"a valuable resource to the scholar and the graudate student researching the current status of civil rights in the UK."
--British Politics Group Newsletter
"In this well-documented, clearly written study, Jackson . . . shows how humanr rights principles, as contained in the European Convention, have brought 'some measure of accountability to those who exercise power and discretion in the United Kingdom' . . . The result is about as good a study as can be imagined, making a clear argument that a written charter of rights - exemplified by the European Convention - would be appropriate for incorporation into British domestic law. . . . Many international law and human rights specialists will find this important work valuable."
