The Human Rights Act 1998 is controversial because it incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, which some argue undermines parliamentary sovereignty and allows for judicial overreach. Critics believe it can lead to unintended consequences, such as protecting individuals who pose a threat to society. Conversely, supporters emphasize its importance in safeguarding fundamental rights and freedoms, ensuring accountability for public authorities, and providing a legal framework for justice. The debate surrounding the Act reflects broader tensions between individual rights and state interests.

Is the Declaration of Human Rights an international law?
I don't think so. It acts more as a guideline for how human rights legislation should be. For instance in the United States the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution are the Bill of Rights. They set out what rights an American citizen is entitled to. And here in the United Kingdom we have the Human Rights Act (1998). Check out the Bill of Rights and the Human Rights Act for more information.
