Amnesty Accuses UK of Undermining Global Human Rights, Breaching Commitments in Gaza and Israel
Amnesty International accused the UK of deliberately weakening human rights protections both domestically and internationally for political gain, as outlined in their annual global report.
The organization's chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, criticized the UK for destabilizing the concept of universal human rights through its domestic policies and political actions.
The report also warned that the UK would be judged harshly by history for its failure to help prevent civilian slaughter in Gaza.
The Amnesty report criticizes the UK government for breaching international human rights commitments through policies targeting asylum seekers, migrants, and protesters.
The new legislation further restricts freedom of assembly and expression, and conflicts with the UN refugee convention and European human rights convention.
The Illegal Migration Act and related government rhetoric have effectively ended universal human rights protections for refugees, according to Amnesty.
These actions go against the fundamental principles of human rights.
The report criticizes the UK for its inaction in preventing human rights violations in Gaza through its UN leadership role and weak support for the ICC investigation into Israel and Palestine.
Additionally, the report highlights the UK's involvement in supplying arms and components for Israeli F-35 warplanes.
