The Helen Clark Foundation and AUT - Auckland University of Technology are pleased to present Human Rights in the 2020s - a discussion with the Rt Hon Helen Clark and Kenneth Roth, a leading global advocate for human rights.

The discussion, moderated by AUT Vice Chancellor Professor Damon Salesa, will explore how a shifting global order impacts traditional safeguards to human rights and what new strategies are required in an era of fractured cooperation and weakening institutions.
