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."
