Join us on September 18th for a discussion featuring several prominent GNI
civil society, academic, and company members presenting their perspectives

Congressional review, bilateral "executive agreements," where s/he has
certified that potential partner countries meet certain criteria, including
regarding human rights.
Speakers include:
