From the crackdown on protesters in Hong Kong, to Myanmar’s brutal campaign against the Rohingya, to democratic backsliding in Thailand and the Philippines, to the detention of more than 1 million Uighurs in China, human rights and democracy in Asia are under attack. As the region faces significant challenges, it is vital that the United States and Japan work together as democratic allies to advance the rule of law, good governance, and universal rights across Asia.

Please join the Center for American Progress for a conversation with leading experts on how the U.S.-Japan alliance could play a key role in upholding human rights and democracy in the region.
