Human Rights Act (United Kingdom)

The Human Rights Act (United Kingdom) is a law that protects fundamental rights and freedoms for all individuals in the UK. It incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, allowing people to assert their rights, such as freedom of expression, privacy, fair trials, and protection from torture or inhumane treatment. The Act also requires public authorities, like courts and government bodies, to respect and uphold these rights. It aims to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with dignity, providing a legal framework for safeguarding individual freedoms within the UK legal system.
