Happy New Year from the UN Library & Archives Geneva!
This episode continues our conversations with Ambassadors to the UN in Geneva. Our Director, Francesco Pisano, is joined by the Permanent Representative of Costa Rica to the UN Geneva, Catalina Devandas Aguilar, who arrived in Geneva in late 2020.
She takes us on a fascinating exploration of the history of Costa Rica, its role in the region, and some of its main priorities today that can be examples for the rest of the world, from migration solutions to social protection, green policies and biodiversity, women’s participation, human rights and peace.
And, as one of a small number of countries without a standing army, she shares her assessment of Costa Rica’s experience at the UN today, and how the country’s commitment to peace influences its views on multilateralism and collective security.
