Rights to the end

I spent quite some time in the Human Rights Council today looking for a priest. I was hoping for a confession – from him – as to why the Vatican has failed for 13 years to submit a key report on child rights to the UN. I didn’t find him.

However I did bump into Britain’s Bob Last, an able diplomat and witty observer of the ins-and-outs of the Council. I recommend you read his blog here: The Last Word
