Rejected petition Leave the European Convention on Human Rights and the Council of Europe.

Exit ECHR and the Council of Europe. Many people who voted for Brexit assumed leaving the EU meant leaving all European supranational institutions. As an independent nation state and island nation, the United Kingdom must have primacy over outside bodies in this key area.

More details

Exiting ECHR also means leaving the Council of Europe, another supranational entity that most UK citizens would not be aware of.
