This is so sad.
Lord Kerr was UK’s longest-serving supreme court justice & ad hoc ECtHR judge.
He was a real friend of human rights. Always speaking out for rule of law and the need for independent judiciary. He will be missed.
Thoughts with his family. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55143670

There is lots that Lord Kerr wrote and said that we (and the govt!) can learn from. This defence of the HRA is from just a few weeks ago.
“It’s parliament which has said to judges, ‘Please look at this law and tell us if it’s compatible with the ECHR.’” https://www.theguardian.com/law/2020/oct/19/uk-needs-judges-to-limit-government-power-says-lord-kerr
