HKS, Kenneth Roth, and the Message to Human Rights Defenders

A comment by HRP Director Gerald L. Neuman

"It was shocking to learn that the Kennedy School had vetoed the appointment of Kenneth Roth, a towering figure in human rights advocacy, as a fellow at the Carr Center.  Roth led Human Rights Watch for three decades before stepping down in 2022.  More shocking was the reported reason — retaliation for criticism of Israel by Roth and his NGO."

In his most recent blog post, HRP Director Gerald Neuman provides a brief critical comment on the Harvard Kennedy School’s veto of the fellowship of Kenneth Roth at the Carr Center. You can find the full blog post here.
