A powerful and urgent explanation and justification of our human rights and freedoms. After the devastation of the Second World War, the international community came together to enshrine fundamental rights to shelter, health, education, and sustainable living standards, to privacy, fair trials, and freedom of speech, as well as to prohibit torture, slavery, and discrimination. Their aim was greater global justice, equality, and peace. This agreement is now at risk, threatened by opponents from across the political spectrum and populist and authoritarian movements worldwide. We are threatened by wars, inequalities, new technologies, and climate destruction, and we need human rights now more than ever. In this powerful, accessible book, Shami Chakrabarti, a lawyer, parliamentarian, and leading human rights advocate in Britain, shows us why human rights are essential for our future. Tracing the historical national and international struggles for human rights from the fall of Babylon to the present day, Chakrabarti is an indispensable guide to the law and logic that underpin human dignity and universal freedoms. Her intervention will engage both skeptics and supporters, equipping believers in the battle of ideas and persuading doubters to think again. For human rights to survive, they must be much better understood by everyone.
