Mary Robinson, UNHCHR, in NYC

Few names are so closely connected with the cause of human rights as that of Mary Robinson. As former President of Ireland and more recently United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, she was ideally positioned for passionately and eloquently arguing the case for human rights around the world. Over five tumultuous years that included the tragic events of 9/11, she offered moral leadership and vision to the global human rights movement.

In celebration of the release of a new published collection of her speeches, A Voice for Human Rights, Mary Robinson will be appearing at the following:

Columbia University, Jan. 23, noon

United Nations Book Shop, Jan. 24, 1 pm
