Co-sponsored by The Cooper Union, PEN Children's Book Committee, and Polish Cultural Institute
Panel with Arn Chorn-Pond, Debby Dahl Edwardson, Wojtek Jagielski, and Patricia McCormick, moderated by Susanna Reich.
What are the rights of children? What is our responsibility, as citizens of the world, to defend them? A uniquely qualified panel of authors and activists, including Khmer Rouge Genocide survivor Arn Chorn-Pond, discuss the global state of children's rights. Drawing on both scholarship and personal experience, in this "Year of Janusz Korczak," commemorating 70 years since the children's rights pioneer perished at Treblinka with his charges from the Warsaw Ghetto orphanage, the panel will explore the history of the Children's Rights Movement and how past atrocities can inform contemporary advocacy on local, national, and global scales, paying particular attention to ongoing violations in Uganda by the Lord's Resistance Army.
The panelists took questions from the audience.
