Monday, March 8, 2021 10:30 am | Free Live Webinar  Freedom House’s annual report, Freedom in the World, assesses the condition of political rights and civil liberties around the world. Its next report, to be published on March 3rd, will examine the long-term democratic decline in political rights and civil liberties across the globe. This event will launch the Latin America findings of Freedom House’s latest report, highlighting positive and negative changes, and why different countries are diverging. Freedom House and FIU experts will examine trends in political freedoms in Latin America in the global context, discussing the causes and potential consequences of the shifts being seen, and what needs to be done to protect positive shifts and prevent further decline elsewhere.   PANELISTS Alessandra Pinna Senior Program Manager, Latin America and Caribbean Program Freedom House Amy Slipowitz Research Manager, Freedom House Luis Guillermo Solis Former president of Costa Rica and Director of the Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center, FIU Pedro Vaca Inter-American Commission on Human Rights' Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, Organization of American States (OAS) Moderator: Martin Palouš  Director of the Václav Havel Program for Human Rights and Diplomacy, FIU        Co-sponsored by Freedom House/Latin America and Caribbean Program Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center Jack D.
