Liberty - Protecting civil liberties, promoting human rights

What's Not To Love? graphic
COMMON
VALUES

We believe in fundamental rights and freedoms - shared values that protect every member of the human family and the society we seek to build together

Human rights are about dignity, equality and respect. These values are common to us all no matter how different we may seem.

In the UK the Human Rights Act protects us all - old and young, rich and poor, you and me.


Help us increase respect and understanding for human rights values.

FOR THEIR
EYES
ONLY
The Government's Justice and Security Green Paper would allow dirty secrets to be hidden from open courts, the press and public. No one is above the law, including the state.
JUSTICE
WITHIN
REACH
Access to justice and the right to a fair hearing are fundamental to the rule of law and to democracy itself. Help us fight proposed legal aid cuts that will put justice beyond the reach of vast swathes of the population.
