HRLA Team
We aim to increase knowledge and understanding of human rights and to aid their effective implementation within the UK legal framework and system of government.
HRLA is a forum for those involved in the law and legal professions to discuss human rights issues. Our principal objective is to protect and promote human rights in the United Kingdom.. We aim to further research, education and training in the areas of human rights law and practice, and facilitate the exchange of views between specialists from different areas of expertise and the wider legal community. The HRLA is an apolitical, specialist lawyers association that deals exclusively with human rights law.
