Dissidents from around the world gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to share their harrowing tales of survival and escape from authoritarian regimes. The Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy provided a platform for these brave individuals to shed light on the human rights abuses they have endured.
During the summit, UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer criticized the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for allowing some of the world's worst human rights violators to hold membership. Neuer highlighted the irony of oppressive regimes using their UNHRC membership as a shield to evade accountability for their actions.
