Citizens‑First Human Rights Framework

Updated: 2025.09.19 1M ago 1 sources
The author proposes replacing the ECHR/Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights that explicitly prioritizes citizens’ collective security and social cohesion over the individual claims of non‑citizens. It adds a 'national preference' principle and a duty for authorities to pre‑empt crime and disorder linked to immigration and asylum. — This reframes rights from universalism toward membership‑weighted protections, altering how courts, the Home Office, and Parliament balance asylum claims against domestic order.
