The Conservatives have threatened to pull Britain out of the European Court of Human Rights unless UK courts can have the final say over rulings made in Strasbourg, the party has announced.
Labour warn that scrapping the Human Rights Act would put the UK on a par with Belarus, Europe's last remaining dictatorship.
The former Attorney General has rubbished plans by the Conservative Party to strip the European court of their power to enforce human rights in the UK.
Dominic Grieve QC slammed proposals by the current attorney Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, saying that they contained a series of "howlers" and were not properly thought through and that there was already plans in motion to reform the European Court of Human Rights in Strausbourg.
"All courts are ultimately human constructs and they will sometimes get things right and sometimes get things wrong," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"In many cases there is a misunderstanding of what the court does.
Even the paper which has just been produced by my colleague Chris Grayling includes in it a number of howlers which are simply factually inaccurate.
One howler is...where it says that the court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has prevented the imposition of whole life tariffs on whole life tariff prisoners in this country.
It hasn't. Its judgment never said that."
Mr Grieve added: "It seems to me it is factually inaccurate in what it says, and that is unfortunate.
Because if one is going to approach a complex subject I think it is very important that we should all collectively adopt a moderate and measured approach towards explaining what the issues are and what can and cannot be done."
