the rights are subject to provisos on the basis of public order, public security and the need to guard the freedom of others. The Conven- tion is upheld in the EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS. The law now applies in the UK as a result of the Scotland Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998 (from October 2000). Accordingly, decisions of the Court will now be influential and in due course applicable in the UK. Recent examples involving the UK are on peaceful protest (Steel and Others v. UK [1998] TLR 575); on the right to the privacy of one's home (McLeod v. UK [1998] TLR 577); chastisement of children as an aspect of cruel or degrading punishment (A. v. UK [1998] TLR 578); on freedom of association (Ahmed and Others v. UK [1998] TLR 581); on the right to a fair hearing in court (Osman v. UK [1998] TLR 681).
