The Future of Human Rights

Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 8:30am – 4:00pm

With the impending presidential election and start of a new administration, the time is ripe for a reexamination of key issues in human rights and the role of the United States in the promotion of human rights around the world. This conference promises to provide the signal opportunity to engage in that reflection with major figures in the fields of international relations and human rights as well as politics, journalism, and academia.

Co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress and Georgetown University Law Center's Samuel Dash Conference on Human Rights, this daylong event will include Secretary Albright's insights into how the United States can best advance human rights and ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo speaking on "The Role of the International Criminal Court in Preventing Mass Atrocities." It will also mark the launch of a new book, The Future of Human Rights: U.S. Policy for a New Era, designed to provide a blueprint for the next President's human rights policies.
