Tequila Talk with Ken Roth Executive Director of Human Rights Watch. HRW is one of the largest human rights organizations in the world, which conducts fact-finding investigations into human rights abuses in over 80 countries. Mr. Roth will discuss the direct impact of the drug war on Mexican society and the nexus between drugs, security and human rights, including whether human rights concerns should be a reason to curtail funding that supports Mexico?s fight against drug cartels (e.g. Merida Initiative).A graduate of Yale Law School and Brown University, Mr. Roth was drawn to the human rights cause by his father's experience fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938. He began working on human rights after the declaration of martial law in Poland in 1981, and soon became deeply engaged in fighting military repression in Haiti. In his years as executive director, Human Rights Watch has quadrupled in size, while greatly expanding its thematic and geographic reach.
