Rejected petition AMEND BRITISH HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 1998 TO BE "HUMAN RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT"

More details

We call for the amendment of current legislation without delay to provide balance to the British Human Rights act so that it assigns responsibilities to all who enjoy those rights. First and foremost, no one individual's rights shall infringe on the rights of others. With every right comes responsibility. Any human right shall also not free that human from the responsibly to abide by the laws of Britain or the consequences of failing to do so.
