The European Court of Human Rights and domestic Human Rights Act face ongoing political and media attack in the UK. A draft law in parliament would widen use of secret hearings in civil courts on national security grounds, undermining accountability for UK officials accused of abuse. The government halted an inquiry into UK complicity in overseas rendition and torture, after new evidence of UK involvement in rendition to torture in Gadaffi-era Libya triggered criminal investigations. Nongovernmental organizations had boycotted the inquiry over lack of transparency and independence. A promised second inquiry has yet to begin.
