Human rights at a crossroads

22nd April 2013

  

Font size: - +

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has spent more than four decades dealing with the darker sides of humanity, including eight years on the International Criminal Tribunal in Rwanda after the genocide, and five years as a judge on the International Criminal Court. "Think of prisoners tortured in Guantanamo Bay, rightless Rohingyas in Myanmar and war crimes in Syria. Then think of the right to a fair trial, the right to freedom of speech and the right to live a life of security, free of fear. Governments around the world are obligated by law to protect these and other fundamental freedoms. But what happens when governments don’t comply? Who decides which rights are more important than others?

Al Jazeera's South 2 North anchor Redi Tlhabi speaks to Pillay about these and other issues.
