Convention Rights

Convention Rights are fundamental rights and freedoms established by the European Convention on Human Rights, which countries like the UK have agreed to uphold. They include protections such as the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech, privacy, and protection from inhumane treatment. These rights aim to ensure individuals are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity by the government and others. When laws or actions conflict with these rights, courts can review and challenge them to protect individuals’ fundamental freedoms, helping maintain a just and equitable society.
