Human Rights Council enters its final week with updates and debates on Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Haiti, Libya, Ukraine, Sri Lanka. Daniel Johnson explains these talks and what the process is this week.
There are two exhibitions this week.
Lumières d’Afriques by African Artists for Development (NGO)
Featuring art from all 54 countries in Africa – including one from Ghana's Paa Joe which is a giant light bulb with a hidden twist! We spoke to curator Jean-Michel Champault and artist Freddy Tsimba, representing the Democratic of Congo, who is famous for using recycled materials in his work, including spent bullet cases. He says that his country’s mineral riches have not helped it to develop.
