Global order depends not only on a stable balance of power but also on some baseline agreement among nations on fundamental principles, norms, and rules of conduct. We will analyze major points of convergence and divergence among established and emerging powers in their visions of world order, as well as strategies to expand voice and representation from the Global South in international institutions.
Please join us for a conversation with Michèle Taylor, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, and Sarah Yager, Washington Director at Human Rights Watch. Carnegie Senior Fellow Stewart Patrick, Director of the Global Order and Institutions Program, will moderate the discussion.
