“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards on another in a spirit of brotherhood’. This is article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and my starting point each working day. Needless to say that there is still a lot of work to be done!”
