On 1 March the Commission warned that watering down the UK's human rights legislation would seriously damage the country's credibility on the international stage and undermine rather than enhance our security.
The warning coincided with a political discussion, hosted by the Commission on the future of human rights legislation. The Rt Hon Jack Straw MP, Secretary of State for Justice, Dominic Grieve MP, Conservative Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and David Howarth MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary of State for Justice set out their respective party's position and answered questions from human rights experts.
