Human Rights

What the page covers

Much of this unit follows the European Convention on Human Rights. The flashcard deck (Articles) Freedom of Person runs through Articles 2, 3 and 5, including the right to life and the sub-parts of Article 5. The mind map Article 2: Right to Life adds case detail, such as Stewart v UK and the test of absolute necessity.

Other maps cover Article 6: Right to a fair trial and Open Justice and Human Rights. Privacy and expression have their own material, including What is Privacy? and Article 10 and Contempt of Court.

Where to start

1. Begin with ECHR and it's background or The Human Rights Act (1998) to get the framework.
2. Move to the article-by-article maps and decks, such as ARTICLE 3 and Freedom of Person.
3. Use Declaration of Incompatibility and HR vs Parl. Sov. to see how rights meet parliamentary sovereignty.

Beyond the Convention

The page also reaches wider. There are maps on Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Exclusion from Refugee Protection and Protected Characteristics. The deck The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms offers a comparison. For school students, MOD 2 HUMAN RIGHTS - HSC LEGAL STUDIES covers the UDHR and the 1966 Covenant. Other resources mention A-level Law and the BPTC.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then take the *Human Rights Law* quiz without notes. Note the points you missed and go back to the matching map or deck. Cases such as Airey v Ireland or the Begum question maps work well as recall prompts: cover the map and say the facts aloud.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Public Law strand of Law (general and introduction). Every resource was made by GoConqr users, so styles vary. Pick one that suits your course, and try adding your own flashcards for gaps you spot.
