The EU is to take UK to the European Court of Human rights over violations of  EU Citizens rights.After UK left the union.  Good job the UK stayed within the  ECHR ...Then.

[gulliver1]

In some cases . EU Citizens living legal in the UK were refused entry back into the UK after going on holiday or to see friends and family in the EU.

[New Judge]

"The EU is to take UK to the European Court of Human rights over violations of  EU Citizens rights."

Incorrect.

The proposal is to take action in the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The ECJ is the court the EU uses to settle disputes about its treaties. Its jurisdiction over concepts of EU law that arise over the interpretation and application of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) lasts as long as aspects of the WA remain in operation. In the case of Part 2 of the WA on citizens’ rights, this is as long as EU citizens and UK nationals covered by Part 2 remain alive. 

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) adjudicates on alleged transgressions of the European Convention on Human Rights. It has nothing to do with tthe ECJ (and vice versa).

This threatened action arises from alleged breaches of the WA and not from alleged contravention of Human Rights so whether or not the UK remained signatories to the ECHR is completely irrelevant.

they have every right to do so. 

[New Judge]

"they have every right to do so. "

Indeed they do. And that's the fault of those who signed the Withdrawal Agreement.

But it's important to get it right. The OP gives the impression that had the UK withdrawn from the ECHR this would not have been possible. That's incorrect.

Once again New Judge is spot on.

Will this move by the EU ,delay Starmers attempt to take the UK back into the EU ..I don't think so. I think the Brits have realised what a mistake it was to leave the EU.

[New Judge]

What move are you talking about? The one you suggested (which is incorrect) or the one I have explained (which is not)?

 

[gulliver1]

New Judge 13.21. I have to admit NJ is quite correct with ECJ and not ECHR. It must have been a none deliberate Typo error.

[New Judge]

In that case it will make no difference.

If the UK government has broken the terms of the ridiculous agreement they signed that should be addressed. 

The current government may make a few agreements with the EU for reasons best known to them. But they will be revoked with the return of a  proper government.

When's your case coming up then, Gulli?

[Old_Geezer]

Have we not dumped the ECJ too then ? Or are those being indicted NI citizens ?
