Has implemeting the European Convention of Humn Rights undermined British Parliamentary Soveriegnty?

Question

No need to be definite, and no yes or no answers. Providing a basic outline to the question that would provoke me to question more would be perfect.

Answer 1

No. The European Convention on Human Rights is just unfairly scapegoated by politicians for administrative failings in their own departments.

Take the case of the 9 Afghans who hijacked a plane in May after it left Afghanistan, ordering pilots to fly to London. The courts subsequently ruled that the hijackers could not be deported because they would be at risk of ill treatment. That decision was nothing to do with the Human Rights Act.

The European Convention on Human Rights was signed into British Law voluntarily anyway. Why Government ministers feel the need to openly critisise a law that for the first time in UK history enshrined the rights to freedom of speech, thought and association into law, and has dramitically improved equality for many including disabled people is beyond me.
