Strategic Blackmail with Infinite Compassion
Last night, we were invited to an evening with Ken Roth,
Executive Director of Human Rights Watch.
Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights
of people around the world. We stand with victims and activists
to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, to
protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring
offenders to justice. We investigate and expose human rights
violations and hold abusers accountable. We challenge
governments and those who hold power to end abusive practices
and respect international human rights law. We enlist the public
and the international community to support the cause of human
rights for all.
Ken Roth is a former litigator and federal prosecuter, who has
dedicated his energy to the Human Rights cause over the last two
decades.
He explained HRW's mission, methods, and results in an engaging
talk. A recent victory was described eloquently.
