Yugoslavia war crimes tribunal

11 May 2007 85
Strictly "The International Criminal Court of the former Yugoslavia", where we went to see Milosovich, in Den Haag. I still have the stamp – albeit on a piece of paper – in my passport. It was a clinical kind of place, but I still found it fairly moving to be at a place where all the things we'd seen and heard of in Kosova were finally being aired and, for a few people at least, drawn to a close.

Wish I'd caught this one sharper, but my excuse is that I only had the camera-phone with me and the lighting here was really subdued. I adored these straw giraffes in the United Nations gift shop.

Clean feet for health

In the United Nations there's an exhibition of paintings by children aged 7-13 from the Indigenous Community of Saint Rose of Huacaria, in the rainforest of the south-eastern Peruvian Amazon. They express what the children have learnt about health and hygiene — but it's fascinating that conservation themes like water preservation come into them again and again too. This one is my favourite. And apparently that's Quechua, not Spanish :)
