Most countries have a Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is usually binding on any subsequent legislation. The European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into British law by the Human Rights Act 1998,came into effect on the 2nd of October 2000. This is regarded by many, including Charter88, as a good first step towards a Bill of Rights. This section of Citizen21 points to resources, links and events relevant to a Bill of Rights.
