I was a bit vague on the European Convention on Human Rights - this article from the BBC is quite good:

One particularly interesting point:
"The UK was one of the first members of the Council of Europe to ratify the Convention when it passed through Parliament in 1951."
Indeed, Chruchill seems to have been very keen on the idea - how ironic!
