This book was released on 1994 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two distinct aims. First, to examine those changes in British law since 1950 which have had an impact on the civil and political rights of the individual, and secondly, to set those changes in the context of European and international human rights law. It concentrates on those rights which are broadly defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), and includes discussion of such major issues as prisoners' rights, police powers, due process, privacy, freedom of association, assembly, and speech, minority rights, immigration and nationality, racial discrimination, women's and children's rights, and sexual orientation. The choice of topics is solidly grounded in the perspective of the international and European conventions and is not determined solely by current political debate or topicality. As such it provides a stimulating study of interest to practitioners and academics alike, and also a scholarly basis for further research for advanced students.

Book excerpt: "It presents an alternative perspective on the end of Empire by focusing upon one aspect of constitutional decolonization and the importance of the local legal culture in determining each dependency's constitutional settlement, and provides a series of empirical case studies on the incorporation of human rights instruments into domestic constitutions when negotiated between a state and its dependencies. More generally this book highlights Britain's human rights legacy to its former Empire."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a developing body of legal reasoning in the United Kingdom Supreme Court in which members of the senior judiciary have asserted the primary role of common law constitutional rights and critiqued legal arguments based first and foremost on the Human Rights Act 1998. Their calls for a shift in legal reasoning have created a sense amongst both scholars and the judiciary that something significant is happening. Yet despite renewed academic and judicial interest we have limited insight into what common law constitutional rights we have, how they work and what they offer. This book is the first collection of its kind to systematically explore both the content and role of individual common law constitutional rights alongside the constitutional significance and broader implications of these developments. It therefore contributes not only to our understanding of what the common law might be capable of offering in terms of the protection of rights, but also to our understanding of the nature of the constitutional order of which such rights are an integral part.
