The British government is committed to scrapping the Human Rights Act and replacing it with a "British Bill of Rights," said new Lord Chancellor Liz Truss. She said that the Bill of Rights would go forward taking into consideration critics who fear that the conservative government wants to cut back on citizens’ human rights protections. Human rights groups say the Human Rights Act is needed now more than ever, citing widespread division and uncertainty in post-Brexit Britain. They call for explicit core human rights guarantees instead of a "pick-and-mix" bill by civil servants and politicians.
