520 | _aThe Three Pillars of Liberty is a landmark study on the state of democracy in the UK. The book identifies 44 violations and 19 near violations of human rights laws. It provides an up-to-date description of law and practice with respect of freedom of information, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and public protest, freedom of association and trade unionism, state surveillance, the right to life and liberty, and the right to vote and stand in elections. It measures political freedom against the "Human Rights Index," an important tool for monitoring human rights around the world. The first-ever analysis of both the political and legal systems for securing political freedom in the UK as a whole, it is the most rigorous and systematic review of those systems yet published, and it finds them lacking. It strikes at the heart of the historic traditions of government and the rule of law in the UK. It will be essential reading for all those interested in their rights and the rights of others. | ||
