Mary RobinsonThursday 22 August 2002
Former Irish President Mary Robinson is about to leave her post as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Mary Robinson joins Martha to talk about the passion and the frustrations of her role. She looks back on five years of standing up to bullies on the world stage and of forging a path for women's rights.
As she looks to the future, we ask what really lay behind her decision not to stay on in this high-profile post.
