| Abstract: | Key Talking Points:
1) The impact of Brexit on the UK legal system: The withdrawal from the EU will challenge the level of Human Rights protection due to the closing of the direct path to international courts and limiting the jurisdiction of the EJC 2) Facts and fiction about the Human Rights Act: The Human Rights Act has been portrayed as protector of villains; this perception has become normalised in our culture. Human rights are under attack, and criticism of the Act is so constant that the legislation has become polarised. 3) Brexit and Immigration: Major questions on immigration follow the outcome of the referendum. The future rights of EU citizens’ residence and the future immigration framework for EU citizens following the withdrawal from the EU. 4) Why do Human Rights matter to us so much as a society? The Human Rights Act does more than merely focus the minds of administrators and help judges reach decisions. It stands for the important claim about Britain's true place in the world as a liberal society. 5) Brexit and asylum life after the Dublin regulation: We need to consider the implication of Brexit for redistribution of asylum seekers within the EU. 6) EU children in the UK post Brexit: It is widely accepted that the referendum itself, and the consultations thereafter have not engaged sufficiently with the voices of children. |
