      • The Act cannot overturn primary legislation in parliament.
      • The Act can be 'set aside' by government, as what happened with the derogation of the rights of terror suspects after 9/11.
    • YES
      • Rights are clearly enshrined in statute law.
      • Legislationhas to comply with the Human Rights Act.
      • Citizens can access rights protection through UK-based courts.
