Human Rights Protection in Global Politics: Responsibilities of States and Non-State Actors

Kurt Mills and David J. Karp, eds.

 

Chair: Siobhan Reardon, Amnesty International

Participants: Kurt Mills, University of Glasgow; David Karp, University of Sussex; Mátyás Bódig, University of Aberdeen; Flor González Correa, Aston University

This groundbreaking new book brings together political, legal and moral perspectives on the responsibilities of human rights protection in world politics today. In this panel discussion, the editors and some of the authors discuss their contributions and the main debates surrounding who has responsibilities to protect human rights, addressing state responsibility, the responsibility of non-state actors, including corporations, and the emerging responsibility to protect people at risk of mass atrocities.

The event will conclude with a wine reception and everyone is welcome.  If you would like to attend, please register on the Eventbrite site.
