Khoodeelaar! Legal action programme – The Muhammad Haque daily [constitutional law] commentary
0840 Hrs GMT London Saturday 26 May 2007
As I have said before, the Khoodeelaar! movement against the Crossrail hole Bill attacks on the East End of London will test the relevance of the claim that ‘English law’ and or the ‘UK domestic law’ has all the remedies that a free and civilised society should afford its ‘citizens’.
The process of finding out just how true that assertion is has just begun. The most recently retired [but not intellectually inactive] ‘Lord Chief Justice’ of England is one of those who are on the record as having said this. That ‘English law’ without including the ECHR and its implications, has had in it the remedies and the protection for the ‘citizen’ that the ‘European law’ provides. The claim has been most elaborately made over the past few years in several opinions and judgements issued by the judicial form of the UK House of Lords [the UK’s Supreme Court or the nearest to a UK Supreme Court in comparison with the highest courts in any ‘sovereign’ country]. The ‘debate’ staged in the UK in the run up to the state’s formal incorporation of the so-called human rights conventions exposed the contradictions of the so-called British constitution. It also showed up as unsubstantiated the [‘judicial’ or, rather, the ‘judiciary’s’] assertion that the UK’s domestic legal system had sufficient protections for the ordinary ‘citizen’. What the incorporated law provides for is not only not the totally provisions that exist under the main ECHR and its world version as contained within the United Nations Organisation.
The UK’s legislation is, typically tokenistic and in the long run dishonest.
No wonder that some of the alleged backers of the statute ['The Human Rights Act 1998'] are now among the fiercest of its critics, no! Condemners!. One of those being the so-called Home Secretary John Reid.
How long it will take before the series of Khoodeelaar! legal actions is concluded is not possible to say at this stage. But it will take a significant length of time before any definitive statement can be made by way of the ‘final outcome’.
The ECHR is the main framework for the initial court application and attendant actions that Khoodeelaar! has now filed in the London High Court to stop the Crossrail hole Bill attacks on the community in the East End of London
Within that framework fall the UK’s domestic legislation, specially the Human Rights Act 1998.
Also included are the UK legislations listed below
The Freedom of Information Act
The Race Relations Act 1976
The Race Relations [Amendments] Act 2000
