Thanks British School (BSN) for having me as the Mystery Reader this week. Highly recommend A Pizza With Everything On It by Kyle Scheele and Andy J. Pizza - best brush up on your astrophysics before reading to a class of 5-year-olds though
Here at the United Nations, I am reminded why I wanted to be an international lawyer and why it is a privilege to be the UK candidate for the CIJ_ICJ. It would be an even greater privilege to serve the Court as a judge and work together to help the ICJ meet the challenges before it today.
Extremely proud moment as my husband Thomas Drew is announced to be the UKβs Ambassador to France starting later this year. π³π± π¬π§ π«π· Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office
