(MENAFN- Swissinfo) So great were the shockwaves following the bombing, that when Kofi Annan called Louise Arbour to ask her to“replace Sergio” her first reaction was hesitancy. What's more Arbour had just begun serving as a judge on Canada's supreme court – not a position people normally leave after a few months.
