Values for a Godless Age
Values for a Godless Age by Francesca Klug, published by Penguin Books Ltd on September 28, 2000, is a thought-provoking exploration of the implications of the Human Rights Act in the UK. This edition, comprising 208 pages, delves into how this landmark legislation marks a significant shift in the enforcement of rights, making them accessible in domestic courts and applicable to government and public bodies.
Readers will find a detailed examination of the establishment of a Bill of Rights that not only codifies previously taken-for-granted rights but also sets a foundation for ethical values in contemporary society. The book addresses the intersection of civil rights and human rights, offering insights into how these principles can guide law and policy in a secular context. Through this analysis, Klug presents a framework for understanding the evolving landscape of rights in Great Britain.
Official synopsis Publisher
The Human Rights Act represents a new beginning for the UK. For the first time rights which we have taken for granted are written down and enforceable against the government and all public bodies in our own courts. For the first time we have a higher law – a Bill of Rights – whose principles will influence all other law and policy. And for the first time we have a common set of ethical values to which everyone in this godless age can subscribe.
