Podcasts about Human rights

Abby and Patrick welcome Helen Epstein, Visiting Professor of Human Rights and Global Public Health at Bard College and author of the new book Why Live: How Suicide Becomes an Epidemic. After sketching out the history of contemporary western sociological and philosophical accounts of suicide in general from Durkheim to the existentialists and beyond, the three turn to the specific focus of Epstein's research: suicide epidemics. As Epstein elaborates, suicide epidemics – wherein entire communities experience sudden and acute spikes in suicide rates – raise urgent questions about the social, economic, and emotional contexts of suicidal distress. What broad conditions can make people feel like life is no longer worth living? What models of meaningful life do communities transmit intergenerationally, and how do those models – and those communities – crumble under pressure? Exploring examples from Micronesia to Nunavut and from 1990s Russia to the contemporary United States and taking up communities from 19th century industrial workers to contemporary American military veterans, Epstein walks Abby and Patrick through her findings, leading the three to reflect on how societies metabolize historical change and economic dislocation on the level of families and across generations. Helen Epstein, Why Live: When Suicide Becomes an Epidemic.Have you noticed that Freud is back?

So, the President thinks he's in a Liam Neeson movie, the DOJ thinks "transparency" means hiding 98% of the Epstein files, and Ghislaine Maxwell got a puppy. Happy Wednesday.

Since the beginning of 2026, US forces have killed people in Caracas, Venezuela, on boat strikes in the Pacific, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is a new era, where US law enforcement kill people in plain sight and then blame it on the victims, accusing them of being agitators or terrorists — domestic or foreign — whether they are in fishing boats in the Caribbean and Pacific or protesting on the streets of Minneapolis.Today's episode turns the lens back on the United States. Because the shadow of the United States itself is hanging dangerously over US cities and communities like never before.This is episode 6 of Under the Shadow, Season 2.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.Hosted by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Theme music by Michael Fox's band, Monte Perdido.

When border czar Tom Homan announced a drawdown of federal agents in Minnesota, he said something else that stood out: “ICE, here, in this state, have located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children. Children that the last administration lost and weren't even looking for.”Unaccompanied minors is a term the federal government uses to describe children under 18 who don't have lawful status in the U.S. and who don't have parents or legal guardians in the country who can care for them. Many live with other family members or connections who are known to the government as their sponsors. The Trump Administration has pledged to step up tracking of 450,000 unaccompanied minors nationwide. The goal, it says, is to protect them from abuse and child labor. Joining Minnesota Now to talk more about this is Kim Boche from The Advocates for Human Rights. They lead a team of attorneys focused on unaccompanied minors.

DOCKET ALERTS:Trump celebrated President's Day by filing a trademark for Donald J. Trump International Airport — just in time for Florida's move to rename Palm Beach International Airport in his honor. KA-CHING!In Colorado, a state judge ruled that throwing prisoners in solitary confinement as a penalty for refusing to work violates the state constitution's ban on involuntary servitude. It's a start!And in Philadelphia, Judge Cynthia Rufe ordered the Trump administration to restore an exhibit on the enslaved people who lived at President's House under George Washington: “Each person who visits the President's House and does not learn of the realities of founding-era slavery receives a false account of this country's history.”MAIN SHOW:In Minnesota, Judge Nancy Brasel ordered DHS to grant detainees in “holding rooms” at the Whipple Building in Minneapolis meaningful access to counsel. The ruling bars ICE from removing immigrants from the state for 72 hours after they are originally picked up. We'll discuss the cracks appearing between DHS, which ignores court orders, and DOJ, which has to show up in court and take the blame for it.In New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan issued a similar order in September with respect to temporary “holding rooms” on the 9th floor at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, with additional requirements that DHS provide for detainees' hygiene, nutrition, and medical needs. The plaintiffs say ICE has not complied and moved for contempt. The City reports that DHS opened up new temporary detention facilities on the 10th floor, but claims the injunction doesn't apply there for, uh, REASONS.And we break down all the ways Republicans are trying to suppress the vote with the SAVE America Act, which solves the nonexistent problem of noncitizens voting illegally by imposing a series of restrictions on citizens registering and voting.In the subscriber bonus, we discuss a district court's decision in Massachusetts enjoining the Trump administration from deploying ICE in and around churches.

In this episode, we welcome Professor Ben Saul from the University of Sydney who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism, and his insights and experience are relevant to exploring the recent state visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. What started as an invitation by the Australian government and The Zionist Federation of Australia to enhance solidarity in the wake of the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack has become a point of contention, with both warm welcomes from the vast majority of the Jewish community and angry protests on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne about Israeli actions in Gaza. Professor Saul talks about the recent amendments to laws around the protests; and the issue of criticism of Israel in the context of rising antisemitism and the challenge of ascertaining what is hate speech and what is a legitimate free speech.

When the history of this moment is written, Minneapolis may take its place alongside Selma, Stonewall, and Harper's Ferry—a name synonymous with resistance. In this episode, Matthew Taylor and Susie Hayward return to American Unexceptionalism to reflect on what has unfolded in the Twin Cities over the past two months: mass ICE deployments, escalating authoritarian tactics, and a powerful, community-rooted response. Drawing from the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, they explore what frontline resistance looks like in real time, how religious leaders have stepped into both pastoral and prophetic roles, and why this moment feels like the full activation of both Trump-era authoritarian impulses and an American resistance movement finding its footing. This conversation serves as a postlude—and a reckoning—with the themes of American Unexceptionalism. Lessons once drawn from Sri Lanka, South Korea, Brazil, and beyond are now being lived out at home, faster and more intensely than expected. Taylor and Hayward unpack why Minneapolis became the flashpoint, how multifaith and multigenerational organizing has changed the terrain, and what these experiences can teach communities across the country preparing for what may come next. The message is urgent and clear: what's happening in Minneapolis is coming for the rest of America—and the time to learn, organize, and build the relationships needed to defend democracy is now. Dr. Matthew D. Taylor is a visiting scholar at the center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University. His book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024), tracks how a loose network of charismatic Christian leaders called the New Apostolic Reformation was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection and is currently reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. Taylor is also the creator of the audio docuseries Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic Reformation. Rev. Susan Hayward: was until recently the lead on the US Institute of Peace's efforts to understand religious dimensions of conflict and advance efforts engaging religious actors and organizations in peacebuilding. She has conducted political asylum and refugee work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Advocates for Human Rights. Rev. Hayward studied Buddhism in Nepal and is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. www.axismundi.us Executive Producer: Dr. Bradley Onishi Producer: Andrew Gill Original Music and Mixing: Scott Okamoto Production Assistance: Kari Onishi Learn more about your ad choices.

In his opinion piece published in Al Jazeera, titled “Here's Why Israel Is Allowing Record Murder Rates in Its Palestinian Towns,” Dr. Neve Gordon argues that the crime epidemic within Palestinian communities inside Israel is not merely a failure of governance, but part of a broader political strategy. He contends that the state has effectively allowed violence to escalate while simultaneously weaponizing accusations of anti-Semitism to intensify Jewish fear. Gordon characterizes this dynamic as a form of “demographic engineering.” Dr. Neve Gordon is a Professor of International Law at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of "Israel's Occupation" and co-author of "The Human Right to Dominate."

Benedict Spence, conservative commentator, and Baroness Claire Fox, independent peer and director of the Academy of Ideas, discuss how the ECHR is causing more illegal migrant hand-outs in court. High court judges ruled that the police seizure of asylum seekers' phones amounted to a violation of European Human Rights Law, in contravention of article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights. Article eight outlines the right to a private and family life. The phones were seized as the migrants came to the country, enabling the police to gather evidence about any contact between them and people smuggling gangs. So far, an average of £6,500 per person has been paid to compensate migrants. 70 migrants have been paid. It is feared the total bill could run into the millions, as more migrants who have had phones seized make claims. Reform MP Robert Jenrick called the decision to compensate boat migrants a ‘farce'. Also: proposals to ban social media for U16s - including a potential ban on virtual private networks, used to circumvent the Online Safety Act. The news that the Home Office doesn't know how many migrants are pretending to be children, The case of a Filipino migrant who was funded to change sex by the NHS - before being given the right to stay in the UK,And the think tank that has propelled Keir Starmer's rise to power - Labour Together - using a PR firm to smear journalists investigating their funding.

In this powerful and deeply moving interview on Refocused Network, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Zolal Habibi — a fearless Iranian-American human rights activist with over 25 years of dedicated work amplifying the voiceless inside Iran.Zolal's story begins with profound personal loss: at a young age, she witnessed the regime murder her father, a respected writer and political dissident, during the horrific 1988 massacre of political prisoners. That tragedy ignited an unshakeable commitment — choosing not a medical career, but a lifelong path to bring freedom and justice to Iran.https://ncr-iran.org/She shares raw insights into:The pivotal role of women's leadership and empowerment in dismantling tyranny and misogynyThe current climate inside Iran: the opposition and resistance movements (at home and abroad), ongoing protests, and human rights realitiesIran's geopolitical threats: terrorism, warmongering, and nuclear ambitionsWhy the voices of political prisoners, dissidents, and freedom-seekers must be heard on the global stageAs someone rooted in both Iranian heritage and American perspective, Zolal bridges understanding in ways that resonate deeply — offering hope, clarity, and a vision for real change.This conversation is a reminder that one person's courage can ripple into movements that reshape nations. If stories of resilience, purpose, and fighting for what's right move you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with human rights attorney and writer Sari Bashi about her new memoir, Upside-Down Love: A Memoir in Two Voices, came out in English in January. Upside-Down Love tells the story of how Sari, an Israeli-American human rights attorney, created a shared life with her husband, a Palestinian professor from Gaza who is based in the West Bank. Ahmed and Sari discuss Sari's experience of building and raising her Jewish-Palestinian family in the West Bank and the process of writing and publishing the memoir, which originally came out in Hebrew. They also talk about the moral and individual culpability of Jewish Israelis for genocide/warm crimes, the future of Israel/Palestine, and the state of human rights more broadly. Sari is a long-distance runner -- her relationship to freedom of movement is core to her human rights advocacy and a theme throughout the memoir --  and she and Ahmed, who is also a marathoner, discuss Sari's ultramarathons and the importance of running.  Sari Bashi is an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, the former program director of Human Rights Watch, the cofounder of the Israeli human rights organization Gisha, and the executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture-Israel (PCATI). She is a graduate of Yale Law School and has previously clerked on the Israeli Supreme Court. She has taught international humanitarian law at Yale Law School and Tel Aviv University. She has also been a Jerusalem correspondent for The Associated Press and has appeared on, and been interviewed by, major English-language outlets. She and Osama (a pseudonym) are married and living in the West Bank. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine.

The bid by the Prime Minister's Office to strike the word "massacre" from a bill on October 7 commemorations, and Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar's claim that the term evokes "victimhood," has sparked outrage. Avi Dabush, CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights and a resident of Kibbutz Nirim in the Gaza periphery, told KAN's Naomi Segal that Zohar's comments and the revision of the bill's title show the disconnect of the leadership from Israelis, and underscore the need for change. Dabush was barricaded with his family in the safe room of his home during the October 7th terrorist onslaught and then displaced for nearly two years. He returned to Nirim this past summer.

Our first Outlook guest of the year says: I think we're very poor at educating our population about what our government does and what it doesn't do and what our rights are and what they aren't. Late last year he made headlines after a ruling, his case covered by multiple media sources, but the sensationalisation of how much he was awarded in damages became the clickbait detail, in the end letting the company off the hook from having to truly address their discriminatory attitudes and practices. So, in the end, is this truly a win for workers with disabilities or society as a whole? We discuss seven modalities of learning and the benefits of learning braille for the brain and for future career development as we begin the show, with our first guest of 2026 and January, for Braille Literacy Month and our conversation with all three of us and long-time friend, Erik Burggraaf. (Happy ending spoiler, he now has a rewarding job in the federal government only after years of fighting with employers to be given a chance to prove he could do the work.) This week on Outlook we're speaking with our friend about his recent human rights case, a lawsuit win and the media coverage that has followed from his success plus the parts that don't feel like success even still. So how do you know what a legitimate grievance is? How do you know that you have a human rights complaint? Our guest for this one will share his experiences filing human rights cases. It took nearly a decade but Erik was awarded a settlement after proving he was discriminated against when applying for work at a company unable to prove they had exhausted every possible option for making their in-house software accessible and inclusive. Erik Burggraaf shares how those in positions of authority but with no lived experience discouraged him from exploring his full potential and extensive variety of interests as a young person, how he felt he learned more about his own rights from briefly being in the States than all the rest of his life (up until that point) as a Canadian living in the country of his birth, and how he can't imagine what life would be like now if he were to lose the job he currently has helping other federal workers receive the accommodations they need to continue to do the work in the positions they hold. He happily imparts his own knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, hard earned, with us and our listeners.

Is Housing a Human Right? The City of Akron, OH had a meeting about housing, and we discuss some of the details of their meeting, including how they believe that "People deserve housing whether they can afford it or not, whether they can maintain it or not". We also talk about property taxes and how you can dispute them if the values are too high. We also cover how to move up in socioeconomic class by 1.) Taking Responsibility, 2.) Accept things how they are (not how you wish they were or think they should be), and 3.) Think long-term. The government keeps forcing charity, but when they do it, there is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. Charity is best when it is local.  Join us as we tackle these large topics in this show!

New court filings give an inside look at the conditions inside the Whipple federal building, where many ICE detainees are being held in Minnesota. Lawyers from the non profit organization, Advocates for Human Rights, visited the facility early Monday after a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to let them inside. In a lawsuit, the attorneys allege that DHS is not allowing detainees to have access to legal counsel.  Reporter Matt Sepic has been following this story and joined Minnesota Now.

"Mountains to Cross: Finding Life's Purpose in Service" by best-selling author Dr. Abraham M. George is a true story about lifting people up and changing the direction of someone's life. After a successful career as an entrepreneur in the United States, Dr. George returned to his homeland in India and created opportunities for the most disadvantaged children, providing education, healthcare, and opportunities where there were none. He established a rural hospital for 15 villages, helped to eliminate leaded gas in much of the region, and founded a school for socially and economically distressed kids, with many of them going on to have successful lives where they are now giving back. Dr. George has written three books and is the recipient of numerous awards for Human Rights. He has dedicated his life to service, justice, and education, and lives by his mantra, "purpose over comfort." We'll talk about that, because he wants to inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and do the same. Please find my full conversation with Dr. George on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

With talk of an early UK election swirling, Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice joins Merryn Somerset Webb to make the case that his party is ready to govern. Tice argues that Reform UK, which is leading in the polls, is gearing up policy “working groups” and road-testing power in local councils. He claims day-one moves like serving notice to leave the European Commission on Human Rights, scrapping the Human Rights Act and abandoning a net-zero approach to global warming would help cut energy bills—while he hints at a broader reset for UK markets, pensions, regulation and crypto.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 2nd, 2026, Indonesia entered what officials are calling a "new era" of criminal justice. The country implemented a completely new Criminal code – KUHP - and a new Criminal Procedure Code—known as KUHAP—that changes what counts as a crime and how crimes are identified, investigated and punished. The government says this marks a shift toward "restorative justice" that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment. Officials describe it as "more humane, modern, and just". But civil society groups are sounding the alarm. They're calling the new law "draconian and illiberal"—and potentially worse than the system it replaces. At the heart of the controversy: police can still arrest and detain people without a warrant and Amnesty International has identified 88 articles that could be used to silence critics and criminalize peaceful dissent. So which is it? A historic reform that modernises the Indonesian justice, or a step backward that gives authorities concerning new powers? In this episode, we're speaking with a legal expert who's been following this law since its drafting. Maidina Rahmawati has over 8 years of experience in criminal justice reform advocacy. She is a certified advocate/litigator and mediator, and currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR). Mai holds a Master of Laws from the University of New South Wales, specialising in Criminal Justice and Human Rights. She is newly appointed as a lecturer in Criminal Law and Human Rights at Atma Jaya University Jakarta and in Criminal Law in the undergraduate Criminology program at the University of Indonesia (UI).

Ethiopia: UN rights chief issues alert over ‘precarious' situation in Tigray In Sudan, sick and starving children are ‘wasting away': UNICEF, WHOCrypto is in but Least Developed Countries are missing out: UNCTAD

Nonprofit AI Check-in: Reclaiming Human Rights and Protecting Local CommunitiesIn this midweek check-in, Carolyn Woodard steps back from the technical "how-to" of AI to look at the "why" behind the ethical concerns many nonprofit leaders are feeling. This episode focuses on two significant areas where AI intersects with our core mission of serving others: the protection of basic human rights and the physical impact of the infrastructure that makes AI possible.First, we explore insights from human rights lawyer Malika Saada Saar on how we can reclaim AI to serve dignity and democracy rather than ceding it to companies that make a profit by exploiting sensitive and marginalized groups. Second, we look at the reality of the data centers powering these tools—specifically the environmental and economic pressures they place on local residents. Carolyn shares resources on creating Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs) with data centers as a path forward for local communities.Whether it's protecting a survivor's right to privacy or ensuring a local community has a say in how a data center is built, these are the human issues that will define how we use technology in the years to come.Featured ResourcesWebinar: Slow Violence, Fast Tech | Watch on YouTube In this 30-minute session from All Tech Is Human, human rights lawyer Malika Saada Saar discusses the "slow violence" of AI and how nonprofits can advocate for technology designed with consent and safety in mind, particularly for women, children, and marginalized communities.Report: Why Community Benefit Agreements are Necessary for Data Centers | Read at Brookings As data centers expand rapidly across the U.S., this Brookings Institution paper explains how "Community Benefit Agreements" (CBAs) can help local leaders and residents negotiate for transparency, environmental protections, and shared economic benefits.Community IT Resource: AI Ethics and Policy Webinar | View the Framework If you are ready to start moving from learning to doing, this webinar provides a practical framework for nonprofits to begin drafting their own AI use policies and start conversations around ethics.Next Step for Your OrganizationDoes your nonprofit have an AI ethics policy yet? If not, now is the perfect time to start the conversation with your leadership and board. You don't need to be a technical expert to advocate for your organization's values. We encourage you to use these resources to continue your education and ensure that your use of AI remains mission-aligned. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

The media mogul and prominent pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in Hong Kong for national security offences. His family has described the sentence as ‘heartbreakingly cruel', given the 78-year-old's declining health. Lai was convicted in December on charges of sedition and conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, after pleading not guilty to all charges.

For the first time in history, multiple countries have jointly nominated a candidate for UN Secretary General. Earlier this week, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico endorsed Michelle Bachelet—a former president of Chile, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a survivor of brutal repression under the Pinochet regime. The move is unprecedented—and potentially transformative. What does it signal about the race to replace António Guterres, and how soon might more rival candidates emerge? Anjali and Mark unpack what this coordinated nomination reveals about shifting power dynamics inside the UN. They then turn to the latest Epstein document dump, which has ensnared several prominent diplomats and sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world. Finally, they confront a looming institutional crisis: the UN's cash reserves are so depleted that even the viability of this year's UNGA is now being called into question.

Under what circumstances might climate change lead to negative security outcomes? Over the past fifteen years, a rapidly growing applied field and research community on climate security has emerged. While much progress has been made, we still don’t have a clear understanding of why climate change might lead to violent conflict or humanitarian emergencies in some places and not others. Busby develops a novel argument – based on the combination of state capacity, political exclusion, and international assistance – to explain why climate leads to especially bad security outcomes in some places but not others. This argument is then demonstrated through application to case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. This book will provide an informative resource for students and scholars of international relations and environmental studies, especially those working on security, conflict and climate change, on the emergent practice and study of this topic, and identifies where policy and research should be headed. [ dur: 38mins. ] Joshua Busby is a Professor of Public Affairs and a Distinguished Scholar at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law. He is the author of State and Nature the effects of climate change on security and many other publications. With protests rocking Iran, how much are these protests historically consistent with the long history of protests in Iran. We explore this history in light of the new round of protests How much more violent has the Iran state been against protesters?

He is the author of A History of Modern Iran and Inventing the Axis of Evil: The Truth About North Korea, Iran and Syria.

When people think of sit-ins, they think Greensboro. But the movement didn't start, or stop, there. This episode looks at how the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins inspired Atlanta's Black college students to challenge segregation in a city that called itself “too busy to hate.” From An Appeal for Human Rights to coordinated sit-ins across downtown, arrests under newly written laws, and the protests that landed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in jail. Atlanta's Student Movement reshaped the civil rights fight and even influenced a presidential election. Want to support this podcast?

Following Pope Leo's State of the World Address in January of 2026, the three American Cardinals who are also diocesan archbishops Cardinal Cupich (Archbishop of Chicago), Cardinal McElroy (Archbishop of Washington), and Cardinal Tobin (Archbishop of Newark)—in addition to Archbishop Broglio, the pastor of the US military—have been reminding the people of the United States that the American government is wrong to prop up the Venezuelan regime while sidelining its democratically elected leader, that it is wrong to withdraw aid from the global poor, that it is are wrong to covet Greenland and betray our NATO allies in a way that not only fails to oppose the ambitions of Putin and Xi Jin Ping but actually endorses their land-grabbing adventures. The United States is also wrong to use cruelty and chaos in the (otherwise lawful) enforcement of immigration rules. It's been a bad dream and difficult and disorienting to wake up from. Three professors from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut talk it over with me on Almost Good Catholics. They are theologian Dan Rober, chair of Catholic Studies, author of Recognizing the Gift: Toward a Renewed Theology of Nature and Grace, English professor Michelle Loris, founder and previous chair of Catholic Studies, also founder of the universities core seminars program, and Charlie Gillespie, director the university's Pioneer Journeys program, himself an expert on St. Augustine; his new book is about the theater, God on Broadway.
