He was a headline speaker at the event with other speakers. “The first piece of advice I would have from my experience is that governments need to be vocal about human rights,” He said. He suggested that protests be put down with “crowd control,” not with lethal force and that criticism of the political establishment be met with discussion rather than jail time.’

“I recommend communicating about human rights with integrity while still being vocal and consistent. Another piece of advice is ‘Be quick’. Governments need to be prepared to communicate transparently and freely,” he stated.
