Twenty years ago, when I was a barrister and human rights lawyer in full-time legal practice in London, and the highest court in the land still convened, some would say by an accident of history, in this building here, I met a young man who had just quit his job in the British Foreign Office.
Há 20 anos, quando eu era advogado e defensor dos direitos humanos e trabalhava em tempo integral com o direito em Londres, e a mais alta corte de justiça do país estava reunida, alguns diriam por um acidente da história, neste prédio aqui, conheci um rapaz que tinha acabado de largar o emprego no British Foreign Office.
