The major lawyer of the UK government attacked the suggestion of conservative leader Kimi Badnoush that Britain is preparing to leave the European Human Rights Conference, on the pretext that quitting international treaties will provide “Vladimir) experience.

On Thursday, Prosecutor Richard Hermer defended the need to adhere to international law, saying that the failure to do so will strengthen those who want to undermine the West.

In a lecture to the Royal United Services Institute, defense, Hermer said that governments had to remember the option to reform treaties such as the European Human Rights Convention, while the government is struggling to address issues such as irregular migration.

Hermer said: “The countries that have agreed to treaties some time have not provided an open license to international rules that are interpreted more consumed or that institutions adopt a position on blindness or indifference in public feelings in their member states,” adding that “international law cannot and should not be replaced by politics.”

But he warned that Badenoch’s invitation to all the international agreements of Britain is “not simply naive in a hopeless but dangerous way.”

He said: “I do not wonder for a moment in good faith, not to mention patriotism, from the false realists, but their arguments, if adopted, will provide scursor.”

People close to the public prosecutor-who was appointed by Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer, a human rights lawyer and his close friend-confirmed that he did not attack the European Human Rights Convention or suggests the abolition of Article 8, which governs the right to family life and privacy.

Article 8 was severely criticized by the conservatives for stopping them sometimes the deportation of legal and irregular immigrants who were convicted of crimes in the UK.

One of Hermer’s ally said: “The public prosecutor is a strong supporter and enthusiastic of the court and the agreement.” “He does not see any contradiction between this and the reform of strong belief is possible and desirable.”

Last year, Starmer told a meeting of the European political community at the Blenheim Palace that Britain “will never withdraw from the European Conference on Human Rights”, which was signed for the first time in 1950 and was combined into the UK law since 1998.

Critics went out to Hermer as a “fiber lawyer”, accusing him of giving priority to international law for Britain’s national interest in the UK deal to hand over the sovereignty of the Chaghus Islands to Mauritius.

Lord Morris Glassman called in February It must be removed from his positionHe describes it as “the absolute original model of advanced deception, believes the law is an alternative to politics.”

But the announcement of the agreement with Mauritius last week, Starmer said one of the reasons His signature It was to avoid Britain being responsible for the international legal challenge over its control of the Indian Ocean archipelago.

Hermer said on Thursday that the government’s position on treaties was one of the “progressive realism”, a doctrine presented by Foreign Minister David Lami and his team.

He said that the idea that adherence to international law and treaties led to the undermining of national sovereignty was misleading.

Hermer added: “Without an international law, there will be no state sovereignty. Only the vacuum of that word in a world where the boundary mask can explode and every conflict is settled by the power of the powerful.”
