Abstract
The project involved a study of British civil rights laws and practices in the context of European human rights law as embodied in the Convention on Human Rights and enforced by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Over the years, Britain has often found itself chastised for failing to comply with both the spirit and letter of the law, which raises the obvious question: why would the world’s most mature democracy have difficulty complying with these rules?
