'Aung San Suu Kyi has no clear moral compass'
Jody Williams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work towards the banning and clearing of land mines.
Along with four other female winners of the Peace Prize, she's signed a letter calling on Myanmar's de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, to take "moral and personal responsibility to defend the Rohingya people."
In her first interview since signing that letter, Ms Williams told Radio 4's World Tonight that when she met Aung San Suu Kyi in New York a few years ago, they had a hostile conversation about human rights. She said Ms Suu Kyi "didn't want to discuss them because she saw herself as a politician not a human rights activist".
