Around the world, democracy and human rights are facing growing challenges, while the international legal system is under increasing strain.
This Great Decisions discussion will examine how civil society, international institutions, and legal norms can remain effective in an increasingly divided world. What role can international law play when governments disregard established rules and accountability is difficult to enforce? And how might the global human rights system adapt to today’s changing political landscape?
Join us for a timely exploration of the future of human rights, international law, and the institutions created to uphold them.
