The UK Human Rights Blog was launched on 31 March 2010 and is written by members of 1 Crown Office Row barristers’ Chambers.
For 10 years, 1 Crown Office Row, the Chambers of Philip Havers QC, have run the widely acclaimed free Human Rights Update service. The new UK Human Rights Blog aims to provide a free, comprehensive and balanced legal update service.
Our intention is not to campaign on any particular issue, but rather to present both sides of the argument on issues which are often highly controversial.
This excellent blog and resource on human rights law is edited by a team from 1 Crown Office Row – Angus McCullough QC, Rosalind English and Adam Wagner. The blog supplements the definitive FREE resource (You do have to register to receive it)
There aren’t that many detailed law blogs in the UK – although the list is growing, pleasingly. Whether you are a practitioner, academic, student or just have an interest in this field – this must be the first port of call for exposition, explanation and access to UK Human Rights law – and, best of all, it is FREE!
Bit slow picking this one up old chap, I’ve been going there for sometime.
Last night the Council of Europe tweeted “Nick Clegg to reconsider prisoner voting ban” from the Guardian.
The UK Human Rights Blog tweeted back “Does Nick Clegg want prisoners to vote?”.
The Council of Europe thanked The UK Human Rights Blog for bringing it to their attention, and said they would be monitoring the situation.
It is nice to know that as Cameron and Clegg argue over which of them in bed is hogging more of the blanket, that the Council of Europe is watching them closely to ensure that the lifting of the blanket ban on prisoners votes is aired publicly!
Jailhouselawyer – ha! I have known about this resource and the blog for some time…. I just failed to mention in last law site review (Which I don’t claim to be all blogs – as I do these on a reasonably regular basis and get round to most people in time!)
It is an excellent resource and blog.
