However, this reform of the judiciary had formed conflicts between the government ministers and the judiciary due to several reasons. These included the risk of citizens’ rights as a result of the increasing political role of the judiciary. Some even suggest that judicial power has become controversial due to its increasing political importance. However, the main reason for this conflict between the executive and judiciary can be said to be the Constitutional Reform Act (2005) and the Human Rights Act (2000). The Constitutional Reform Act was intended to represent a separation from the traditional “fusion” model of the UK Constitution and towards a “more explicit separation of powers”, The Relations between the executive and judiciary would therefore be governed by the Act itself.

President Harry S. Truman was not only involved in foreign affairs, but also in domestic concerns. “The Cold War caused a shift in thinking and tactics among civil rights groups.” After President Truman’s speech about freedom, minorities all over America started to think in different ways about their own civil rights, and used the Cold War towards their advantage, bringing up that racial inequality will damage and obscure America’s image of freedom, which would be beneficial for the Soviet Union. Because of this, Truman decided to enforce policies that called for more devotion to civil rights, and therefore improving the image of America. However, minute amounts of change came from these policies that Truman input, and most of these laws were enforced or given little attention. Nevertheless, although these civil right policies did not get much responsiveness during this period of time, time would show that this was only fleeting and there would soon be a civil rights revolution, which would once again, give a new meaning to America’s definition of
P1 – Describe the key international organisations and their impact on the UK public services. M1 – Analyse how decisions made by international institutions affect the operation of UK public services. Write a report – As a human rights representative in the public services, you have been asked to put together information about a range of international institutions. International organisations are institutions that play a role in matters such as defence, human rights and economics. The organisations that will be researched are: * The United Nations * The European Union * The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation * Greenpeace * Amnesty International * Liberty The United Nations History The United Nations was established in 1945; however it is often argued that it was established before this with the establishment of the League of Nations in 1919.
International Institutions - This got both merit and distinction guys so go wild x M2: Analyse the role of the UK in upholding international human rights The UK armed forces play a vital role in upholding international human rights by participating in key roles such as, Humanitarian Aid Programmes, Disaster Relief, Peacekeeping, Reconstruction and sending in troops in times of war and conflict. In times of natural disasters, the UK armed forces play a huge role in providing humanitarian aid. This means that they assist in providing food, water, shelter, medical supplies and medical personnel to places struck and affected by natural disasters, such as the Asian tsunami of 2004. This natural disaster caused major damage and fatalities
Humanitarian intervention and the spread of human rights can be recognised as progressively challenging the nation based order of the order and adjusting it to embrace universal values and individual human rights. The international realm has persisted to stress the significance of non-intervention, however, it is arguable that military involvement must be legalised in disregarding the sovereignty rule in cases where states have succumbed to civil disorder or when a regime massively infringes its citizen’s rights. As the United Nations prohibits war, excluding self-defence and united action with the approval of the United Nations Security Council, humanitarian intervention produces major dilemmas for the international realm which is established on nation rights such as sovereignty, self rule and the rights to non use of force. Presumably, sovereign nations behave as defenders of their civilian’s protection, however, many human rights activists assert that nations are allowed to act aggressively towards their own population, regarding sovereignty as their authorisation for abuse. Spurring vigorous debate among theorists is the issue as to whether totalitarian nations should be acknowledged as genuine member of the international community and provided with the protection of the non intervention standard, or whether they have forfeited their sovereign rights and ought to be exposed to legitimate intervention.
The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 remains to have significant influence across every nation. Sovereigns upon this international stage have adopted this political order as part of their foreign policy. Initially established by President James Monroe, it has become a longstanding presence within the United States foreign policy over the years. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to secure the “continents” of the United States from outside threats; more importantly, from any further advancement of the European nation. As a young nation maturing into a respected power, the United States, a spectator society as it were, would ideally police and protect their “brethren republics” of Latin America and other nations within the Western
Human Rights have been a contentious issue on the international political stage for hundreds of years, and have been even more hotly debated in modern international politics since the conception of the United Nations in 1945 (Taylor 2001). The nature of human rights is very subjective, and opinions differ widely, based upon a number of variables, least of all the cultural norms of the society in question. There are a number of different views that can be taken in regard to human rights, and some are of the opinion that Human Rights are an expression of western imperialism (Bricmont 2006). This essay will critically evaluate the claim that human rights are an expression of western imperialism and present evidence that shows human rights do exist in their own right, however, are commonly used by western imperialists as a front for other ventures (Bricmont 2006). Human rights have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and have a very dynamic definition that has developed from the perspective of 18th century enlightenment thinkers.
The wide body of Convention law, as well as decisions of the domestic courts of other states which have incorporated the Convention, now becomes an integral part of UK legal system .It has been said that this was one of the most significant changes to Britain’s legal system since the Magna Carta (1215). The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 1950 (the Convention) prescribes a number of rights considered by the contracting States to be, in the words of the Preamble, “fundamental freedoms”. The original Convention, in arts 2 to 14, protects the rights to life, freedom from
