He said whole world is facing "an unprecedented human rights crisis." He urged that criticism of ruling systems be met with dialogue, not prison terms, and that protests be met with "crowd control," not bullets.
"My advice to you is not only to be vocal and consistent, but also to be principled in communications about human rights. The fourth suggestion I have is to be quick," He said. "Governments must be prepared to be transparent and get their message out first."
