Description
Nearly two years after the Coalition Government was formed, Liberty’s
Director, Shami Chakrabarti explores the impact on rights and freedoms
in Great Britain.
The Common Values of Dignity, equal treatment and fairness are
fundamental principles that underpin the British definition of civil
liberties but what has proved to be the Government’s approach to these
values?
From a promising start with the repeal of ID cards legislation to the
disappointing continuation of the odious control order regime, the
Government’s record is certainly mixed. But with the announcement that
Britain’s human rights framework is to be reviewed by a Commission on a
British Bill of Rights, we now face the greatest threat to our human rights protection in the lifetime of the Human Rights Act.
What might the future hold for Common Values in Coalition Britain?
