Conor Gearty died a month ago yesterday. He was deeply committed to human rights law without idealising it. He recognised its power & value while acknowledging its limitations (& those of the people engaging with it). He was also an exceptional lawyer. This is a fitting final piece in the @lrb.co.uk

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Conor Gearty His contribution as a human rights scholar has been immense His readiness to speak up for justice is one more human rights educators need to emulate www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...
