Tom Blackmore's seasonal blogs offer a uniquely perceptive insight into the historic steps along the road towards the creation of the European Convention on Human Rights through the eyes of its British artisan David Maxwell Fyfe.

They provide the perfect accompaniment to this year's commemorative performances of Sue Casson’s Dreams of Peace & Freedom which follows David's journey from Nuremberg to Strasbourg, remembering how the ECHR was born from the ashes of a decimated Europe and celebrating the protections that have led to 75 years of peace, in this its anniversary year.
