From Israel's war in Gaza, to conflict in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar and elsewhere, activists say it's never been harder to protect the vulnerable. Donald Trump's transactional approach to international relations is also challenging traditional diplomacy. So, how do you keep human rights high on the agenda?

In this Episode:  

  • Geoffrey Robertson, human rights barrister and former United Nations war crimes judge.
  • Moataz el-Fegiery, Vice-president of EuroMed Rights.
  • Hussein Khalid, human rights lawyer and executive director of VOCAL Africa.
