WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, March 9, 2021, Georgetown Law’s Human Rights Institute will host a conversation on what’s next for human rights in the Biden Administration.

WHAT

A military coup in Myanmar. Genocide against the Uyghurs in China. Humanitarian emergencies in Yemen and impending disaster in Ethiopia. A refugee crisis at our southern border. And a reckoning with systemic racism here at home. These are just a few of the myriad human rights challenges facing the new administration. President Biden has pledged to put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy and has recognized the connection between upholding human rights at home and advancing them abroad. What does this mean for U.S. human rights policy today?
