If my memory is reliable, I seem to recall that when this whole 'human rights' badwaggon began to roll in Europe during the 1950s, the French government saw more clearly than our own that such legislation would cause serious difficulties if it applied to their Armed Forces. The French therefore specificaly excluded their Forces from the legislation. Am I right? (Any lawyers out there able to comment?)If I am right, then one wonders whether it might still be possible for our own wet politicians to renegotiate the human rights obigations, but this time exclude the Forces, the Police and so on? What a load of unecessary nonsence that would save us. John Purdey.
