1. Righting Wrongs
Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments
Righting Wrongs recounts Kenneth Roth’s three decades leading Human Rights Watch, chronicling investigations and campaigns to expose abuses and pressure governments worldwide. Drawing on his personal background and cases from Rwanda, Kuwait, Israel-Palestine, China, Myanmar, Russia-Ukraine and the U.S., Roth explains the strategies—most notably the use of international “shaming”—used to pursue accountability. The book reflects on successes, setbacks, and the ongoing effort to defend human rights globally.
