When A Child Is A Better Advocate

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

This is a glimpse of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development in Rio (1992).

Children are increasingly used to advocate their own rights in international fora and in the field, as if we adults found it more and more difficult to face up to our responsibilities regarding them.

The speech is subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese. Some UN delegates are listening to interpretation in their own languages.

Be Like Zem, Learn French!

That was the conclusion of a speech by the French Sports Minister under the auspices of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry, before the 2007 Rugby World Cup, hosted and lost by France.

The video is here. By the way, French Ministries have websites and WebTV channels showing Meet the Press, official speeches and so on. A good way to get acquainted with French official life.
