Following resolutions on climate and COVID vaccine equity, this week’s show highlights why the UN’s top rights forum is more relevant than ever, according to outgoing President Nazhat Shameem Khan from Fiji, who has been overseeing the work of the Human Rights Council in Geneva for a year.
And, an appeal to “fight like hell” for vaccine equity, from the World Health Organization’s Maria Van Kerkhove.
