Award-winning Journalist Lindsey Hilsum in conversation with Professor Kingsley Abbott

On Thursday 15 May 2025, join award-winning journalist Lindsey Hilsum for an urgent discussion about war, peace and the threat to democracy, at the University of London. (Beveridge Hall, Senate House from 6:30pm-7:30pm).

She will be in conversation with international human rights lawyer and ICwS Director, Professor Kingsley Abbott.

Having recently reported from Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Sudan and maybe the most fractious front line of all - Washington DC - Lindsey has seen up close the crumbling of the international order.

As President Trump appears to increasingly align US policy with that of Vladimir Putin's Russia, what hope for Ukraine and Europe? Is the rule of law being systematically undermined in the USA itself and what impact does this have on the global stage? And can western journalists draw attention to neglected conflicts when the news agenda is overwhelmed by seismic events in the US, Europe and the Middle East?
