The UK signed the European Convention on Human Rights, which covers both human rights and civil liberties, and it is part of our law. But how are they different?
Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Shami Chakrabarti CBE, PC who sits in the House of Lords and is a human rights activist. She tells us:
· how civil liberties and human rights work to protect us all
· how the rule of law relates to civil liberties and human rights
· Shami’s work to protect children's rights and why the voting age should be 16 years old
· why diversity and inclusion is important in the area of civil liberties and human rights
When Shami was 10 years old she cared a lot about injustice and liked talking to her parents about politics. She liked to read, debate and enjoyed playing musical instruments.
