European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

I say all of this because sometimes we are lashed verbally in the media as a society which has been derelict in the area of human rights. I ask the House to fairly judge over more than 50 years of adherence to the convention, whether this amounts to a record of a society which is highly litigious and legally aware and in which there is an inadequate protection of human rights.
