SUMMARY:Nigeria Update: Human Rights & Freedom of Speech Under Siege
DESCRIPTION:The Nigerian government’s recent ban on Twitter is the latest infringement on citizens’ ability to freely express dissent. The announcement also comes in the wake of citizen protests against excessive force by the police against the Nigerian people\, including violence perpetrated by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). \nAt the same time\, insecurity persists as attacks by Boko Haram insurgents continue to terrorize parts of the country. In spite of the onslaught\, Nigerian civil society remains vibrant and continues its attempts to hold the government accountable. \nWhat can human rights organizations and the international community do to defend human rights in Nigeria? What is the role of civil society to protect freedoms of speech and expression in the country? \nJoin the World Affairs Council of Atlanta in a discussion about Nigeria with Kehinde Togun\, Senior Director for Policy and Government Relations at Humanity United. Mr. Togun has led global democracy and governance programs in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa for much of the last 15 years. He will give us an update on the current situation in Nigeria and recent attacks on human rights\, civil liberties\, and free speech. \nOpen & Complimentary to all.

SUMMARY:American Perspectives on Transatlantic Data Flows
DESCRIPTION:ORGANIZED BY SCHELLER COLLEGE OF BUSINESS\, LAW AND ETHICS AREA \nCost: Free \nThe EU and the United States are at an impasse when it comes to transatlantic data transfers. After the invalidation of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield negotiators on both sides of the Atlantic are trying to find a way forward to guarantee privacy rights and enable transatlantic data flows. \nThis session featuring Peter Swire\, a leading U.S. scholar and former government official on these issues\, follows the Wilson Center’s June 24 discussion with Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems. Having heard perspectives from Europe\, the focus this time will be on U.S. perspectives. \nHow do U.S. views on privacy rights and data flows compare with European understandings? What might a “comprehensive deal” look like between the U.S. and the EU? What are the fundamental roadblocks and how can they be overcome? Has the appetite for stricter regulations increased in the U.S.? \nJoin Georgia Tech CIBER and Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business for a transatlantic conversation on July 1st at 10 AM ET/4 PM CET to discuss the broader implications of the EU-U.S. impasse on data privacy. \nKeynote Speaker\nPeter Swire\nProfessor of Law & Ethics\, Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business \n\n\n  \n\n  \nPanelists\nAshley Gorski\nSenior Staff Attorney\, ACLU \n  \n  \n  \nTheodore Christakis\nProfessor of European and International Law\, University Grenoble-Alpes \n  \n
