19:5192428Brian you say in #19 that leaving the ECHR would be a bad move but do not give any reasons. What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of such a move?

21:3392444i made this point earlier on, i believe that each country should have its own bill of rights based on the culture and history of each c ountry.
human rights are not a "one size fits all" issue.

16:5392756Article 65.1 of the Convention provides for signatory countries to leave upon six month notice, viz:
A High Contracting Party may denounce the present Convention only after the expiry of five years from the date of which it became a Party to it and after six months' notice contained in a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, who shall inform the other High Contracting Parties.
No problem then.
