This is the first of a short series by Tom Blackmore that looks at how the peace was won after the Second World War through the eyes of a Nuremberg prosecutor who went to champion and draft the ECHR. They look forward to commemorative performances of Sue Casson’s Dreams of Peace & Freedom later this year which will remember its birth from the ashes of a decimated Europe and celebrate the protections of the Convention in this its’ 75th anniversary year.
