The National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) was formed in the
1930s against a backdrop of fascism and 'popular front' movements.
In this volatile political atmosphere, the aim of the NCCL was to
ensure that civil liberties were a central component of political
discourse. Chris Moores's new study shows how the NCCL - now
Liberty - had to balance the interests of extremist allies with the
desire to become a respectable force campaigning for human rights
and civil liberties. From new social movements of the 1960s and
1970s to the formation of the Human Rights Act in 1998, this study
traces the NCCL's development over the last eighty years. It
enables us to observe shifts and continuities in forms of political
mobilisation throughout the twentieth century, changes in discourse
about extensions and retreats of freedoms, as well as the
theoretical conceptualisation and practical protection of rights
and liberties.
