Badenoch expected to back ditching human rights convention after review
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history,"
"The Independent has seen a copy of the draft conclusions to a review by former justice minister Lord Wolfson of Tredegar, which argues that the ECHR has gone well beyond the original intent of the convention in treating it as a living document. The Tory peer argued the convention has put unacceptable constraints on governments and domestic courts, and made anticipating rulings unpredictable. Kemi Badenoch is expected to commit the Tories"
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, with journalists deployed on the ground to investigate issues including Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet forgoes paywalls to make reporting accessible and relies on donations to fund reporting and send journalists to cover both sides. A review by Lord Wolfson concluded the European Convention on Human Rights has been treated as a living document and has exceeded its original intent, constraining governments and domestic courts. Kemi Badenoch is expected to back withdrawing from the ECHR at the upcoming Tory conference amid party instability.
