UK Surveillance Regime Violated Human Rights

I suspect this is a pattern when it comes to spying and internet surveillance now. Don't expect the NSA's activities would be in accordance to many human rights laws, and likely similar for other 'Five Eyes' countries and countries trying to snoop on internet traffic in general.

The issue is that there seems to be no organisation with the power to enforce said rules on the countries/governments/organisations doing this.

Is that not the role of the public/voters? Assuming they are informed and not apathetic of course.

Both parties in the UK are broadly pro surveillance, and since it's FPTP you're damned if you do, or don't.
