    The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide insights and policy solutions to decision-makers.

The HRI brings together key actors in a cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach, seeking to catalyze game-changing solutions to the most pressing global human rights challenges. Expected areas of research and analysis in 2022 include the impact of technology on human rights, effective regulation of supply chains to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering U.S. markets, and the role of human rights in maintaining healthy democratic systems in the United States and around the world, among issues.
