refers to my various professional activities during the first decade following my retirement from the United Nations in late 2019. It covers my ongoing engagement with respect to Palestinian refugees and the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and my work and writings related to organizational ethics, anti-corruption, and sexual misconduct.
It also features my two more personal passions: photography and Argentinian tango.
