Giovanni Bonello has retired from his posting as a judge at the European Court of Human Rights.

He talks to Kurt Sansone at the start of his sabbatical from a career that saw him plough through thick and thin.

Judge Bonello talks about the recent judgement that found former Labour Minister Lorry Sant guilty of breaching human rights, however no compensation was awarded to the heirs of the victim. He insists compensation should be a natural consequence of any such breach.

He also speaks about how he was let down by the post-1987 Nationalist government when it failed to appoint him to the European Court of Human Rights when a vacancy arose.

In the interview, Judge Bonello also talks about divorce and abortion.
