Since its inception in 1998, the Human Rights Act (HRA) has faced widespread criticism on legal, constitutional, political, and cultural grounds. In recent years, this criticism has intensified significantly, with politicians considering proposals to abolish the HRA. This book aims to examine the main arguments against the HRA and the issues that have contributed to public hostility towards the protection of human rights.

The first part of the book explores the legal structures and constitutional aspects of the case against the HRA. It examines the criticism that the HRA is undemocratic, as it allows judges to override the will of parliament. The book also looks at specific issues where cases involving the HRA have raised broader public concerns about the protection of human rights, such as immigration and terrorism.

The second part of the book examines the structural issues that have generated hostility to the HRA. It looks at media coverage and the perception of the legal profession, which have played a significant role in shaping public opinion on the HRA. The book aims to unravel the complex climate of hostility that the HRA has faced and examine the social, political, and legal forces that continue to inform the case against it.

In conclusion, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the HRA and its critics. It explores the legal, constitutional, political, and cultural arguments against the HRA and examines the structural issues that have contributed to public hostility towards its protection of human rights. The book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding the HRA and its impact on society.
