Synopsis

The passing of the Human Rights Act into English law in October 2000 will mean that Britain will have a Bill of Rights for the first time. The consequences will change not only the legal system but how we think about social responsibilities and individual and collective rights. This accessible introduction guides the reader through the international history of bills of rights and human rights laws. It will be an essential read for anyone wanting to understand the implications of the new moral climate that the Act will create.
