Mary Robinson.

Former president of Ireland Mary Robinson took the time during her Yale visit to speak with a reporter from WYBC. She described her work as U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights "a deep privilege but at times daunting."

Former U.N. official urges an ‘ethical globalization’

One of the most important questions facing the world today is “how do we build an ethical globalization which bridges the current divides between north and south, rich and poor, secular and religious?” said Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and former United Nations high commissioner on human rights, in a lecture on campus.

Robinson told a packed audience in the Law School auditorium that she had come to campus to “share some thoughts on human rights in this increasingly interconnected world.” Her talk, the 10th annual Coca-Cola World Fund at Yale Lecture, was titled “Building an Ethical Globalization” and was sponsored by the Yale Center for International and Area Studies, the Law School and the School of Management.
