Dylan Bird is joined by Kenneth Roth, former head of Human Rights Watch, for a wide-ranging discussion on the human rights movement, forcing government action and change, the Trump-Netanyahu relationship, Israel’s recent moves, how Human Rights Watch researchers conduct their work safely, and his new book Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments.

“Governments have their reasons to violate human rights – it’s a way to stay in power, it’s a way to snuff out the opposition – and you can change that only through pressure, and that really comes from public outrage.”
