The Joint Committee on Human Rights has launched an inquiry into the human rights implications of Brexit. The three issues of particular interest to the Committee are:
- Privacy and family life What is the potential impact of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects privacy and family life, on EU nationals living in the UK and UK nationals living in other EU Member states in terms of their right to stay? For example, if current residence rights are not respected, issues could arise where EU nationals are married to British citizens, or where there is a genuine and subsisting relationship between a parent and child.
