1998 İngiliz İnsan Hakları Yasası, Birleşik Krallık’ta yürürlükte olan önemli bir ulusal insan hakkı koruma mekanizmasıdır. İnsan Hakları Yasasının ortaya çıkışındaki önemli sebeplerden biri İngiliz insan hakları hukukunda “berraklaşma”nın sağlanmasıdır. Bir diğer sebep ise Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi’nin hazırlanmasında önemli katkısı olan Birleşik Krallık’ta, insan haklarının korunması için ulusal bir koruma yolu öngörülmemesi dolayısıyla devletin “zor durumda” kalmasıdır. Zira Birleşik Krallık’ta Sözleşme hükümlerinin ihlâli söz konusu olur ise bu ihlalden kaynaklanan uyuşmazlıkların çözümü için Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’ne başvurulması zorunluluk arz etmektedir. İnsan Hakları Yasası’nın hazırlanmasındaki önemli etkenlerden biri de husus olmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler

NATIONAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS: THE CASE OF THE 1998 BRITISH HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

Öz

The 1998 British Human Rights Act is an important national human rights protection mechanism in the United Kingdom. One of the main motivations for the Human Rights Act was to "clarify" human rights law. Another point is that the United Kingdom, which contributed significantly to the drafting of the European Convention on Human Rights, was in a "difficult position" because the Convention had not been a full part of the UK legal system for a long time. This is because disputes arising from breaches of the provisions of the Convention must be referred to the European Court of Human Rights for resolution. This was an important factor in the drafting of the Human Rights Act.

Anahtar Kelimeler
