UNHCR votes for independent investigation into abuses

The United Nations Human Rights Council has said that violations have been committed by both sides in the conflict, and they may amount to crimes against humanity. Ethiopia dismissed the decision to open an independent investigation into abuses, as politically motivated. 

Also in the programme: Elon Musk is announced as Time magazine’s Person Of The Year, and legislative council elections in Hong Kong.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Anna Machin, British evolutionary anthropologist, writer and broadcaster and Marc David Baer, professor of international history at the London School of Economics.
