#159 - How do I introduce Oscar Cabello, other than to say, he is a great Paraguayan…

Oscar is the former ambassador for Paraguay to Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia ,Greece, Italy, Spain, Morocco and Andorra. He was both the Chairman and Vice Chairman, for the UN Commission on Crime, and he is now, the current member of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

Oscar Cabello had never done a podcast before, and therefore it is my immense honour that I got to be his first time. 

The plan was to talk a bit about Paraguay and then a lot about his career and worldview when it comes to diplomacy, but we never quite got past Paraguay.

Such is his love for this country.
