In this set of three essays, originally presented as the 2005
Hamlyn Lectures, Conor Gearty considers whether human rights can
survive the challenges of the war on terror, the revival of
political religion, and the steady erosion of the world's natural
resources. He also looks deeper than this to consider the
fundamental question: How can we tell what human rights are? In his
first essay, Gearty asks how the idea of human rights needs to be
made to work in our age of relativism, uncertainty and anxiety. In
the second, he assesses how the idea of human rights has coped with
its incorporation in legal form in the UK Human Rights Act, arguing
that the record is much better and more democratic than many human
rights enthusiasts allow. In his final essay, Gearty confronts the
challenges that may destroy the language of human rights for the
generations that follow us.
