Dr. Agnes Callamard
United Nations Special Rapporteur for Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Execution and Director, Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, Columbia University
A growing suspicion about the reliability and accuracy of reporting, and the widespread dissemination of disinformation associated with strongman governments around the world, raise critical challenges to human rights advocacy, litigation and enforcement, policymaking, and promotion. Dr. Agnès Callamard will explore the challenges confronted by those responsible for human rights fact-finding.
