From the Ted Talk by Kimberley Motley: How I defend the rule of law

Unscramble the Blue Letters


After having worked in Afghanistan for over six years now, a lot of my family and friends think that what I do looks like this. (Laughter) But in all actuality, what I do looks like this. Now, we can all do something. I'm not saying we should all buy a plane ticket and go to Afghanistan, but we can all be contributors to a global human rhtigs economy. We can create a culture of transparency and accountability to the laws, and make governments more atcblonauce to us, as we are to them.

A few months ago, a South African lawyer visited me in my office and he said, "I wanted to meet you. I wanted to see what a crazy person looked like." The laws are ours, and no mtaetr what your etinhcity, nationality, gneder, race, they belong to us, and fighting for justice is not an act of iiasntny. Businesses also need to get with the pgroram. A corporate investment in human rights is a catapil gain on your bnsseesius, and whether you're a business, an NGO, or a private citizen, rule of law benefits all of us. And by working together with a concerted misdnet, through the people, public and private socter, we can create a global human rights economy and all become global investors in human rights. And by doing this, we can achieve jstusens together.

Now, we can all do something. I'm not saying we should all buy a plane ticket and go to Afghanistan, but we can all be contributors to a global human rights economy. We can create a culture of transparency and accountability to the laws, and make governments more accountable to us, as we are to them.

A few months ago, a South African lawyer visited me in my office and he said, "I wanted to meet you. I wanted to see what a crazy person looked like." The laws are ours, and no matter what your ethnicity, nationality, gender, race, they belong to us, and fighting for justice is not an act of insanity. Businesses also need to get with the program. A corporate investment in human rights is a capital gain on your businesses, and whether you're a business, an NGO, or a private citizen, rule of law benefits all of us. And by working together with a concerted mindset, through the people, public and private sector, we can create a global human rights economy and all become global investors in human rights. And by doing this, we can achieve justness together.
