May 2021: CHINA, Avoiding the Big Challenges in the Security Council

China assumes the presidency of the UN Security Council for May,
trying to control the narrative around the Covid-19 pandemic,
Myanmar and human rights all in one month, in a packed agenda. In
this episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Rosemary Foot, an Oxford
professor who has recently published a book titled "China, the UN,
and Human Protection: Beliefs, Power, Image." We also talk with
Peter Irwin, a program officer at the Uighurs Human Rights Project,
a nonprofit defending the persecuted Muslim-minority Uighurs in the
province of Xinjiang, China. And stay tuned for a surprising May 17
session on "emerging technologies," which China has mysteriously
dropped into the calendar. Links: PassBlue's website:
