- arethuza 13y agoI was a bit vague on the European Convention on Human Rights - this article from the BBC is quite good: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/948143.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/948143.stm One particularly interesting point: "The UK was one of the first members of the Council of Europe to ratify the Convention when it passed through Parliament in 1951." Indeed, Chruchill seems to have been very keen on the idea - how ironic! http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2009/oct/04/human-rights-act-conservatives http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2009...
