Who Wrote the ECHR?

[AB Editor]

I've seen it quoted that a British MP was the first to draft the ECHR.

I've had a quick look around and I can't see his name mentioned anywhere. So I wondered if anyone knew what the name of the man who wrote the European Convention of Human Rights is?

If you're interested in the actual document, if can be found here: http://www.echr.coe.i...ONVENTION_ENG_WEB.pdf

Thanks in advance,

British MP and lawyer Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, the Chair of the Assembly's Committee on Legal and Administrative Questions, guided the drafting of the Convention. As a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, he had seen first-hand how international justice could be effectively applied.
