Happy weekend everybody!
I am trying to slowly get back into the habit of zeroing my Feedly by the weekend, so I started collecting some worhty blog posts to recommend during the week for you. Although I’ve taken quite long breaks between posts lately, this is actually the 250th Sunday Smack, believe it or not! I’d really like to revive it somehow, but I’m not making promises, just see how it goes.
Here is a small collection of good reads in the topic of world affairs/international law for this weekend!

I love Marie Forleo and loved the first time she interviewed Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn a couple of years ago. That was the fist time I’ve heard about the work they do and been a fan ever since. This conversation doesn’t disappoint either.
