The European Convention on Human Rights of 1950 established the most effective international system of human rights protection which has yet been invented. This is the first book that gives a comprehensive account of how it came into existence, of the part played in its genesis by the British government, and of its significance for Britain in the period between 1953, when it came into force, and 1966, when Britain accepted the optional provisions providing for a right of individual petition, and the jurisdiction of the Strasbourg Court. It explores in detail the significance of the Convention for Britain as a major colonial power in the declining years of Empire, and particularly in respect of the independent constitutions of colonial territories.

Human Rights Law Review, Vol. 1, No. 2, Autumn 2001 Human Rights and the End of Empire is full of good things. It is well written, with numerous interesting (and provoking) asides and pen portraits of the dramatis personae. It provides an unrivalled narrative of the origins of the Convention and of British official attitudes to human rights in the immediate post-war years, and will be an invaluable aid to anyone wishing to understand the evolution of the European system of human rights protection.

International and Comparative Law Quarterly This is a major book by a master of legal history.

Professor Bernard Porter, TLS a very well written book, based on meticulous scholarship, with a convincing argument, and on a theme of great interest and importance, especially since September 11th.
