As Alain de Botton talked about in one of his lectures, our society seems to believe implicitly in a world where we don’t have lost keys, where we have no traffic, where we marry ever after, find jobs that are fulfilling and so on … even though all those things are not the norm.”

Geoffrey Robertson QC, a leading human rights lawyer who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, has been cited in “Britain agrees settlement for Kenya’s Mau Mau victims” (Mike Pflanz, Nairobi and David Blair, The Telegraph, 05.06.13):

Geoffrey Robertson QC, a leading human rights lawyer, welcomed the settlement as an “exercise in decency”, adding that it would not necessarily open the floodgates to other claims. “It can be contained because every case is evidence-specific and there was overwhelming evidence in this case,” he said.

Mr Robertson added: “I think it will enhance Britain’s reputation because we are one of the few ex-colonial countries which is prepared to fess up. It may encourage claims against other countries which continue to deny the need to compensate.”

Protests by lawyers and human rights groups are planned for Tuesday afternoon to coincide with the formal closing of the MoJ’s consultation, Transforming Legal Aid, which aims to cut £220m out of criminal legal aid.

Senior QCs such as Geoffrey Robertson and Dinah Rose, as well as leading human rights charities including Liberty, Reprieve Freedom from Torture and Kids Company, are expected to support the demonstration outside the department. It will be at least the third public protest by lawyers against the plans in the past six weeks.
