[5] [6] [7] In 2021,he wrote in The Times in defence of then Justice Secretary Dominic Raab's plan to remove the European Convention of Human Rights from UK law and replace it with a British Bill of Rights,which would provide the same protections,saying it would provide more democratic legitimacy than jurisprudence emanating from the European Court of Human Rights and human rights academics.

In 2022,following the capture by Russian forces of British-born Ukrainian soldiers Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner during the Russian invasion of Ukraine,Tettenborn commented that the statement Aslin and Pinner were fighting illegally in the country –by Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis and Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry –could be used by Russian forces to justify an atrocity against the soldiers. Tettenborn said that it was incorrect as a matter of international law to say the two were fighting in the country illegally. Later,the Prime Minister's spokesperson said that the British government does not consider the pair to have being fighting illegally in the war. [12] [13]
