Don’t forget! Our Human Rights vs Bill of Rights: What’s in it for workers? conference will be held in London on 27 April. 

We're excited to be hosting an expert panel of speakers, including human rights barristers, academics and campaigners from projects such as RightsInfo and Liberty as well as University College of London, King's College London, University of East London, Doughty Street Chambers and Old Square Chambers.

As well as joining us at the event, we recommend new BBC Radio 4 series Are Human Rights Really Universal? for an in-depth look into how our fundamental rights are ignored by states around the world.

This week we also released our latest publication Access to Justice: Exposing the Myths. Subscribers’ free copy is already in the post, or you can login to the website to read the book now. For non-subscribers, the publication is available at just £6 per copy or you can subscribe here for immediate electronic access to our entire library.
