Topics
Freedom of Speech: Defending Expression from Courtrooms to Code
Around the world, governments are weaponizing laws meant to protect national security, prevent hate speech, or curb misinformation — turning them instead into tools to silence journalists and dissent. Drawing from her latest book, Freedom of Speech in International Law, Amal Clooney examines how international legal standards define, protect, and constrain freedom of expression in the digital age. She explores how states, courts, and social media companies share responsibility for upholding these rights and offers a roadmap for reform that bridges the gap between law and practice. Through case examples and legal insights, Clooney challenges policymakers, business leaders, and advocates to reimagine how free expression can be safeguarded amid rising authoritarianism and an evolving information landscape.
Closing the Justice Gap: Legal Pathways to Women’s Empowerment
Across the globe, women are still denied justice — facing violence, discrimination, and legal systems that too often fail to protect them. Drawing on her work as Co-Founder of the Clooney Foundation for Justice and her experience representing survivors of war crimes and gender-based violence, Amal Clooney explores how international law can be used to advance women’s rights and dismantle systemic inequality. She highlights real cases of courage and change, from victims of sexual violence in conflict zones to advocates fighting child marriage and economic discrimination. With urgency and optimism, Clooney outlines how governments, courts, and communities can work together to secure true equality under the law.
