Sinopsis

In this landmark study, a thorough audit of British compliance with international human rights standards is carried out. The book identifies 42 violations and 22 near-violationsorá causesá forá concern.á Itá providesá aná up-to-dateá descriptioná ofá lawá andá practiceá withrespect to freedom of information, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and publicprotest,á freedomá ofá associationá andá tradeá unionism,á stateá surveillance,á theá rightá toá lifeand liberty, and the right to vote and stand in elections. á This study measures political freedom in the United Kingdom specifically against auniqueá Humaná Rightsá Index,á speciallyá constructedá fromá internationalá humaná rightslawsá andá jurisprudenceá byá theá authors.á Theá Indexá isá aná importantá newá toolá formonitoringá humaná rightsá aroundá theá world.á Itá isá alreadyá beingá usedá toá monitorá newlegislation in the UK. á Theá Threeá Pillarsá ofá Libertyá isá theá first-everá analysisá ofá bothá theá politicalá andá legalsystems for securing political freedom in the UK as a whole. It is the most rigorous andsystematic review of those systems yet published-and finds them wanting. It strikes atthe heart of the historic traditions of government and the rule of law in this country.This book will be essential reading for all those interested in their rights and the rightsof others.
