Reflection on skills developed in the module

Written Assignment

<p>This module critically explores the Human Rights Act 1998 and its implications for society today.  It focuses on post-colonial critiques of human rights and the role of human rights as a tool of liberation. The Human Rights Act 1998 has defied its critics and has matured into an essential aspect of the UK’s legal landscape.You will learn by being involved in practical debates about Human Rights and the 1998 Act, such as the application of human rights to British armed forces overseas, and debates as to the future and whether it is important to have a Human Rights Act, what its future legal status should be, or whether it should be repealed.</p>
