The Future of Human Rights in the United Kingdom: Essays on Law and Practice
Originating in a series of public symposia at Queen Mary and Westfield College, this book of essays sets out a vision of the future of human rights in this country. It will be of interest to non-lawyers as well as to lawyers who are interested in this topical issue.



The book tries to dispel some of the myths about judicial protection of human rights. It examines the practical implications of incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. It also looks at three specific rights: freedom of speech, privacy and freedom of movement to see how they might develop in the future. Finally it suggests ways in which the courts' procedures could be improved to promote public interest litigation, especially in human rights cases, thus permitting the hearing of a greater number of important test cases.
