Human Rights Basics

There's lots of ways to start learning about what Human Rights really are - and that's the key phrase, what Human Rights really are, because if there's one thing we know, there's more opportunity out there to learn what they are not than what they are.  Misinformation is rife - a quick read through the UK's tabloid press would give the impression that Human Rights are only there to protect foreign criminals from extradtion from the UK and that those who support Human Rights are only 'Left wing Luvvies' (Daily Mail 25 June 2015).  To learn about Human Rights, you can click on the links below to find out more:

We are building up the resources and links on these pages to include our our publications and also links to Human Rights and Values sites that will support your journey.   What we won't do is give you only one view of a particular issue, because in many cases, there are many different interpretations.
