On 11-12 October 2023, the Australian Human Rights Institute at UNSW Sydney hosted its biennial conference, Accountability in crisis: the rise of impunity as a challenge to human rights.
It brought together academics, journalists, politicians, activists, and business leaders to explore how a global pandemic, climate change, armed conflict and economic instability have triggered a parallel erosion of human rights and declining trust in democratic institutions.It will also consider how government, business, media and civil society operate to both undermine and bolster accountability.
The conference also included an academic workshop.
