Originating from a series of public symposia at Queen Mary and Westfield College, this collection of essays sets out a vision of the future of human rights in the UK. The book seeks to dispel some of the myths about judicial protection of human rights. It examines the practical implications of incorporating the European Convention on human rights into domestic law, assessing the issues confronting the government in enacting a Human Rights Act. It also studies three specific rights: freedom of speech, privacy and freedom of movement, to see how they might develop in the future. The book suggests ways in which the courts' procedures could be improved to promote public interest litigation, especially in human rights cases, thus permitting the hearing of a greater number of important test cases.

Part 1 The protection of human rights in English public law.
Part 2 How to incorporate the European Convention on Human Rights: introduction - the contents of an incorporation act; the purposes of incorporation; the mechanics of incorporation - eligibility to rely on the ECHR, on whom should the incorporation act be binding?, to what extent should the incorporation act be ""entrenched""?, what should the remedies for breach of the CHR under domestic law?, should there be a Human Rights Commission?, should there be a separate constitutional court?; conclusion.
Part 3 Of myth and reality - judges as guardians of human rights: the myth of adequate protection by ""Wednesbury""; unreasonableness; the myth of judicial supremacism; the myth of negative rights.
