Human Rights: Conversations Across Generations

Our Father-Daughter Duo: Harold & Emily Koh (Part 2)


Listen Later

Welcome back for Part 2 of our special series with the father-daughter duo, Professor Harold Koh and Emily Koh!

Having explored the foundations of Harold’s legal career and family legacy in Part 1, this episode focuses on the critical challenges facing human rights and democracy today. We start with a powerful reflection on Harold's father and his unwavering commitment to the Rule of Law, made at great personal cost.

Professor Koh then discusses his recent work, including his book, The National Security Constitution in the 21st Century, where he analyzes the existential dangers of executive unilateralism and offers his strategy for defending constitutional checks and balances.

Harold and Emily share their inspiring thoughts on finding hope and the essential need to keep "marching" in the fight for human rights.
