Jonathan Sumption on the Challenges to Democracy and the Rule of Law

Former Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption, moderated by Clive Coleman, ex-BBC Legal Correspondent, explores global strains on democracy. Democracy is facing mounting challenges, as political upheaval, rising authoritarianism, and the erosion of legal norms test its resilience worldwide. Jonathan Sumption – one of Britain’s most distinguished legal minds – delivers a penetrating analysis of these threats, offering fresh insights into the forces shaping our political landscape. From the aftermath of Brexit to the suppression of activism in Hong Kong, and from debates over freedom of speech to the fragility of international law, Sumption comes to The Conduit to examine the legal and political battlegrounds of our time. His incisive and often unorthodox perspective reveals how democratic systems are being undermined—and what this means for the future. Moderated by Clive Coleman, former BBC Legal Correspondent and award-winning journalist, join Sumption for a timely and thought-provoking discussion as he cuts through the noise of today’s polarized politics. With his sharp intellect and independent approach, we’ll dissect familiar narratives, inspire deeper thinking, and shed light on the mechanisms of law and power in an era of deep uncertainty.
