Resumen

Unlocking Human Rights will ensure that you grasp the main concepts of this fascinating and dynamic area of law with ease, providing you with an indispensible foundation in the subject. The book explains in detailed, yet straightforward, terms:

The nature of human rights
European Convention on Human Rights
Human Rights Act
Right to life
Torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
Public order, police powers, freedom of association and assembly
Right to a fair trial
Freedom of expression
Privacy, private life and marriage
Right to liberty and security
Prohibition of discrimination
Terrorism
Freedom of thought, conscience and religion
Property rights
Contemporary themes of UN human rights review of the UK, constitutional reform, and security

The book provides practical knowledge to help you apply the understanding of these themes and explains:

Rights concepts and language
How the Convention and Human Rights Act operate
Ways in which applicants use the procedures to remedy injustices when domestic UK law has let them down
What kinds of protection are available to everyone within the UK’s jurisdiction
How a balance is struck between the need to protect many different kinds of right in the modern world, with the equally important need to protect everyone from external threats
Why it is vital that essential freedoms of thought, conscience, religion, association, assembly and expression are protected
How the ‘rights’ which everyone claims as their own have to be balanced against the qualifications or restrictions that are imposed to protect other people’s interests

This new volume is fully up-to-date with the latest changes in the law and includes discussion of essential developments, including the Protection of Freedom Act 2012, Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 and the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.
