We need leaders who see past their own interests | Centre Stage

In this episode of Centre Stage, our guest is President Natasa Pirc Musar. The trailblazing leader of Slovenia who became the country’s first female president — and did it without the backing of a political party. She’s had a diverse career as an attorney, journalist and former information commissioner.
A staunch advocate for human rights, President Pirc Musar talks about Slovenia’s recent recognition of Palestine, and why a reform of the UN Security Council is needed.
