SUMMARY:IBAHRI Showcase: are human rights in retreat?
DESCRIPTION:This session explores threats to the respect for human rights
  and the rule of law. The rise of populism and acts of authoritarian nat
 ionalism from influential state actors has led to international legal ob
 ligations being ignored\, and\, as a result\, the rule of law and fundam
 ental human rights to be undermined. Globally\, we have witnessed crucia
 l examples of this\, from Trump’s United States\, a state once considere
 d a beacon for safeguarding fundamental human rights\, and its withdrawa
 l from the United Nations Human Rights Council in June 2018\, to Hungary
 ’s stringent immigration controls under Orban’s leadership. This session
  discusses responsibilities of states\, the relevance of organisations l
 ike the UN and the role of lawyers in maintaining international order an
 d respecting human rights as the foundation of our globalised world. In 
 upholding the rule of law\, states should provide a means of redress whe
 n specific rights are not defended\, and discuss exactly how the legal p
 rofession can work to address this grave concern will be deliberated.
