Welcome to Your Rights

This is Liberty’s website to provide information and support to individuals and organisations who wish to understand and enforce their rights under the Human Rights Act 1998.

YourRights guide

This guide aims to provide an easily understood guide to help you understand what your rights are in different areas of law, ranging from the rights to privacy to the right of peaceful protest. You can access the chapters of the YourRights guide by following the links on the left.

The YourRights guide is written by expert lawyers, but is intended primarily for people who have no specialist legal knowledge.
