In this opening session of the 2023 Australian Human Rights Institute conference, Accountability in crisis: the rise of impunity as a challenge to human rights, the panel considers the key conference theme of the elevation of impunity over accountability and the consequences for national democratic institutions and global stability.
Accountability and its corrosion is explored through the lens of government, business, media and civil society. The discussion considers whether checks, balances and human rights are seen as obstacles to the exercise of power rather than principles of good governance.
Speakers:
Jeremy Heimans (moderator), co-founder and Chairman, Purpose
Chris Sidoti, international human rights consultant
Lenore Taylor, Editor, Guardian Australia
Saffron Zomer, Executive Director, Australian Democracy Network
Presented by Australian Human Rights Institute, UNSW Sydney
