The Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things in Ukraine | Oleksandra Matviichuk | TED
How do we defend people’s freedom and dignity against authoritarianism, when the “law of war“ doesn’t seem to apply anymore? In the face of the Russian occupation of Ukraine, human rights lawyer and Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk considers this question every day. Exposing the failures of the international system of peace and security, she highlights the capabilities of ordinary people during extraordinary times — and urges us all to take an active position in the struggle for freedom. (This talk contains graphic descriptions.)
