Building a political strategy for advancing human rights requires an understanding of how rights intersect with politics, governance, and legitimacy under real-world constraints.

Security and human rights communities are grappling with the same challenge from different perspectives: how can societies respond to evolving threats while preserving the values and institutions that underpin democratic legitimacy and human dignity?

This Wilton Park dialogue is part of a series of convenings by Nous: Powering the Future of Human Rights, a special initiative of the Colmena Fund, which will bring together practitioners from a wide range of countries and professional domains for an in-depth discussion on the interplay of security and human rights considerations in the current geopolitical environment.
