Introduction to Human Rights:
Human rights law has centred upon looking to guarantee individuals and groups basic fundamental rights and freedoms, including the rights to life, liberty and security, that were first espoused in Europe with the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 that was enacted into domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998 as a key part of the platform upon which the Labour Party came to power in government in the UK. Consequently, the following aspects of this area need to be considered for the purposes of developing an understanding of its domestic and international prominence in contemporary society.
