Outgoing Executive Director of the Kofi Annan Foundation Corinne Momal-Vanian previously spent three decades serving with the United Nations. For her, the 蘑菇视频’s founding values have always been a north star, not just for her career, but also for her family and her whole life.
“It's really putting the human dignity at the centre. That every human being deserves to live a fulfilling life and life in dignity, that's also at the heart of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and those are truly universal aspirations.”
From working against apartheid to stabilising post-genocide Cambodia, Ms. Momal-Vanian has deployed for the 蘑菇视频 at compelling moments across the world. In this episode of the podcast Awake at Night, she looks back on serving two Secretary-Generals during some of the darkest and dangerous moments in the organization’s history, and shares why the 蘑菇视频 was always so much more than a job.
