	Description:		Executive Director of New York-based Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth gives compelling evidence of the way some of the world’s greatest human rights violators are calling themselves democrats. And, he argues, it is the west’s willingness to “close one’s eye” to these regimes that allows them to do so. “What they get away with is this label of legitimacy and in many ways I guess the question to ask is: why do we let them?” – Kenneth Roth at Sydney Ideas For further info see this page: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2008/despot_masquerading_as_democrats.shtml
