The event included participants from the Human Rights Office of the City of Nuremberg, the International Nuremberg Principles Academy, and the Nuremberg Human Rights Center. It explored the multiple roles played by State and societal actors in processes of democratic erosion and domestic and transnational human rights violations and discussed potential strategies for countering these trends. The discussion also explored
potentials for future collaborative efforts to counter the effects of autocratization.
