I learned a great deal about the decline in Britain's authority at the world body. I observed more than a few minutely raised eyebrows, if the British Foreign Secretary's name came up. His propensity to use racist epithets was widely known. In this multilateral forum, in an age in which media articles have a global reach, Mr Johnson and his writings offered useful support for Mauritius.

Couldn't agree more, Chris - I have been wanting to read Sands for quite some time, and this was a very thoughtful Christmas present. So topical, thinking of the current disruption and violation of the post WWII international legal order.

Murray, it is a quote from Sands - I am sorry for causing confusion about that, the box to post an update is too small to duly clarifying that :(
