He became head of its Africa desk and then, in 2004, head of research. “There are many pressing matters to attend to - Afghanistan, Moussa Kaka imprisoned in Niger and the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” Julliard said. “And our priority will be to become even more effective.” Aged 35, Julliard is married and has two children."
