This online event — which will take place the same week as International Human Rights Day — will grapple with the impact of the ongoing Korean War on human rights and how peace can help advance human rights in the context of US-North Korea relations.
Sr. Tomás Ojea Quintana, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in North Korea, will provide introductory remarks. Women Cross DMZ Executive Director Christine Ahn will facilitate the panel discussion with Elizabeth Beavers, a national security and human rights attorney and advocate, and Su-mi Jeon, a South Korean human rights lawyer. The webinar will include an opportunity for audience Q&A.

This will be a jeopardy-style trivia night with contestants made up of PANYS student chapter organizers and student chapter alumni that are a part of the New Leadership Council (NLC). It will be a night of fun, trivia and even some shameless advertising by our NLC!
This trivia night is sponsored by the New Leadership Council, a group of PANYS Student Organizing alumni who are working to bridge the multi-generational gap in peace & justice organizing, through events like this and our newly-launched Mentor and Mentee program.
The night will be hosted by Matt McKenzie, the Former Student Organizer Engagement Fellow for this year. If you have any question please email matt.mckenzie@panys.org.
