• Resumen

  • This article explores the ways in and routes through which European human rights norms (Convention Rights) have had some shaping effect on United Kingdom counter-terror powers since 9/11. It considers decisions of the European Court of Human Rights inGillan v. United Kingdom,A and Others v. United Kingdom, Othman (Abu Qatada) v. United Kingdom and Babar Ahmad and Others v. United Kingdom, as well as a range of United Kingdom court decisions on control orders and deportation with assurances. In doing so, it casts light on a developing but still fragile human rights' culture in the United Kingdom and identifies European human rights norms as at their most influential when in line with other political imperatives.
