Description
On Liberty explores the threats to our freedoms and makes a personal plea in defence of fundamental rights. Shami Chakrabarti argues that these rights are indispensable, drawing on her own work in high-profile campaigns.
The world changed forever with the 9/11 attacks, leading to a period of exception where governments often prioritize expediency over the rule of law and human rights. This book examines why fundamental rights and freedoms are crucial, and how they are under unprecedented pressure today.
