Renounce European Court, Britain urged
Britain should turn its back on the European Court of Human Rights because its rulings on the extradition of terrorist suspects risk undermining the special relationship, a former US ambassador said.
The court will rule on whether six men, including Abu Hamza, should be extradited on terrorism charges to the US.

John Bolton, the American ambassador to the UN under George Bush, said: “Britain should renounce the jurisdiction of this court. It’s a question of what do British people want to do? Do you want to be an independent nation, or do you want to be a county in Europe?

“This is just another example of Britain’s mistake in allowing European institutions to develop to the extent they have. It is yet another infringement on British sovereignty that undercuts its ability to cooperate with the United States.

“It also calls into question the ability of Europe as a whole to be an effective partner in the war against terrorism.”

Estimates obtained by The Daily Telegraph suggest that it has cost the taxpayer £2.6 million to keep the six men in high-security jails. A further £1.5 million is estimated to have been spent on legal costs, including legal aid for the men, and thousands more on benefit claims for their families.
