Baroness Chakrabarti's latest book, Human Rights: The Case for the Defence outlines the historic national and international struggles for human rights, from the fall of Babylon to the present day. Her intervention engages both sceptics and supporters and equips believers in the battle of ideas whilst persuading doubters to think again. For human rights to survive, they must be far better understood by everyone.
