Baroness Winterton of Doncaster (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

European Convention on Human Rights

Contribution

My Lords, does my noble friend the Minister agree that because the ECHR is committed to upholding the right to free and fair elections, those who advocate leaving the convention should understand that it would send a strong negative signal about the UK’s commitment to strengthening democracy and would undermine the work of election monitoring by international bodies such as the Council of Europe and the OSCE?
