its reputation for developing and upholding the rule of law.

This is well and truly shattered by the current incumbents.

People need to understand the importance of the ECHR. It is a court that can counteract injustices within the UK. The people involved in the Hillsborough disaster were only able to get justice by taking their case to the ECHR. Had it been left to the government of the day, they would not have seen any justice. There are protections with the ECHR that you cannot entrust to the hands of your own government.

When you get bad actors like Braverman, this is our only reprieve from them being giving a free hand. ECHR is not just about protecting members of other countries; it is about protecting the citizens of all the countries involved including UK citizens. A government would only ever leave the ECHR if it had a desire to cause harm. This could be against us as members of the UK as well as those who have refugee claims.
