...ba href=/anxiety/a/b about threats to security.

No politician wants to be labelled as “soft” on security.

So the political process is willing to compromise on basic rights and on the rule of law so as to convey the impression that politicians are seen as tough on terrorism.

In the result, statute law may override common law protection of fundamental rights and basic elements of the rule of law.

This willingness to compromise on basic rights is not confined to threats to security, where the justification may seem stronger.

Such a situation may happen infrequently but the fact that it can happen was enough to persuade the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and New Zealand to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, either by constitutionally-entrenched guarantees or statute.

The main arguments for a Bill of Rights are - it would bring Australia into line with the rest of the world; and - it would protect basic individual rights from interference by political (legislative and executive) interference.

"In the end, Pakistan and India looked over the abyss, saw starkly that they simply couldn't start another conventional war, where it might lead and pulled back," Mr.

Straw said.

Mr.

Straw admitted Britain's historical failings in its two former colonies.

But he also underscored the importance of diplomacy, at a time when the international community is struggling to engage with Iran over its disputed nuclear programme.

The benefits for the whole world from having British and the U.S.

diplomats on the ground in India and Pakistan four years ago was huge, Mr.

Straw said.

If "people ever say to you: `What is a diplomat for,' say a diplomat is partly for stopping wars and if you want to know about a war that diplomats stopped, British and American diplomats, yes, backed by their secretaries of state, stopped a war," he said.
