About the event
In July 2024, a new Labour Government was elected into power. From the beginning, the new government made clear its commitment to strengthening workers’ rights, limiting involuntary detention of people with disabilities and autism, or addressing climate change. More recently, the government suspended arms export licences to Israel for use in military operations in Gaza.
On 1st October, the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Institute for Human Rights will host a discussion on the human rights challenges facing the new Labour Government. A panel of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ experts from Laws and the Department of Political Science will address the recent developments in human rights and analyse what challenges lie ahead for the new Government, including in areas such as migration, equality and workers’ rights, prisons, atrocity response, and finally, the UK’s future relationship with the European Convention on Human Rights.
