UK Withdrawal From the European Convention on Human Rights: A Disaster for lgbt People

The European Convention on Human Rights Law Review has published my article titled "UK Withdrawal From the European Convention on Human Rights: A Disaster for lgbt People". Here is the abstract: Since the European Convention on Human Rights entered into force in 1953, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people have consistently sought to utilise it as a means of challenging discrimination against them. In the United Kingdom, various aspects of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity have been addressed by the European Court of Human Rights. In the context of vehement criticism of the European Court of Human Rights in the United Kingdom, this article explains the vital importance of the United Kingdom remaining a party to the European Convention on Human Rights in order to maintain and develop the protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from discrimination. The article is available here .
