Background
The UK has signed multiple human rights treaties and legal frameworks and must act accordingly and equally. The Government must ensure consistent enforcement of laws, uphold the right to peaceful protest under human rights law, review arms exports and apply sanctions in line with international treaties, and take action to address tax policies that unfairly benefit large corporations. People have the right to a Government that prioritises human rights, justice, and equality for all.
