Here at the @UN, I am reminded why I wanted to be an international lawyer and why it is a privilege to be the UK candidate for the @CIJ_ICJ.
It would be an even greater privilege to serve the Court as a judge and work together to help the ICJ meet the challenges before it today.
Thanks @BSNetherlands for having me as the Mystery Reader this week.
Highly recommend A Pizza With Everything On It by @kylescheele and @andyjpizza - best brush up on your astrophysics before reading to a class of 5-year-olds though

Interview out soon!
