This is a classic profile feature. Buergenthal is a fascinating man with an extraordinary history and so one can't really go wrong when making a piece on his life. So, just for the content of this programme I would have given a four rating. The final rating is less because I just felt that the presentation could have been a little more imaginative. I would have preferred to have heard a straight interview which would have created a warmer and more intimate connection. Instead, the listener is felt detached from Buergenthal because his words have been edited between rather stodgy links.

Also, the The International Court of Justice in The Hague is hinted at at the beginning of the programme and then disappears without a trace. A shame because if anyone belongs in such an important legal institution it's Buergenthal. A marriage of true minds with no impediment.
