Abstract The possibility of the United Kingdom being able to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights ( echr or Convention) by way of a denunciation under Article 58(1) of the Convention is complicated by a number of domestic constitutional factors and other international legal obligations. This paper explains how, collectively, these constitute a form of ‘lock in’ to the echr . This makes any future UK withdrawal from the echr highly difficult and liable to cause a range of collateral consequences on the international and domestic legal planes.
