Summary
  1. Over the past two decades human rights have come to play a central role in both international law and in the domestic constitutional arrangements of nation-states. The United Kingdom was one of the last countries in western Europe to embrace human rights law, but under the Human Rights Act 1998 the UK too has formally incorporated ideas of human rights into the heart of its constitutional system. There are, however, considerable doubts about the desirability of these developments - this collection of essays explores these reservations and considers how they may be taken into account in the implementation and use which is now to be made of human rights law both in the UK and elsewhere.
