The Conservatives have drawn up plans designed to limit the power of the European Court of Human Rights and to reassert the sovereignty of Parliament.
David Cameron has been presented with the proposals that would mean Parliament decided what constitutes a breach of human rights.
Strasbourg rulings on issues like votes for prisoners have angered many Tories.
Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, sacked in the reshuffle, is thought to have warned against the planned change.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said a report written by a working group of Conservative lawyers predicts the so-called British Bill of Rights could force changes in the way the Strasbourg court operates.
AnalysisBy Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor
Who will rid me of this troublesome court?
That's the question David Cameron badly wants an answer to before the next election.
But it also acknowledges that it could lead to the UK being expelled from the 47-member Council of Europe, which aims to uphold human rights across the continent.
Mr Grieve had warned his colleagues that the idea was a plan for "a legal car crash with a built-in time delay", our correspondent said.
The former Attorney General argued that it was an "incoherent" policy to remain a signatory to the European Convention of Human Rights but to refuse to recognise the rulings of the court which enforces it.
'Sense of direction'The battle to deport radical cleric Abu Qatada and attempts to remove foreign criminals have also led to clashes between ministers and the Strasbourg-based court.
In 2012, Mr Cameron warned that the concept of human rights was being "distorted" and "discredited" by controversial decisions in Europe.
Nick Robinson said Downing Street had said no final decision had been taken, but he understood it was planned as a centre-piece of David Cameron's Conservative Party conference speech this autumn.
The Conservatives cannot act in this Parliament as their Liberal Democrat coalition partners are strongly committed to the convention.
Conservative Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "We will produce our full package in due course but ahead of the election and in time for our election manifesto.
"We will curtail the role of the European Convention on Human Rights in the UK. We will replace Labour's Human Rights Act (enshrining the convention in British law).
"We will have a balance of rights and responsibilities in our law , which I think is very important, and we will have a Supreme Court that is supreme. That gives a very clear sense of direction, of the big change which is what I think we need."
Justice Minister Simon Hughes, a Liberal Democrat, said he did not know the full details of what was being proposed by the Conservatives but he cautioned against withdrawal from the European convention, which he said set a "European-wide standard" for human rights.
"If we don't have the highest standards then how can we go to turn to Russia or Ukraine and say 'you must uphold human rights'? We have to have the highest standards," he told the BBC News channel.
