The British Government has been “prominent” in attacks on the European Convention on Human Rights in recent years, a top Irish legal expert has said.
Colm O’Cinneide, professor of constitutional and human Rights law at the University of Limerick, said these attacks have accused the court of “human rights imperialism”.
