Making Good Law

BBC World Service - The Forum, Making Good Law

It’s the basis of society: but what is the secret to creating laws that really work?

Should the law lead society or vice versa? With Philippe Sands, Chibli Mallat and Shlomit Wallerstein.

As post-revolutionary societies across the Arab world grapple with the task of creating new legal frameworks, Bridget Kendall brings together three prominent international lawyers to look at the challenges: former candidate for presidency in Lebanon and human rights lawyer Chibli Mallat; Shlomit Wallerstein, fellow in criminal law from Oxford University; and leading international lawyer Philippe Sands.
