## Human Rights and Transnational Repression

Judith Abitan and Dawn Norris Doak will address the intersection of human rights and transnational repression, with examples drawn from Ms Abitan's work with the RWCHR and Ms Doak's cases at the FBI. From both a Canadian and US perspective, they'll discuss the role of universal jurisdiction and the impact of transnational repression on state sovereignty against the backdrop of the current geopolitical landscape.

### Speakers

- Judith Abitan, Executive Director, Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights.
- Dawn Norris Doak, former Special Agent, Behavioral Analysis Unit, National Security Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation.
