Books By Conor (London School of Economics and Political Science) Gearty - Author

Conor Gearty is Professor of Human Rights Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is a specialist in European and UK human rights law, as well as in terrorism law and civil liberties, on each of which subjects he has written extensively. He is also a barrister and a founding member of Matrix chambers from where he continues to practice. Costas Douzinas is Professor of Law at Birkbeck, University of London and Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. In his many books and the talks he has given around the world, he has developed a position on human rights which seeks to retain the radical and emancipatory power of the term without however accepting the arid and self-interested arguments of the powerful (of both the scholarly and political variety).
