‘Unthinkable’: Lawyer expresses dismay over plans to give home secretary powers to block ECHR 

"This should send the country into shock and outrage. If you watch just one thing today make it this," Peter Stefanovic said.

Lawyer and political campaigner Peter Stefanovic has expressed his dismay over plans to give the home secretary powers to overrule European court orders.

Suella Braverman said she needs the “crucial power” of being able to stop European judges from intervening in the deportation of would-be asylum seekers who have arrived in Britain via unauthorised routes.

Oliver Dowden, the newly-appointed deputy to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, said it was “right” for the leader of the Home Office to have discretional powers when considering interventions from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

However, he said the ability for Britain to block Strasbourg judges’ rulings would not apply to all its verdicts.

Reacting to the announcement, Stefanovic described the moves as “unthinkable”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
