2026 Event Invitations

This panel brings Abduweli Ayup into conversation with Access Now’s Isedua Oribhabor and Peter Micek.

What does it mean to engineer atrocities without killing everyone?

Abduweli Ayup, writer, linguist, and chronicler of the Uyghur crisis, joins human rights and tech experts from Access Now, Isedua Oribhabor, and Peter Micek to examine how China's surveillance state has weaponized AI, biometric data, and algorithmic policing to erase a people from the inside out.

The Human Rights Fulcrum: Using Environmental Rights As Leverage For Change, Rebecca Bratspies

Pace International Law Review

“Give me a lever long enough and a firm place on which to stand and I will move the earth." That is how Archimedes famously described the power of levers and the possibility they create for moving something that otherwise seems immovable. His point was that with the use of distance, a fulcrum, and a lever, nothing is really immovable. This same characterization has been applied to human rights law, and its attempts to disrupt patterns of structural dispossession, discrimination and oppression that bedevil human society. Indeed, the metaphor that human rights are a lever for change is relatively common …

This article considers the question of how Indigenous rights, …
