On December 1, the Transatlantic Relations Program held an off-the-record dinner and discussion at the Law Society in London with Parosha Chandran, human rights barrister with 1 Pump Court Chambers.

Ms. Chandran addressed persistent challenges she faces in human trafficking cases in the UK and the role that international law can play in assisting human trafficking victims. The dinner served as a capstone to the first day of the Council’s Transatlantic Dialogues on International Law workshop at Chatham House in London. The lively dialogue was graciously hosted by Christian Fleck, managing director of LexisNexis UK & Ireland and moderated by Atlantic Council board director William H. Taft IV.

Parosha Chandran is an award-winning human rights barrister at 1 Pump Court Chambers in London. She acts for both adult and child victims of trafficking in the UK and is a leading specialist in the areas of forced labor law and human trafficking for sexual and labor exploitation.
