Bianca Jagger on human rights

BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Bianca Jagger on human rights

Tom Sutcliffe talks to Bianca Jagger, Fatima Bhutto, Stephen Hopgood and Howard Brenton.

Tom Sutcliffe talks to the Pakistani novelist Fatima Bhutto, playwright Howard Brenton, human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger and academic Stephen Hopgood.

Tom Sutcliffe looks at the future of human rights with the campaigner Bianca Jagger and academic Stephen Hopgood. Jagger points to the failure of the global community to tackle violence against women and girls, while Hopgood sounds the death knell for international Human Rights with the rise of religious conservatism and the decline in influence of Europe and America. Pakistan's Tribal Area close to Afghanistan is the setting for Fatima Bhutto's debut novel, and the playwright Howard Brenton examines the chaos of the partition of India in his latest production, Drawing The Line.

Producer: Katy Hickman.
