Sovereignty Intact

Bol

Provides a fascinating, evidence-driven challenge to the political charge that foreign courts impede UK parliamentary sovereignty. This book examines the relationship between the UK Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, and the relationship Parliament had previously with the Court of Justice of the European Union. It examines these relationships in the context of the highly-politicised area of immigration.The book illustrates, despite frequent claims to the contrary, that the adjudication of rights by ‘foreign’ courts in cases involving immigration has not in fact impeded Parliament’s work or its sovereignty. By applying the democratic dialogue model to the relationship between the Parliament and these courts, the book illustrates the dynamic and interactive nature of the relationships. The institutions, working together, produce moderated and normatively advantageous human rights protections. Tackling the contentious issue of UK sovereignty, this important book, through rigorous analysis, expertly dismantles one of the most charged political claims of recent times.
