SUMMARY:Kenneth Roth  - English - COMPLET / SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Righting Wrongs\n\nInterview conducted by Stéphane Bussard\, j
 ournalist at Le Temps\n\nThe son of a jew who fled Nazi Germany just befor
 e the war began\, Kenneth Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane gove
 rnments could be. Former executive director of Human Rights Watch\, he ha
 s investigated human rights abuses around the world\, focusing especially 
 on the world’s most dire situations\, the pursuit of international justi
 ce\, the major powers’ foreign policies\, the work of the UN\, and the g
 lobal contest between democracy and autocracy. In three decades under his 
 leadership\, Human Rights Watch grew to a staff of more than five hundred\
 , conducting investigations in hundred countries to uncover abuses and pre
 ssuring offending governments to stop them. Roth’s many strategies inclu
 ded the deployment of a concept as old as mankind\, the powerful tool of 
 “shaming”\, and here he illustrates its surprising effectiveness again
 st evildoers. Righting Wrongs\, Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling 
 Abusive Governments (Knopf\, 2025) is a story of wins\, losses\, and ongoi
 ng battles in the ceaseless fight to fend the moral arc from the hands of 
 injustice and bend it toward good.
