Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. The book seeks to relate the way the international law of the European Convention on Human Rights has been developed by the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg with the way the UK courts (especially the UK Supreme Court) have developed domestic UK law under the Human Rights Act. The book focuses on both the Convention and the Act and illustrates how the former provides a framework for the latter. Self-test questions and exam questions help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. Human Rights Law Directions has been written expressly to guide you through your study of human rights law, and clearly and concisely to explain the key areas of this fascinating subject. Combining academic quality with innovative learning features, this is an ideal text for those studying human rights law for the first time. This sixth edition has been fully updated with key developments in human rights law, including, for example: the latest position, after the 2024 general election, regarding any proposed reform of the legal protection of human rights in the United Kingdom; important developments in respect of climate change and human rights; the implications of human rights for online safety; the human rights implications of the Rwanda scheme for asylum seekers (now removed), the human rights framework for ‘modern slavery’, and the continuing dilemmas posed for human rights law by hate speech and by deportation, etc.
