The meeting was also attended by Sturla Sigurjónsson, Icelandic Ambassador to the UK, and Róbert Spanó, former President of the European Court of Human Rights.

The impact of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Court of Justice’s judgments on the rights of both countries was discussed at a meeting with the judges of both courts.

Both countries have given the Charter of Human Rights legality, which was done in the UK by the Human Rights Act of 1998. The Act states that British law should be interpreted in accordance with the Charter, as well as the Court of Human Rights’ ruling. However, there has not been a written constitution in the UK, so the Charter of Human Rights does not have the same status as in Iceland after the Human Rights chapter of the constitution was revised in 1995 to ensure its consistency with international obligations.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom was established in 2009 and the Supreme Court of the People was previously appointed by the House of Lords of the United Kingdom.

The film was shot on this occasion.
