Are human rights under threat in the UK? – A Conversation with Shami Chakrabarti

Shami Chakrabarti, former Director of Liberty and member of the House of Lords, and Paul van Zyl on why human rights matter more than ever. What do human rights mean in today’s world, and why are they more important than ever? Rights like free speech, privacy, protection from discrimination, and fair trials were created to ensure fairness, equality, and justice. But now, they are under pressure from new threats—wars, growing inequality, rapid technological change, and political extremism. Join Shami Chakrabarti, one of Britain’s leading voices on human rights, in conversation with Paul van Zyl, Co-Founder of The Conduit, as they discuss why these rights matter so much right now and what it will take to protect them in a rapidly changing world.
