This Human Rights Day, we’ve joined the British Institute of Human Rights and 70+ organisations from across the UK to call on political leaders to stand up for all our human rights.

Christopher Stacey, Chief Executive of Prisoners Abroad, put his name to the open letter calling on political leaders to reaffirm the UK’s commitment to its human rights obligations, both nationally and internationally, and to make their own commitments to supporting a culture of respect for human rights across the UK.

“The Convention is part of a legal system but also a system of community and co-operation, of mutual respect for the rights and duties that were established in the Convention and now echoed in the UK’s own Human Rights Act.”
