The Tyrannicide Brief: The Human Rights Story (Part 1)

One of the most significant developments of modern times is
expanded protection for universal human rights. But where did the
notion of universal human rights begin?

Renowned human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson traces some of
that history to one man, John Cooke, a radical lawyer who in
1649 "made tyranny a crime" as he prosecuted a king for waging war
on his own people.

In his book, The Tyrannicide Brief, Robertson explains how the trial of
Charles I - the first trial of a head of state - was the precursor of
modern proceedings against Augusto Pinochet, Slobodan Milosevic and
Saddam Hussein. Robertson himself was involved in the cases against
Pinochet and Hussein.

I find this all very interesting as i follow this whole new order thing. The empire (im not refering to star wars here;) is starting to erode the rights of the individual and seems to be bypassing the consitution.English flag, Red white and blue. American flag red white and blue. French, red white and blue. Australian, red white and blue.
