Doctors Without Borders founder now Foreign Minister of France
Interesting tidbit I picked up over at Jeff Weintraub:
[New Foreign Minister] Kouchner, on the other hand, is a veteran humanitarian and human-rights activist, a founder of Doctors Without Borders, the first UN Commissioner in Kosovo after the 1999 war, a strong proponent of international measures to prevent genocide and other mass atrocities, and one of the few important figures in French politics who supported serious international action against Saddam Hussein & his regime (long-time clients of France).I don't know much about French politics, but this seems to signal that France will be taking international human rights issues very seriously.
