The Origins of the Human Rights Act
This article reconstructs the first initiatives for a British Bill of Rights from the late 1960s to the mid‐1980s and argues that their failure shaped the eventual form of the Human Rights Act. Proposals for a Bill of Rights emerged across the political spectrum, but commanded most support on the right as a means of restraining trade unions and socialist legislation. While some advocates supported the entrenchment of a distinctively British instr…
The European Court of Human Rights, pressure-group politics, and the abolition of corporal punishment in British state schools, 1977–1986
Eva-Maria Muschik. Building States
Human Rights at the Edges of Late Imperial Britain
In Tyrer v. United Kingdom (1978), the European Court of Human of Human Rights ruled that judicial corporal punishment contravened Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which proscribed “degrading treatment or punishment.” The case unfolded at a formative moment in British legal activism, as left-wing civil-liberties lawyers who had been wary of human rights discourse began taking cases to Strasbourg. The case also involved tactic…
The Conservative Human Rights Revolution
This book reconsiders the origins of the European human rights system, arguing that its conservative inventors, foremost among them Winston Churchill, conceived of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as a means of realizing a controversial political agenda and advancing a Christian vision of European identity.
Geschwister, rettet uns Geschwister“ love between siblings as a religious issue from Euripides’s Iphigenia Taurica to Goethe’s Iphigenie auf Tauris
This article compares Euripides’s Iphigenia Taurica with Goethe’s Iphigenie auf Tauris , and investigates how the theme of love between siblings is related to the religious issue in both tragedies. I firstly analyze how, in the Euripidean tragedy, the value of familial love can connect the two worlds of gods and humans, thanks to the parallel between the human (Iphigenia and Orestes) and the divine couple of siblings (Artemis and Apollo). By shar…
Holocaust Memory and the Silences of the Human Rights Revolution
Schweigen
Wovon man nicht reden kann, darüber muss man schweigen« – so Wittgensteins berühmtes Diktum. Gewöhnlich fasst man das »Worüber« des Schweigens im mystischen Sinne auf: als das, was jenseits des menschlichem Erkennen Zugänglichen und mit sprachlichen Mitteln Artikulierbaren liegt. Man kann aber auch an das Jenseits des Kommunizierbaren denken, was durchaus erkennbar ist, aber sich jeder Mitteilung versperrt: weil es niemand gern hören, weil es der…
The Holocaust, the legacy of 1789 and the birth of international human rights law
This study revisits the place of the Holocaust and the French revolutionary tradition in the birth of international human rights law, with particular reference to the genesis of the Universal Declaration and European Convention. It argues against conceptualizing the drafting of the Universal Declaration as an exceptional moment of Holocaust remembrance in the immediate aftermath of the war, positing instead that the framers' silence on the Jewish…
Utopia, Nostalgia and World War at the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair
This article explores the shift from the utopian theme of the 1939 New York World's Fair to the nostalgic theme of the 1940 New York World's Fair. It argues that both seasons offered narratives intended to neutralize the disturbing implications of world war in Europe. The World of Tomorrow theme, conceived in the mid-1930s, represented an attempt to reconstitute a national narrative of progress shattered by a traumatic past experience (the Great …
