The Act incorporates the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK domestic law, enabling individuals to enforce their Convention rights before UK courts rather than being required to petition the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg directly. The HRA came fully into force on 2 October 2000 and applies to all UK public authorities.</p>
