Shami Chakrabarti on human rights

Liberty is an Atlantic grantee.

Human rights flourished after the second world war. In this video segment, “Tea with The Economist,” Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty, hopes their recent decline is an anomaly.

About Liberty

Liberty is also known as the National Council for Civil Liberties. Founded in 1934, we are a cross party, non-party membership organisation at the heart of the movement for fundamental rights and freedoms in England and Wales. We promote the values of individual human dignity, equal treatment and fairness as the foundations of a democratic society.

Liberty seeks to protect civil liberties and promote human rights for everyone.

Liberty campaigns to protect basic rights and freedoms through the courts, in Parliament and in the wider community. We do this through a combination of public campaigning, test case litigation, parliamentary lobbying, policy analysis and the provision of free advice and information.
