Protecting Human Rights: The Role of NGOs in Today’s Landscape

As global crises have time and time again demonstrated, NGOs play an invaluable role in the protection and promotion of human rights. But what exactly does this role entail? How do NGOs fulfil their responsibilities while adapting to technological, commercial, and legal landscape shifts? And finally, who or what really constitutes a protector?We answer these questions and more with Dr. Bertrand Ramcharan, Volume Editor of The Protection Roles of Human Rights NGOs, which is part of Brill’s “International Studies in Human Rights” series; Adrien-Claude Zoller, in whose honour the book was written; and Ms. Inès French, who was instrumental in the compilation of this book. If you like this podcast, have thoughts on the topic, or want us to address a specific theme in the future, write to us at [email protected].
