Sr. Tomás Ojea Quintana, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in North Korea, will provide introductory remarks. Women Cross DMZ Executive Director Christine Ahn will facilitate the panel discussion with Elizabeth Beavers, a national security and human rights attorney and advocate, and Su-mi Jeon, a South Korean human rights lawyer. The webinar will include an opportunity for audience Q&A.
All are welcome. Sponsored by the Resist Militarism Taskforce of the WNY Peace Center.
