Is our current framework of universal #HumanRights functioning or failing to protect the most vulnerable around the world? 📜🌎 Human Rights @CaseForDefence by #ShamiChakrabarti argues that it's still essential, despite its flaws. Read the #review 👇 wp.me/p2MwSQ-hIm
"But human rights do not provide magic solutions to all the global challenges. They need to be built upon, adapted for changing times so that they can be effectively upheld, not razed to the ground. In this book, Chakrabarti recalibrates contemporary discussions by framing human rights as neither a cure for all ills nor a cloak camouflaging domination, but as one part of a larger solution." Thank you Samira Allioui and @LSEReviewBooks. Feels heartening to read this review today #CaseForTheDefence dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/hum…

Earlier this year, the Home Office said it would start a statutory inquiry into conditions at Manston following reports of overcrowding and disease, including diphtheria, in late 2022. Baroness #ShamiChakrabarti said: “We're talking about millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money alongside deeply offensive, inhumane conditions. “We really need to investigate this, and in particular, I do want to know who profited, and what, if any, were the relationships between ministers, senior officials and private contractors that were involved.” lbc.co.uk/news/manston-m… #CaseForTheDefence
"Why can't they stay in France?" Do you hear this a lot too? Next time you do, send them this video so they know there’s a better question to ask.
