1215 – 2015, 800 years of the Magna Carta
Update Conference and Events are pleased to announce the return of our popular Human Rights Conference.
The 15 June 2015 sees the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta. This is undoubtedly a significant milestone in the history of our earliest constitutional document. To mark this milestone join us and take a closer look at the case of Scotland and the legacy the Magna Carta has left us with. Magna Carta - Luck or Judgement? The Middle Temple Lecture series
Throughout the conference there will be discussion on a wide range of human rights issues that are of particular relevance to our society today.
Our expert panel, with Alan Miller SHRC and Anthony Speaight QC, will debate the whether or not the UK should repeal the current European Convention on Human Rights Act 1998 in favour of our own Human Rights Act. What would this mean for Scotland and the profession? - especially when we consider the significant constitutional change happening in Scotland at this moment in time.
Delegates will have the opportunity for in depth discussion with our speakers the issue of children and the police, with particular emphasis on practice and procedures while at police stations. As well as wider conversation on the human rights issues facing Scotland today.
This conference aims to promote greater respect for the importance of human rights by ensuring a better understanding of the extent of the obligations and freedoms deriving from domestic human rights law.
This conference will benefit anyone with an interest in human rights, and constitutional matters.
Delegates can expect to come away with the following:
• An understanding of what the Magna Carta has meant for Scotland and the legacy it has left behind.
• A understanding of the implications of the UK repealing the European Convention Human Rights Act 1998 in favour of its own model and what this would mean for us.
• The issues surrounding Children and the Police and looking at the situations faced while at the police station.
• A better grasp of the current Human Rights Issues facing Scotland today.
