Context:
The Lord Chancellor said introduction of the Human Rights Bill, which makes the European Convention on Human Rights legally **binding** in Britain, laid down that everybody was entitled to privacy and that public figures could go to court to protect themselves and their families.
Four choices are given at the place of **binding** as:
binding, convincing, restraining, sustaining
The text books says binding fits.
For me, this sentence is quite confusing. Anyone can help me? Thanks.

英国通过人权法，为英国遵守欧洲人权公约提供了法律依据
That is one of the ways they make EU laws effective in UK. Please do research on Britain's legal systems.
