O'Regan warns of authoritarian shift as she receives Bizos human rights award

Former South African Constitutional Court Justice Katherine O'Regan accepted the George Bizos Human Rights Award, using the platform to caution against a global drift toward authoritarianism. The award itself is a recognition of her judicial legacy, but her remarks signal concern over democratic backsliding, though no specific country or event is cited. This is a symbolic, opinion-driven development rather than a concrete policy or legal action.
