Description

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is charged with one of the noblest and most formidable challenges imaginable: promoting and protecting all human rights for all people.

What progress, if any, is being made on the global human rights agenda? How is the threat of terrorism -- and the need to fight it -- affecting the struggle to protect human rights everywhere? How should war crimes and possible genocide in places like Darfur be prosecuted?

These are just some of the questions discussed in this episode of the World Chronicle with Louise Arbour, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
