Rejected petition Before His Majesty gives Assisted Dying Act Assent, declare EU incompatibility
Law that is not compatible with European convention right articles can be returned by a judge to parliament for consideration to be changed or repealed
The Assisted Dying bill clearly is not compatible and will immediately be eligible for return by a judge as unsound law. we need acknowledgement
More details
The European Union ECHR article 2 right to life, the legal book Blackstones guide to the Human Rights Act 1998
1. Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life INTENTIONALLY save in the execution of a sentence of a court of law following his CONVICTION of a CRIME for which this penalty is provided by law"
So there is ZERO civil allowance
Only crime.
Explain to his Majesty King Charles the Third exactly how the legislation voted on is compatible
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that Ministers or the States Assembly is not responsible for.
The Law, as passed, was accompanied by an ECHR compliance statement which is available with the draft Law on the States Assembly website.
We further note that your petition does not ask for a clear action from Jersey’s Ministers/States Assembly.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
