HARDtalk

Kenneth Roth - Executive Director, Human Rights Watch (2015x19)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 09, 2015

Since the late seventies, Human Rights Watch has named and shamed governments and organisations for alleged breaches. But who sets those rules? And if you live in the Middle East or China are they different than if you live in America? Hardtalk speaks to the head of the organisation, Kenneth Roth. In treating all rights the same and all people the same, with no account for culture or context, has the organisation lost its power? And is there a danger it could become an enemy of the very rights it seeks to enforce?
