The place of human rights in the foreign policy of Cameron’s conservatives: Sceptics or enthusiasts
The purpose of this article is to explain the place of human rights in the foreign policy thinking of David Cameron’s Conservatives (2005–2016).

Second, did the Conservative Party’s view on the place of human rights result in a change to their approach to foreign policy on humanitarian intervention? Third, to what…
The Conservative Party and Constitutional Reform: Revisiting the Conservative Dilemma through Cameron's Bill of Rights

Unionists as ‘Court Sceptics’: Exploring Elite-Level Unionist Discourses about a Northern Ireland Bill of Rights
One of the most significant characteristics of the peace process in Northern Ireland has been the profound importance attached by a range of academic, political and non-governmental actors to the concept of human rights. However, unionists, more so than other elite-level political actors in Northern Ireland, have expressed scepticism about proposals from the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) for a Northern Ireland Bill of Rights. T…
Profoundly Un‐Conservative? David Cameron and the UK Bill of Rights Debate
This article considers David Cameron's proposal to repeal the Human Rights Act (HRA) and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. Cameron's proposal has been heavily criticised by a range of political, academic and non‐state actors and was described by a current senior Coalition Cabinet member as ‘xenophobic’ and ‘legal nonsense’. This article takes a slightly different direction to those lines of attack and critique that have been developed of …
