Fact Check: The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was established in 1950 to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe. It has been updated over the years to reflect modern challenges and remains a crucial safeguard against abuses of power.
#SecEnlightUK
For those saying the ECHR is out of dateโฆno.
It was built *exactly* for times like this.
Guarantees of human rights are not built for when the going is easy. They are built for when the going gets harder and bad leaders try to whip up their nations to do bad things.
