This event is not open to the public.
In the third decade of the new millennium, the simultaneity, speed, and depth of existential challenges like climate change, geopolitical instability, war, technological disruption, and intensifying social inequalities are testing the traditional human rights paradigm like never before.
The UN Human Rights Council plays an essential role in creating, enforcing, and shaping the future of international human rights law. This roundtable conversation convenes the Council’s President, Ambassador Federico Villegas, with NYU Law’s Pablo de Greiff and César Rodríguez-Garavito to explore the multiple challenges to the human rights regime and its ability to tackle these existential issues.
Speakers:
- Federico Villegas, President, UN Human Rights Council
- Pablo de Greiff, Director of the Prevention Project & Transitional Justice Program, NYU Law Center for Human Rights and Global Justice
- César Rodríguez-Garavito, Professor of Clinical Law and Chair of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, NYU Law
This event is open only to NYU.
