Immigration Issues Human Rights & Asylum

Human rights arguments are relevant to all types of immigration and nationality cases. For example, Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights protects the right to private and family life and may be relevant when a person wishes family members to join them in the UK. The European Convention on Human Rights can also be used to argue for fair procedures and for a remedy and compensation when things have gone wrong.

There is also provision in UK immigration law for people to remain in the UK where to remove them would be a breach of their human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights or under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.
