Has the protection of human rights gone out of fashion? | Inside Story

Описание: The global institutions meant to safeguard a rules-based order and respect for international law are in peril. Amnesty International is raising the alarm, saying the system is failing. This time around, Donald Trump has made it clear he intends to write his own rules, leaving the rest of the world unsure of where it stands. Leaders are gathering at the Munich Security Conference, where they'll discuss the most stubborn ongoing conflicts. Is the idea of mutually agreed rights and wrongs becoming irrelevant? And what does Trump's 'America First' agenda mean for the future of our international institutions?
