    Human Rights Lawyer with 25 Years at the UN. Masters from Harvard and LSE. Here's What She Learned.

    Helena Nygren-Krug is a human rights lawyer who spent 25 years working for the United Nations, with master's degrees from Harvard and LSE. She's also my mum, and this conversation is the relaunch of The Alex Krug Podcast, released on her birthday. We talk about what human rights really are, why the right to health isn't a right to be healthy, whether whales and rivers should have rights, what the UN is (and what it should be), strongman politics vs. working together, and why hardwiring human rights into AI may be the number one priority right now.
