Welcome to the ASIL Human Rights Interest Group's roundtable, “Black Lives Matter and International Human Rights Law: The Challenge of Systemic Racism.” This roundtable has two objectives. First, it will draw on diverse social science research to explore the origin and operation of systemic racism in the United States that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement. Second, the roundtable will analyze how international human rights law obligates states to address these systemic problems.
