How should we as global citizens respond to the horrifying human rights abuses that saturate news headlines and social media posts? How do communication practices, the right to information, freedom of expression, and media and journalists function within the contemporary human rights regime? Examine human rights protections—against genocide, torture, enslavement, political persecution, gender violence, and climate displacement—and their violation through case studies from 1945 to the present.
