UN Secretary-General António Guterres is in town as the Human Rights Council begins again in Geneva. He's shared personal messages this morning and we've also heard from High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein on "reckless political profiteers" threatening the human rights gains made in the last 70+ years.

Syria talks continue at the Palais des Nations and Daniel gives us an overview of what's happening there.

Finally, in terms of cultural events that are open to the public, you can find an art exhibition tackling the difficulties faced by early adolescent pregnancy around the world - called #childmothers. The exhibition builds on the real-life experiences of 20 young mothers from seven countries including Bangladesh, Colombia, Haiti and Zambia. The exhibit features the work of acclaimed photographer Pieter ten Hoopen.

“When a young girl becomes pregnant, her entire life changes completely and rarely for the better...”

The exhibit will be on until the 17 March 2017.

They call into question the global equality of opportunity for prosperity.
