Tamara Taraciuk Broner, director of the Peter D. Bell Rule of Law Program at the Inter-American Dialogue, spoke with Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on President Nayib Bukele's state of emergency and its impact on rights.  

Comments from Taraciuk Broner:

"I think it’s very serious how this is expanding throughout the region. You can explain it partly because insecurity is a huge concern throughout the region, and also because there is no alternative narrative out there that is democratic, within the boundaries of the rule of law, that can also address and provide results in terms of insecurity."
