We have a Human Rights Act and yet know very little about the subject

We have a Human Rights Act and yet know very little about the subject

UK Human Rights Blog has an interesting post here.

And, draws attention to a fascinating essay on the history of human rights.

"In a fascinating new essay, Samuel Moyn, a history professor at Columbia University, examines the history of human rights. He concentrates on the concept of international human rights from a U.S. perspective, but many of his observations are highly relevant to those with an interest in UK human rights. As is often the case, examining the movement’s history provides interesting clues as to its future".
