格伦费尔大厦火灾发生两年后，据估计，英国可能有多达20万人生活在存在严重消防安全缺陷的建筑中。其中一些街区是用易燃覆层包裹的，格伦费尔大厦也是如此，但许多街区存在其他已知和未知的消防安全风险，我们只有有限的数据。由于大多数受影响的人只能通过私法获得充分的追索权，人权法能否提供有效的补救途径？本文将说明英国政府未能对高层建筑的建设和翻新(特别是与可燃覆层系统有关的)实施有效的监管制度。然后，它将审议这一失败是否构成持续违反第二条、第三条、第八条和第一条议定书(“A1P1�？《欧洲人权公约》。
Two years on from the Grenfell Tower fire, it is estimated that maybe as many as 200,000 people in the UK are living in buildings with major fire safety defects. Some of these blocks are wrapped in flammable cladding, as was Grenfell Tower, but many blocks have other fire safety risks, both known and unknown, for which we have only limited data. With only inadequate recourse through private law for most of those affected, can human rights law offer an effective avenue for redress? This paper will illustrate the UK government’s failure to implement an effective regulatory system for the building and refurbishment of high-rise buildings (especially in relation to combustible cladding systems). It will then consider whether this failure constitutes an ongoing violation of Articles 2, 3, 8 and Article 1 Protocol No. 1 (“A1P1�?) of the European Convention on Human Rights.
