GSD Luncheon

Dr. Mukesh Kapila shares his insights on what it was like to preside over the genocide in Darfur, why and how he chose to speak up, and the inertia of institutional cowardice. Colum de Sales Murphy, President of the Geneva School of Diplomacy, seated at his right.

Spring flowers

I think it was worth it.
