The son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany just before the war began, Kenneth Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane governments could be. As the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch for three decades, he dedicated his life to investigating and uncovering abuses across the globe – and pressuring offending governments to stop them. He travelled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf: he arrived in Rwanda shortly after the genocide; scrutinized the impact of Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait; investigated and condemned Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians. He directed efforts to curtail the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims, to bring Myanmar’s officials to justice after the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, to halt Russian war crimes in Ukraine, even to rein in the U.S. government. Roth has grappled with the worst of humanity, taken on the most ruthless oppressors of our time, and persuaded leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts.
