed in connection with the parliamentary vote of December 16, 2004. According to the House of Lords, the arrests of nine foreigners in Belmarar Prison without trial were illegal and contrary to the European and domestic rights.
The 2005 law allows the Ministry of Interior to impose control rules on suspected terrorist cooperation. These regulations may in some cases violate human rights law.
The Anti-Terrorism Act gave unconditional authority to the government to implement “control regulations” to restrict the freedom, movement and activities of suspected terrorists, based on confidential information. The imposition of “control provisions” for the executive branch was in the form of “declaration of charge”, “trial” and “issuing a ruling” to a person.
The 2005 law allows a person to deprive a person of the rights of fair trials. Among the rights that a person is deprived of under this law is as follows:
– The right to be informed promptly and in detail about the nature and cause of his charge
– The right to have trials in a reasonable period of time or to be free to appear in court
– The assumption of innocence for all accused persons for criminal offenses
– Equal treatment against the law and support for the law without any discrimination
– The right to self-defense, either personally or through a lawyer of his own choosing.
These laws are intensifying as the terrorist attacks in the country intensified, so at the beginning of November this year, following the statements of Secretary of Defense Michael Fallon, Deputy Secretary of State Rory Stuart announced that the British who joined the Islamic State should be killed. In this regard, you should expect more stringent laws against such individuals against Britain and its main allies like America.
B) Violations of human rights in implementation
There are many examples of violations of human rights in the run, for example, in 2009 (2009), when British students objected to the increase in tuition fees at universities, and at that time, with the approval of the bill on increasing university tuition in the UK, the intensity of student protests peaked. He found a lot of financial losses and injuries among students and police.
