Atrocity Prevention in the Biden-Harris Administration: Part I
In Part I of our two-part series, we ask our guests to help us understand what we may expect, and what we could hope for, as the Biden-Harris administration responds to increased global atrocity risks and damaged international relationships. We will look specifically at the global challenges facing the new administration, and ways forward in reconstructing the country's global atrocity prevention mechanisms.
