Ministers have called on the UK Government to listen to evidence from civil society and the legal profession and reverse its proposals.


The UK Government is currently consulting on plans to replace the Human Rights Act with a Bill of Rights, despite its own Independent Review of Human Rights finding no good case for making significant changes.


The joint call comes ahead of an event later today organised by the Human Rights Consortium in Northern Ireland, the Human Rights Consortium Scotland and the Wales Civil Society Forum. The event will have contributions from devolved governments and civil society experts from across the UK.


In a joint statement, Ministers from the Scottish and Welsh Governments said:



> “We have grave and deep\-seated concerns in relation to both the current proposals and the UK Government’s longer\-term direction of travel.
> 
> 
> “The Human Rights Act plays a critically important role in protecting fundamental human rights across the whole of the United Kingdom. For more than two decades it has benefitted individual members of society and ensured public institutions respect, protect and fulfil human rights.
> 
> 
> “The achievements made possible by the Act encompass everything from action on women’s equality to the protection of free speech and the right to protest. It has assisted the families of service personnel to obtain justice when their rights were breached, helped secure equality on issues for LGBTQ\+ people, and ensured scandals involving medical malpractice and the abuse of vulnerable patients could be publicly exposed, and supported people to challenge unfair welfare policies such as the bedroom tax.
> 
> 
> "The Act has also been of central importance in the fight for justice following the Hillsborough disaster, and the successful challenge brought by victims of the ‘black cab rapist’ in the face of serious failings by the Metropolitan Police. And it is sobering to reflect on how a weakened Human Rights Act could have led to the deportation of yet more members of the Windrush generation.
> 
> 
> “The Independent Human Rights Act Review concluded there was no good case for making significant changes to the Act as it currently exists based on the extensive evidence it received from some of the United Kingdom’s most eminent legal experts. Disregarding that weight of evidence and expertise to press ahead with plans can only be interpreted as an ideologically motivated attack on the freedoms and liberties protected by the Human Rights Act.
> 
> 
> “The proposals for a ‘modern Bill of Rights’ are both unwelcome and unnecessary. We are very clear that the interests of people in Scotland and Wales are best protected by retaining the Human Rights Act in its current form.”

Mae Gweinidogion wedi galw ar Lywodraeth y DU i wrando ar dystiolaeth cymdeithas sifil a’r proffesiwn cyfreithiol a thynnu ei chynigion yn ôl.


Ar hyn o bryd, mae Llywodraeth y DU wrthi’n ymgynghori ar gynlluniau i ddisodli’r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol â Bil Hawliau, er gwaethaf y ffaith bod ei Hadolygiad Annibynnol ei hun o’r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol wedi methu â dod o hyd i reswm da dros wneud newidiadau sylweddol.


Daw’r alwad gan y ddwy wlad cyn digwyddiad yn nes ymlaen heddiw a drefnwyd gan Gonsortiwm Hawliau Dynol Gogledd Iwerddon, Consortiwm Hawliau Dynol yr Alban a Fforwm Cymdeithas Sifil Cymru. Bydd llywodraethau datganoledig ac arbenigwyr cymdeithas sifil ledled y DU yn cyfrannu at y digwyddiad.


Mewn datganiad ar y cyd, dywedodd Gweinidogion o Lywodraethau Cymru a’r Alban:



> “Mae gennym bryderon difrifol a dwfn ynghylch y cynigion presennol ac ynghylch trywydd Llywodraeth y DU yn y tymor hirach 
> 
> 
> “Mae’r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol yn chwarae rôl hanfodol bwysig o ran diogelu hawliau dynol sylfaenol ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Ers mwy na dau ddegawd, mae wedi sicrhau manteision i aelodau unigol o gymdeithas ac wedi gofalu bod cyrff cyhoeddus yn parchu, yn diogelu ac yn gweithredu hawliau dynol.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r hyn a gyflawnir yn sgil y Ddeddf yn cwmpasu popeth o weithredu ynghylch cydraddoldeb i fenywod i ddiogelu rhyddid mynegiant a’r hawl i brotestio. Mae wedi helpu teuluoedd y lluoedd arfog i sicrhau cyfiawnder pan na chawsant eu hawliau, mae wedi helpu i sicrhau cydraddoldeb i bobl LHDTC\+, a gofalu bod sgandalau ynghylch esgeulustod meddygol a cham\-drin cleifion a oedd yn agored i niwed yn cael eu dadlennu i’r cyhoedd. Mae hefyd wedi helpu pobl i herio polisïau lles annheg megis treth ystafell wely.
> 
> 
> "Mae’r Ddeddf wedi bod yn gwbl ganolog hefyd yn y frwydr dros gyfiawnder yn dilyn trychineb Hillsborough, ac wrth i ddioddefwyr y ‘treisiwr cab du’ herio’n llwyddiannus fethiannau difrifol yr Heddlu Metropolitanaidd. Ac mae’n sobreiddiol ystyried sut y gallai Deddf Hawliau Dynol wannach fod wedi arwain at anfon mwy byth o genhedlaeth Windrush o’r wlad.
> 
> 
> “Daeth yr Adolygiad Annibynnol o’r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol i’r casgliad nad oedd rheswm da dros wneud newidiadau sylweddol i’r Ddeddf fel y mae ar hyn o bryd, ar sail y dystiolaeth helaeth gan rai o arbenigwyr cyfreithiol amlycaf y Deyrnas Unedig. Gellir ond dehongli penderfyniad i ddiystyru’r swmp hwnnw o dystiolaeth ac arbenigedd i fwrw ymlaen â chynlluniau fel ymosodiad ar y rhyddid a ddiogelir gan y Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol ar sail ideoleg.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r cynigion ar gyfer ‘Bil Hawliau modern’ yn annerbyniol ac yn ddiangen. Rydym yn glir iawn ar y ffaith mai cadw’r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol ar ei ffurf bresennol sy’n diogelu buddiannau pobl Cymru a’r Alban yn y ffordd orau.”
