Explore the ethical complexities of international lobbying in this video as we scrutinize Bret Boyles, co-chair at Squire Patton Boggs, a prominent DC-based law firm. In 2016, Boyles took on the role of a foreign agent for Saudi's Center for Studies and Media Affairs, a move that has sparked controversy.

Delve into the Center's contentious history, marked by allegations of intimidating critics and sanctions related to Jamal Khashoggi's tragic murder. Ethical dilemmas emerge as Boyles not only advised but also actively lobbied for the Center, raising questions about the standards expected in lobbying practices.

Boyles, with a background in politics and lobbying, brings a wealth of experience to his role, but his association with the Center, funded by Saudi Arabia, faces serious ethical scrutiny. The Center has been accused of silencing dissent through threats, with implicated officials like al-Qahtani linked to Khashoggi's murder and women's rights abuses.

As we uncover Boyles' continued involvement and the substantial compensation received by his law firm from the Center, we address the challenges posed by accusations and sanctions. International law emphasizes the importance of businesses avoiding complicity in human rights abuses, and lobbying for entities connected to such abuses raises significant ethical concerns.

Boyles' role sheds light on the ethical dilemmas inherent in lobbying, sparking a debate on the responsibilities of both firms and individuals when advocating for entities with documented human rights violations. Join us in exploring the broader implications of such associations and the discussions surrounding the ethical landscape of international lobbying.
