It includes Michael Kirby’s closing plenary address at the Commonwealth Law Conference in Glasgow, Scotland on Thursday, 16 April 2015 on the topic: ‘’The Commonwealth of Nations – Bound to Disappoint? ‘’. It also includes part of a Q & A session that followed the plenary address when the speaker was tackled by a delegate from Nigeria and responded with a rendition of the old Nigerian national anthem (‘’ Nigeria We Hail thee!’’). The address concerns the failures of the Commonwealth Secretariat to respond effectively to human rights challenges and the failure to implement the recommendations of the Eminent Persons Group, of which the speaker was a member 2010-11.
