Leducate Explains: European Convention on Human Rights
Source: https://www.europewatchdog.info/en/court/
In this article, we would like to look at what the European Convention of Human Rights is (ECHR).
Some ideas of what to include:
What is ECHR?
Is it different from the EU?
What countries are signed up to it?
How does it differ from the Human Rights Act?
How is the ECHR enforced in individual countries?
Does the European Court of Human Rights impact the decisions of the UK Supreme Court?
The above are guides of what we think will fit well in the article but are not prescriptive. The aim of the article is to give the reader an idea of what ECHR is and what it means for the average person that ECHR exists.
NOTE - This article does stray very closely to the political. It should be noted that this series is purely informative, and should not take any particular opinion, good or bad.
The article should be 750 - 1000 words and should be an accessible explanation of the issue, in simple terms for to engage 16-18-year-olds without a legal background.
NOTE: We have found that it is essential for articles of this kind to be written with limited legal terms, and to be clearly defined when they are used, to make them as accessible as possible. We would ask, therefore, to limit complex legal jargon to ensure that the article is easily digestible by the targeted audience.
Remember - The law can be scary, at Leducate we hope to make it as accessible as possible!
