Description
A powerful explanation and vindication of our human rights and freedoms is urgently needed. After World War Two, the international community came together to enshrine fundamental rights to refuge, health, education and living standards, for privacy, fair trials and free speech, and outlawing torture, slavery and discrimination. Shami Chakrabarti, a leading British human rights defender, argues that these rights are essential for our future. In this book, she outlines the historic national and international struggles for human rights, from ancient times to the present day, showing how they relate to the law and logic underpinning human dignity and universal freedoms. Chakrabarti's intervention will engage both sceptics and supporters, equipping believers in the battle of ideas and persuading doubters to think again. For human rights to survive, they must be far better understood by everyone.
