Our human rights are important!

Our human rights are under threat as a result of damaging press coverage as well as the negative attitude of the government towards our human rights legislation. Both have focused on how human rights have been used to protect suspected terrorists rights, rather than recognising the important role they play in protecting the most vulnerable in society, including disabled people and older people. Laura Matthews from our research team looks at the importance of human rights to us.
