September 2021: How Tough Can IRELAND Be on Ensuring Women’s Rights in Afghanistan?

Ireland takes over the presidency of the Security Council in
September with Afghanistan still in crisis. Ambassador Geraldine
Byrne Nason discusses her country's commitment to Afghan women and
girls as the Taliban assume control of the country, and she shares
her plans for the month with the UN General Assembly high-level
week fast approaching. We are also joined by Rory Montgomery of the
Royal Irish Academy, a former diplomat. MUSIC CREDIT: 'Morrison's
Jig,' a traditional Irish folk song, is named for Irish-American
fiddler James Morrison, who recorded it in the 1930's. The original
composer is unknown. A jig is a lively Irish folk dance. Links:
