The Society for International Development-United States held its 2024 annual conference, with the theme “World in Crisis: Sparks of Hope.” In this middle portion of the event, a panel of pro-democracy advocates discussed elections and the importance of defending human rights defenders and anti-corruption activists from autocratic regimes. Claudia Escobar, former head of Guatemala’s court of appeals, was one of the speakers in this discussion. In 2024, more than 60 countries held elections.
