Product Description

Review

On Fantasy Island is an excellent read and a much-needed contribution to the debate on whether the [Human Rights Act] should be repealed in favour of a proposed British Bill of Rights. (Rachael Ita, Times Higher Education)

Conor Gearty's forensically brilliant defence of the Human Rights Act routs the fallacies and fantasies of the Naysayers. His argument is for a nation - indeed a world where human decency prevails. Lucid, powerful, and advocacy at its finest. A triumph! (Baroness Helena Kennedy QC)

A lucid, forensic, somewhat irreverent exposition of what for many people is an arcane subject, but one that has done more than most of us realise to shape the society in which we live. (Chris Mullin, The Irish Times)
