188 Values and Civil and Political Liberties Prevention of Terrorism in British Law, (Manchester University Press, 1986). 43 Third Periodic Report ... to the Human Rights Committee, p. 12. The figures are derived from pp. 9 and 11 of the Report. 44 Since writing this the Woolf Report has become available. See Cm. 1456, Prison disturbances April 1990: Report of an inquiry by the Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Woolf [parts 1 and 2] and his Honour fudge Stephen Tumim [part 2], H.M.S.O., (London, 1991). 45 See P. A. Thomas, "HIV/Aids in Prison" (1990) The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, Vol. 29, No. 1, at pp. 1-13. 46 See P. English, "Prisoners' Rights: Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?" in Fundamental Rights, J. W. Bridge and Others, ed., (Sweet and Maxwell, 1973), pp. 201-218. 47 These complex issues and their background are well covered by J. S.

She was applying the Court of Appeal's decision in C. v. C. (A minor) [1991] 1 F.L.R. 223. The Court of Appeal had held that the fact that a mother had a lesbian relationship did not of itself render her unfit to have the care and control of her child. It was, however, an important factor to be taken into account, having regard to the fact that in present-day society it was still a normally held view that the ideal environment for a child was the home of caring parents and that a lesbian relationship was an unusual background in which to bring up a child, likely to cause problems to her outside the home. The balance had to be struck taking account of such a fact. 49 I do not claim to be a great mind thinking like the marketing adviser to a political party, but I had written this before the teachers' cliche in the second half of the sentence was adopted as a political slogan to describe the present government's record.
4. People and Education for Human Rights Recapitulation In earlier Lectures I showed how the United Kingdom and her erstwhile colonies, as a result of the interaction of human thinking and historical events, contributed to the development of concepts and theories of human rights and to institutional practices protecting human legal rights. Those thoughts and practices in turn assisted in the development of a universal international legal ethic of human rights, irrespective of whether the concept of human rights could be philosophically or anthropologically underpinned. This international legal ethic with its agreed standards has been feeding back to the United Kingdom, reinforcing internal conceptions and practices regarding human rights, reminding us of our traditions. In explaining this I demonstrated the psychological effects of engaging in rights-talk and linkages between legal rights, moral or human rights and 189
