The United States was once considered one of the world leaders in promoting human rights by funding and engaging in multilateral institutions such as the UN Human Rights Council.

Furthermore, Covid-19 and government responses worldwide also pose another threat to human rights. What will the future of human rights be? Stay tuned to listen to H.E. Michelle Bachelet Jeria, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and former President of Chile, to discuss this question.
