As democracy and human rights retreat globally—and the U.S. pulls back—how can civil society and legal norms remain effective in a divided world? What is the role and force of international law in this era of impunity?

Join us for a discussion of “The Future of Human Rights and International Law in a Divided World.” by Jose E. Alvarez. It is attached to this announcement, and hard copies will be available at Reston Library. We will be joined by Olivia Enos, Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute where she focuses on a wide range of human rights and national security issues. In addition, she is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and a contributor to Forbes.

A short film on the topic will be shown at 1:00, followed by discussion at 1:30.
