Does UK government policy on economic austerity breach international human rights law? In an innovative legal proceedings, the charges will be brought, and ‘Austerity’ defended, by a team of legal experts, backed by distinguished human rights and other specialist witnesses from the UK and around the world. Overseen by a leading barrister acting as judge, the trial will end with a verdict delivered by a jury of children and young people, as well as the audience, and a chance for questions to be posed to the expert witnesses on what the future holds.
