Why we picked this
Hong Kong as a case study in how human rights are won and lost — timely, specific, and directly relevant to what's happening globally.
Kelley Loper uses Hong Kong as a lens for understanding one of the most urgent questions in international law: what happens to human rights when the institutions designed to protect them are dismantled from within? The lecture traces how legal frameworks evolved to address violations and asks whether those frameworks are adequate for what’s happening now.
