This talk of Albert Frantz at the Diplomatic Council session on the Geneva Peace Week is a personal story of international adoption, reproductive technology, and how a family torn apart by domestic violence intensified the search for identity. Albert Frantz argues that identity is a fundamental human right protected by the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child and that laws need to fully honor both nature and nurture.
