Podcasts about Human rights

Platon has made over 20 Time magazine covers with his portraits of people like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George Clooney, Silvio Berlusconi, Mohammed Ali, Adele and Sinead O'Connor. But he has also photographed people who are the opposite of famous and powerful - and recently published a book called The Defenders: Heroes of the Global Fight for Human Rights - which contains work done over 15 years around the world telling the stories of refugees and other oppressed people. He tells us what makes a true leader, and how the meaning of a photograph can change over time, and depending on who is looking at it.

As the election campaign enters its final week, Liberal Leader Mark Carney releases his party's health-care platform at an event in Charlottetown, P.E.I. The plan focuses on building new hospitals, growing the health work force, modernizing the system, investing in women's health and reproductive rights, as well as increasing support for mental health care and substance abuse treatment.  Carney also comments on the passing of Pope Francis, who died Monday morning at the age of 88.   Delivering introductory remarks are Sean Casey, Liberal candidate for Charlottetown, and Greg Naterer, vice-president, academic and research at the University of Prince Edward Island. Carney faces questions from reporters on the Liberal party's election platform, which promises $130 billion in new spending while running deficits until at least the fiscal year 2028-2029.

She returns to Bad Faith podcast to provide new insight into how the State Department routinely deprioritized or flat out ignored reports about human rights abuses so that it would not have to contend with domestic laws prohibiting weapons sales to countries that failed to meet human rights standards. In her new piece for the Quincy Institute she breaks down the mythology around America's role as global peacekeeper, and exposes how weapons sales drive US foreign policy.

In recent years, local organizations, together with dozens of Indigenous communities, have planted more than 10 million trees up and down the Andes, with almost half of them in the Peruvian mountains around Cusco. Many of the tree species are threatened, and many of the ecosystems at risk.The trees help to protect and preserve the local environments and ecosystems and in particular help retain water. The communities are also holding on to their local cultures, beliefs and religion. Making offerings and prayers to Pachamama and the Apus. Offerings for the resistance of their peoples on the hillsides of the Andes. Offerings for their children and their communities. Offerings for the future. This is episode 23 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

What happens when the country that helped design the international human rights system starts to dismantle it?In this episode, we speak with the former president of the U.N. General Assembly, Ambassador Dennis Francis, about the growing threats to global cooperation and human rights—from authoritarian drift, to shrinking U.S. commitments, to rising fears inside the U.N. system itself. Is this the end of the liberal international order? And if so, what comes next?

1 /200 doesn't usually get former US State Department officers as guests, but Dr. Annelle Sheline is no ordinary former State Department officer. Having famously quit her job in protest at the Biden administration's unequivocal backing for Israel's war on Gaza, she recently sat down with Branko Marcetic to talk about how a US foreign policy that puts military power over human rights hurts everyone - including the United States itself.https://quincyinst.org/research/under-primacy-weapons-sales-will-always-supersede-human-rights/This episode's co-hostsBrankoTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:30 Arms Sales in US Foreign Policy6:59 Competition with China13:16 U.S Cost of Supporting Israel17:17 Bidens Damage to Human Rights24:59 Shared Interests of Hegemony30:01 Biden Decision Making for Gaza38:48 Delusion and Denial48:56 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

“Water is a Right: The Fight for Environmental Justice in Detroit” w/ Demeeko WilliamsJoin us with guest Demeeko Williams, Founder and Chief Director of Hydrate Detroit (hydratedetroit.org), to explore the struggle for water justice in one of America's Blackest cities. As part of our Black Liberation and Abolition series, this conversation centers on the racialized politics of water shutoffs, the criminalization of poverty, and the community-led resistance that redefines access to water as a human right — not a commodity.Demeeko will reflect on how systemic disinvestment, environmental racism, and austerity politics have led to Detroiters, predominantly Black and low-income... being denied access to clean water. We unpack how this crisis ties directly into broader abolitionist work: dismantling the structures that make survival a punishment, and building alternatives rooted in care, equity, and collective power.***Turning A Moment Into A Movement Podcast MISSION:To bring awareness, organize, and create content that will be a resource that will aide families, communities, and those seeking Justice for WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS and Injustice. ...and advocating for Justice & Exoneration for GERARD HAYCRAFT. change.org/Justice4GerardTurning A Moment Ino A Moment Team:-Jay Love Host: Founder and Creator of Turning A Moment Into A Movement, The Justice for Gerard Movement, to learn more about The Justice for Gerard Movement go to: ⁠www.change.org/Justice4Gerard⁠Executive Board member of Michigan Coalition of Human Rights, G100 Prison Reforms & Reintegration Global Advisory Council Member-Rev.

John is joined by Maya Wiley, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, to discuss the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and its implications for the rule of law in America. Wiley argues that the case -- and Donald Trump's open defiance of the Supreme Court's unanimous order that the administration facilitate Garcia's repatriation from a notorious penal colony in El Salvador -- is about more than Garcia's fate, immigration or foreign policy, the Trump administration's deportation agenda, or even the constitutional principle of due process. It's about Trump's yen for unchecked power, and how, if he gets it, the next Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be you.

The most powerful acts of resistance are sometimes the simple choices we make each day. The words we write. The pictures we take. The people we support. And the decision to step outside our home. To volunteer at migrant shelters. To stand with the most oppressed and marginalized. To fight against unjust systems. These are the daily acts of resistance of writer and reporter Tamara Pearson.You can follow her work at https://resistancewords.com/She tweets at https://x.com/pajaritarojaYou can find Tamara Pearson's latest novel, Eyes of the Earth, at https://resistancewords.com/novel-the-eyes-of-the-earth/This is Stories of Resistance — a new podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Today, we tackle some big-picture questions about the role of business in society when it comes to protecting human rights and democracy. And of course, this is very topical. I am honour to welcome Michael Posner to the show. Michael is the director of the Centre for Business and Human Rights at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is a human rights lawyer, and he was Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour under the Obama administration. He is the author of a new book, Conscience Incorporated: Pursue Profits While Protecting Human Rights, which, given the state of things in the world and the United States, is pretty timely and important. Michael covers a ton of ground here, from the primacy of shareholder capitalism, how to make decisions in a world comprised of competing expectations and trade-offs, the tensions associated with decisions around human rights and environmental concerns, when CEOs should speak up, and his thoughts on the Trump administration and what's happening with regard to the United States' role in the world and to democracy and human rights.

A crackdown on demonstrators in Turkey, the detention of the mayor of Istanbul and a clampdown on pro-EU protesters in Georgia – there is currently no shortage of challenges to the Council of Europe from its own members. Europe's largest and oldest intergovernmental body – comprising 46 countries – has a relatively new boss: Alain Berset became secretary general in September 2024. We ask him if human rights are under attack, and what recourse he has when members flout the organisation's core principles and values. Before his current role, Berset was an elected minister in the government of Switzerland.

California's Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and the Assembly Democratic Caucus are working to protect the people of California, its communities and economy by supporting the rights of immigrants. While the new federal administration has shown it has no respect for immigrants, Speaker Rivas and Assembly Democrats are listening to and supporting everyone in our communities. The immigration issue is particularly important in Central California. As part of the Look West Immigration Series Assemblymembers Esmerelda Soria and Liz Ortega join us for a conversation about their personal immigration stories, what rights you need to know and the work they are doing to help.

We believe in the power of the individual investor—and there's no better example of that power than proxy season, when shareholders come together to hold corporations accountable. The 2025 Proxy Preview Report, developed by As You Sow, Proxy Impact, and Empower Venture Partners, underscores how shareholder advocacy remains one of the most powerful tools we have to influence corporate behavior—even in the face of increasing political and regulatory headwinds.

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it. That is what we were fighting, for the 60, 70 years after Reconstruction was overthrown.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:• Clifford Albright: Co-Founder & Executive Director, Black Voters Matter• Willard and Kiba Armstead: Veteran & Spouse• Trayvon Bossa: Sigma Chapter Member, Miles College Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity• LaTosha Brown: Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter• Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw: Co-Founder & Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; Host of the Intersectionality Matters!

Titles do not do Eduardo Galeano justice. He was writer, reader, journalist, editor. But he was also historian. Catching stories in the air. Writing and retelling them anew. But he did not write for the stuffy halls of the elites or academia. He wrote for the people. He was a truth teller. A myth maker. An essayist. A poet. Polishing his craft. Honing his art. Chiseling his sculptures with word, until they were perfectly symmetrical. Gorgeous bouquets of words.He was a storyteller. And his tales had morals. His vignettes — tiny packets of beauty that remind us who we are, and where we come from. The immense injustices carried out by the powerful and the profound insight of the people. He died on April 13, 2015. This week is the 10-year-anniversary of his passing.This is episode 20 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.  Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program.

The true story of America is currently being rewritten in real time by the White House. The president's rejection of incontrovertible truths, from racism to domestic violence to the marginalization of people with disabilities is laid bare in the banning of words on government websites that reference those who have been most wronged in our society. It also explains his freezing of federal funding for nonprofits that work each day to tackle discrimination as codified in the National Fair Housing Act of 1968. This landmark civil rights legislation, hard-won after years of advocacy, was enacted just weeks after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and remains integral to creating a more equitable union.  In this episode of Power Station, Lisa Rice, President and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance shares what it takes to move forward in the face of an existential crisis impacting her organization, its members and those they serve. Lisa is unbowed and NFHA is hard at work, correcting algorithmic biases in appraisals and lending and leading a movement for AI that advances civil and human rights.  Lisa is a treasure. Please listen and share her story.

Have the great ambitions for the role of international criminal justice in the world been misplaced? Can international courts deliver meaningful justice for the victims of extreme crimes in conflict? This conversation will explore the challenges of seeking accountability for war time atrocities with Erik Møse, one the pioneering figures of international criminal justice. His perspectives will draw from decades of experience, having served as the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and presided over the trials of the leading figures of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, where an estimated 800,000 individuals were killed within 100 days. In his current role as Chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, he will share his reflections on the rapidly evolving techniques for investigating international crimes in conflict zones.

“If you're the one that always gets fed in the nest, you become a bird of paradise. If you're the runt, you get yeeted.”— Chris Abraham, philosopher of the podcast forestIn this unhinged odyssey of a podcast episode, Chris Abraham and co-host Snarky Eunice hatch a conversation that begins with a metaphor about social movements needing applause (Tinkerbell-style), expands into a sharp analysis of the professional clap economy, swerves into conspiracy-adjacent government funding structures, flies through political infighting, lands briefly in the terrain of eco-hypocrisy, and ultimately ends with a heartfelt elegy to a life lived behind the lens.You wanted rails? Too bad. They were dismantled, repurposed for sculpture, and auctioned off to raise funds for a prepper community art collective in Utah.Picking up from S9E4 ("Tinkerbell Tactics"), Chris critiques the performative support required to sustain social movements. He argues:Identity and justice-based initiatives often require external belief and funding to survive, much like clapping keeps Tinkerbell alive.These movements increasingly rely on taxpayer funding, federal grants, and NGO scaffolding—forming a “trust fund for the ideologically vulnerable.”Chris introduces the concept of the "clap factory"—a mechanism by which governments and affiliated nonprofits financially insulate certain causes from public opinion. Why rely on fickle donors when you can be a line item in the Department of Diversity?

Presented with limited interruptions by the listeners at https://thekyleseraphinshow.locals.com/In this Sunday Sit-Down, I'm joined by Russell Hunter to discuss the mission and philosophy of Abolitionists Rising, an organization dedicated to abolishing abortion. We explore the historical context of abolitionism, drawing parallels between the fight against chattel slavery and the current battle against abortion. Russell emphasizes the moral imperative to view abortion as murder and the need for a cultural shift towards repentance and justice. The discussion emphasizes the importance of language in framing these issues and the challenges faced in advocating for change.

Many of the images that have been seen from Israel’s war in Gaza have already been seen for the last time. With Gaza under siege from the Israeli military and tech companies censoring and taking down material, the responsibility falls on the people of Gaza to document and archive their own evidence of war crimes and genocide. How will it survive?

On this edition of Parallax Views, the Quincy Institute's Dr. Annelle Sheline, a frequent guest on the program and a former Biden-era State Dept. official who resigned over the U.S. handling of Gaza, returns to discuss her briefing "Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights". But first we discuss the article she recently co-wrote for Responsible Statecraft entitled "Trump drops news bomblet: Direct US-Iran talks this Saturday". The conversation begins with a discussion of Netanyahu's meeting with Donald Trump earlier this week and some talk about the upcoming talks between the U.S. and Iran. We then get into the main event of this conversation: the ways in which weapons sales have trumped human rights rhetoric in U.S. foreign policy. For as much as the United States has often talked about human rights, it has often sold weapons to autocratic human rights abusers. We'll discuss a number of historical moments related to this including the assassination of Salvador Allende and the bloody Chile coup of 1973, Jimmy Carter vs. Ronald Reagan on human rights & U.S. foreign policy, the Iran-Contra affair, the legacies of the Cold War and the Global War on Terror, how wars abroad often lead to repression at home (and concerns about Trump's plans for pro-Palestinian voices in America), bridging the gap between human rights and realism/U.S. national interests, a brief look at the Leahy Laws, sanctions and weapons sales, the U.S.'s unconditional support of Israel's actions in Gaza as undermining claims to defending human rights, and much, much more.

Community members protested and shut down the streets for months in defense of their right to water after Cochabamba handed the municipal water supply over to a subsidiary of the US construction firm Bechtel.

What happens when international law exists on paper but not in practice? This week, Fredrik Gertten and Leilani Farha speak with Allegra Pacheco, an American human rights lawyer who has dedicated her career to protecting vulnerable Palestinian communities in the West Bank. As Chief of Party for the West Bank Protection Consortium, Allegra sees the realities of Area C in the West Bank, where over 600,000 Israeli settlers live in communities deemed illegal under international law while Palestinians face severe restrictions on movement, construction, and daily life.Together with Fredrik and Leilani, Allegra discusses what it will take to protect the occupied Palestinian territories. How might private security forces protect Palestinian communities? What leverage does the European Union actually possess? And why has the international community failed to enforce its own legal rulings? As the opportunity to protect a future for Palestine seems to dwindle, Allegra's perspective challenges us to think critically about what it will take to end one of the world's most protracted conflicts, and what it means to have hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.Support the show

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far right and a top contender for the presidency, has just been banned from running after a corruption conviction. Is this a legitimate ruling — or lawfare: the weaponisation of the legal system to block political opponents? Join Yanis Varoufakis, award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, and Jacobin's Europe editor David Broder for a live discussion hosted by Mehran Khalili.  We'll break down the Le Pen ruling, look at how courts are used to sideline opposition figures in Europe and beyond, and ask: Does barring candidates actually strengthen the far right? Is lawfare becoming the establishment's go-to tool to silence dissent? And if we don't challenge it now, what comes next?

This episode features a conversation with Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, who details the legal and political realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She argues that Israel's 57-year occupation is unlawful and functions as a vehicle for annexation and repression, characterizing it as apartheid. Albanese asserts that Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza, as part of a long-term plan to create a Greater Israel devoid of Palestinians, and that this is increasingly extending to the repression of Jewish citizens who oppose the occupation. She critiques the international community's insufficient response, highlighting the need for accountability through sanctions and divestment, and stresses the importance of recognizing Palestinian rights – including the right to self-determination, an end to apartheid, and reparations – before pursuing political solutions like a two-state solution. Ultimately, she emphasizes the urgent need to halt the ongoing destruction and potential erasure of the Palestinian people and to shift focus towards protecting their fundamental human rights. https://www.ohchr.org/en/special-procedures/sr-palestine/francesca-albanese Ms. Francesca Albanese is an international lawyer, specialised in human rights and the Middle East. Since May 2022, she has served as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967 (oPt).
