Agnes Callamard: “We are falling into an abyss” | The InnerView
Amnesty Head Agnes Callamard tells Imran Garda that we are in the midst of a perfect storm, with global systems as we know them collapsing.
As the Secretary General of Amnesty International and former UN Special Rapporteur, Callamard has critiqued what she calls the UN Security Council's impotence, paralyzed by the veto power of its permanent members, and is calling for urgent UNSC reform.
In this episode of The InnerView, Callamard and Garda explore the dangerous implications of superpower clashes in 2024 and the widespread contagion of autocracy. The human rights defender gives her thoughts on whether the situation in Gaza amounts to genocide, and examines the reasons for the repeated failure to achieve a ceasefire.
