SUMMARY:A conversation with…a panel of eminent legal professionals – thre
 ats to the rule of law: are we at a crisis point?
DESCRIPTION:Threats to the rule of law: are we at a crisis point? A gener
 ation after countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe and elsewher
 e in the world celebrated the overthrow of authoritarian regimes and com
 mitted themselves to building societies based on the rule of law\, the r
 ule of law has come under challenge. Recent populist surges have led to 
 the dilution or abandonment of rule of law reforms and the values on whi
 ch they were based. At this unique session\, hear first-hand accounts of
  the warning signs\, the circumstances\, and the consequences of governm
 ental actions that have undercut the independence of judiciaries\, vilif
 ied the press\, suppressed individual freedoms\, and attacked the legal 
 profession. How serious are these issues? Are we at a crisis point? What
  are the stakes\, and what are the responsibilities of members of the le
 gal profession worldwide?
