Event 2/12: Mary Robinson to speak at FSU Law

On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 4:00 pm ET, Florida State University College of Law will host and livestream its D’Alemberte & Palmer Lecture in International Human Rights on “The Rule of Law in International Human Rights.” The talk will feature former President of Ireland and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson as speaker.

This lecture will explore the recent diminishing civic participation, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression; share insights on what has contributed to this erosion of the rule of law; and propose solutions for restoring justice, accountability, and respect for human rights both nationally and globally. Drawing on her vast experience as a former head of state, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and advocate for climate justice, Robinson will discuss the vital role of leaders in strengthening governance systems that promote peace, sustainability, and human rights.
