The Law Society and the Bar Council have both suggested that the government's Illegal Migration Bill will break international law by allowing UK ministers to ignore rulings from the European Court of Human Rights.
Richard Atkinson, the deputy vice president of the Law Society, said:"If the UK were to refuse to comply with a European Court of Human Rights ruling this would entail a clear and serious breach of international law."The rule of law means governments respect and follow domestic and international law and disputes are ruled on by independent courts.
Mr Sunak will discuss the reform of the ECtHR - including rule 39 - with the court's president, Siofra O'Leary, during his time in Iceland.
