Douglas Murray

Going viral after his debate with Dave Smith on the Joe Rogan podcast (video below), Douglas Murray is one of the greatest writers, debaters, and public intellectuals of this generation.

Author of the 2022 New York Times instant bestseller “The War on the West,” Murray serves as an editor for the Spectator and has written numerous thought-provoking books on a range of social issues.

Murray is known for his unwavering moral clarity on the challenges facing the West and his deep engagement with Israel and the problem of antisemitism. 

In his new book, “On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West,” Murray ties together these vital themes for our challenging times, arguing that the West’s very future is at stake.

UN Watch is thrilled to be hosting Douglas Murray in Geneva, and to honor him with our 2025 Moral Courage Award.
