I knew the name rang a bell. I squirrelled this one away from a few threads about anti-ECHR and pro British Bill of Rights fervour from the other place.

Prof Philippe Sands QC, who sat on the 2013 commission on a bill of rights, said: "Mr Raab embraces a nationalistic and xenophobic spin on the idea of human rights, eviscerating one of its most fundamental tenets: basis human rights exist for all, and must be enforceable at the instance of all. The government wants to wind the clock back to a pre-1945 era, a time when, as writer Joseph Roth put it, 'the tombs of world history are yawning open ... and all the corpses one thought interred are stepping out."

Now found the source. I do feel the global factions are very much pro vs anti human rights as much as anything. Agreeing with Anne Applebaum in her most recent book www.theguardian.com/law/2022/jun...
