revocations and other means we pledge to hold the regime and those probably going up accountable for their corruption and their repression of democracy. we are deeply aware of the recent intimidation tactics used by the majority regime this past thursday the dodo should know we are watching and our support will not waver well as. his life for is in a. fiery form there what else did he have to say in those remarks. well he spoke about their humanitarian crisis inside venezuela he spoke about meeting with have been a swell migrants and refugees who are here in colombia he referenced to one of them by name my mother called general do the same and geraldine who upon pale said has been travelling to colombia now more than twenty. for basic medicines that

her children even that taylor said they would be readily available in normal circumstances even inside a normal country which evidently doesn't think that that's the case with venezuela right now he also paraphrased the former u.s. president ronald reagan and his fight against communism he he he called on the douro paraphrasing regen saying my view of mr mcdougal open these bridges open these border do something for your people this was of course the last leg of a strip so what he did here with focus on the humanitarian crisis he insisted on the aid that the u.s. has same here to the border with venezuela asking the dealer to let this aid in what he didn't mention though is the fact that the things that's changed since the

beginning of this standoff on aid between venezuela and the united states since then my daughter has recognized that there is a humanitarian crisis inside the venous well and that's why he made a deal with the international committee of the red cross and the red crescent to begin a huge a very large relief effort in coming weeks inside the country and i listen to what exactly has the u.s. chains with this trip. well what we've seen in the last four days was traveling to. send to riots a right wing countries that are allies of the united states in south america and this was a way to maintain the momentum the pressure against the government. and the support for the leader of the authorization which the united states and these other

countries recognized as. president. venezuela so that was in many ways the reason for. trip and also it's very symbolic of course you see him walking on the bridge uniting venezuela with. the other side we saw supporters of president nicolas in my little waving flags telling. to leave and. he was just here to intimidate the venezuelan so i guess that the united states will see this as a success the fact that its allies are supporting the u.s. efforts to try and house president nicolas maduro the question of course is if this will do anything to actually push my daughter out of office or if this stalemate will continue. to leave it there but thank you very much. yes he's speaking to us

ilhan omar trump selectively course it omar making it look like she was downplaying the nine eleven attacks. certainly the president is wishing no ill will and certainly not violence towards anyone but the president is absolutely and should be calling out the congresswoman for her not only one time but history of anti-semitic comments the bigger question is why aren't democrats doing the same thing it's absolutely a poor of the comments that she continues to make and has made and they look the other way i find that what her comments to be absolutely disgraceful and unbefitting of a member of congress and i think that it's a good thing that the president is calling her out for those comments. from washington john hendren takes us through the full story. it was a provocative trump tweet critics say went too far president donald trump on

as the headline news continues after inside story. getting away with murder and how do we ensure those who commit atrocities face justice there was an international court for war crimes and human bites violations boss more and more perpetrators are escaping punishment so how can we hold them to account this is inside story.

i don't welcome into the program i'm in the murder war crimes crimes against humanity including genocide these a some of the worst atrocities on the international law from conflicts to the persecution of minorities because of religion or ethnicity the world is facing more instances of human rights violations and increasingly the people responsible for getting away with them cut it was holding a two day conference on the issue attended by more than two hundred fifty representatives from the un you and various rights organizations they're discussing ways to ensure the perpetrators of such crimes don't escape justice and are held to account there are calls for the un to appoint a special repertoire to combat impunity the un's human rights chief says they can't be piece of those responsible for crimes don't face justice. society says the consulates are facing a stunning turn reading's must have their paper suppress reference to see firsthand

accounts of men women and children who have been subjected to remember horrific crimes massacres. sexual violence displacement separation deniers access to basic medical care to education we've asked the mayor to bring the perpetrators of this class to justice and to protect the victims victims have the right true justice on average. try to take sustainable peace on the conciliation this is a must al-jazeera is a solid job it has more from the conference and the. basic human rights and civil rights exist on the statutes of most countries in the world but human rights workers and activists say that they are constantly being pummelled upon a gathering of more than two hundred fifty representatives of non-government organizations as well as stakeholders from various parts of the world have gathered here in door to discuss efforts to try and end that impunity with which rights are floundered people here have been talking about rights of in combat zones in places

like syria and yemen to libya and other areas where there are sprouting sense of achievement by the people similar to what is happening in sudan and this is what the organizers have been telling us that they've been trying to achieve is to bring people under one roof where these ideas can be formulated into a framework which can be then presented to various human rights organizations in the world who can try and see how these basic rights can be given to the people and we've been hearing stories of frustration from activists from all over the world who say that yes there have been conferences but these tend to become echo chambers of similar voices and the people who are actually carrying out the violations of the. yes rights are never part of these conferences and that remains to be the challenge in not just conflict zones but other parts of the world where the right to assembly the right to free speech the right to housing or various other rights

are not being it had said this is what activists have been telling us that they want the world especially in the case of syria activists say that they want the world to take north of what its inaction has achieved and they want people to hold responsibility and then also people who have been violating these rights to be held responsible for inside story i was in doha let's take a look now at some recent cases the cia reportedly concluded that saudi crown prince mohammed bin salam all of the murder of journalists last october but u.s. president although trump has avoided implicating him saudi arabia has detained eleven people but none of them other close aides to bensalem alts want to be involved in killing saddam's deposed leader omar al bashir it has evaded two international criminal court arrest warrants over war crimes and the army says it won't extradite him to the hague syria's president bashar al assad has been accused

of war crimes in the eighty eight conflict but has ally russia has vetoed un resolutions to refer the matter to the i.c.c. . well let's bring in our panel now joining me in the studio is toby cadman international human rights lawyer and barrister at going to thirty seven that's an international law firm in beirut as rami who we professors of journalism at the american university of beirut and senior fellow at harvard kennedy school and also in the us from the conference is more. chief of the rule of law equality and nondiscrimination branch of the office of the u.n. high commissioner for human rights a very warm welcome to all of you. before we talk about more in more detail about those specific cases that we mentioned let me start with a general question to you why are we seeing a rise more human rights violations and war crimes and does impunity and the lack of accountability that mean that such crimes will only continue. let me

just start from perhaps a different point of view that. where you actually posed the question i'm not sure we are seeing more impunity actually we are seeing more awareness that human rights violations are taking place it's thanks to a book it's the civil society to human rights defenders a lot of special represent questions of inquiry very active human rights council view and human rights council that is why the knowledge of what is going on in the world and basically we are a lot more aware of what people are going through in different parts of the world where much more productive there's not much more information. flow and that for me gives us that is an urgency to deal with what we know the good story is that we have a framework we have

a framework we have all saw institutions that are in place and we can do something about it we need the political will we need the support to be able to move forward and that's actually is the responsibility for all members of the international community to make sure that this is happening ok so possibly not more crimes being committed but definitely more awareness of the ones that are so how do we take that awareness and hold people to account had been let's talk about some of the cases that we've already mentioned there are plenty of big cases of possible immunity impunity here rather and what can be done if we look at the most recent one the toppling of long time sudanese leader or the shia who's wanted for war crimes you know for his role in the deaths of millions of people and that for between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight the military who are now in charge in sudan have said they want to extradite him to the hague they will try

him what are the chances that omar al bashir will face a fair. trial and saddam was a big question that the i.c.c. is going to have to deal with now because as he's indicted by the i.c.c. the i.c.c. has jurisdiction but of course the i.c.c. operates under a principle complementarity as a law a court of last resort and so it is preferable that cases such as this all are tried to mystically in the place where the crimes were committed so as an advocate of justice not because of their rights i always want to see justice. in in the areas where the crimes were committed but it can be very difficult to put an individual such as on trial particularly during the the current situation with the with the military rule and whether there would be a sufficient legal and institutional framework in sudan to try him in a civilian court that would meet fair trial standards and that will be one of the

questions that the i.c.c. has to ask recent when that been put in the same position as far as libya is concerned and they allowed for a trial to go forward in libya most international lawyers such as myself thought there was an absolutely ridiculous situation and so i think they're going to have to look very very carefully at what legal institutional framework they have in place to put him on trial that there is not the death penalty and to what extent the international community will be able to support it i think the likelihood is that people will want to see him tried in the hague at the i.c.c. but it's quite clear that this the sudanese or thirty's currently in place are not going to hand him over and we also have to understand that the military rulers who are in place are part of a system that have committed crimes over a lengthy period of time and so they're not going to want to see him hand them to the i.c.c. and so that's that's also

a problem. mr cody i want to bring you in in on this i know that you watch events in the region very closely how do you see what's unfolding in sudan envenomation to or. and will what happens to him depend on whether the military stays in power or a civilian government is a mountain those two things will be important and the great dynamic that's taking place right now in algeria and in sudan is a historic unprecedented and really pivotal moment when millions and millions of citizens are peacefully trying to actually put into practice the principle of the sovereignty of the people in the consent of the governed. the governance of the arab world for the last fifty years or so has been dominated by security and military services and this is what these uprisings have been all about they started eight years ago and now they've reached a dramatic moment again and. and so that if you can get

a genuine civilian legitimate accountable participatory and democratic and for listing governance which is what the people want there's a possibility that we can then re furbished our judicial system and allow for really high quality accords of international standards the likelihood of that is there but it's going to take a long time in the meantime the real problem we have with the i.c.c. in the international system is that it seems to be a kind of a new form of western imperialism or colonialism where basically these institutions are dominated by the permanent members of the security council the ultimately go back to the security council in most cases and the permanent members of the security council the great britain and the united states and france and russia are all actively at war in the middle east they're selling millions and billions of dollars of arms they're actively fighting in places like yemen and syria and other

places. so that libya the french and libya and so the idea that the r.c.c. will actually hold accountable people all over the world people level of justice is not a very realistic one unfortunately that's why it's been mostly populous african tyrants who have been put on trial with a couple from former yugoslavia so this is the problem that we see a kind of a double standard and it's not easy to see how almost her son bashir will be held accountable mr. cadman i do want to bring you in on this now because i know that you were you know you have a lot to do with the i.c.c. but before i do mr shaunie what do you make of that you know the fact that. the i.c.c. and who has power and the international criminal court make up the permanent members of the u.n. security council who are also involved in different conflicts around the world including arming conflicting parties well perhaps is that is

known only three members of the security permanent members of the security council are members of their own statute and there are two important members the u.s. and russia which are not part of the old structure and that's a problem and that itself doesn't and that that's a problem in itself as into the united states that china russia and members of the international criminal court. yes i think that that that is then issue but as we know universal three theory is fine for them to be taught the universe though and totally and this is the this is of course very important that all members of the international community all members become party to the rome statute but that actually let me also the issue in a different way the international court of criminal court talks they take fifty wishes in place and when they to. opens investigations as these investigations are

either defer to by the security council or a member state itself brings the situation to its attention to situations where referred by by the security council this is a situation in the road for banks to a very comprehensive commission of inquiry on the fourteenth two thousand and five and is the situation in libya the other situations that are before the international criminal court were mostly refer to it by the state itself the prosecutor took the initiative in a few few of the few situations but these are not really the big the big majority of five so really it's thanks to the state's cooperation with the international criminal court that we have the situations which are being addressed right now in the court ok i want to talk now about situation and then i want to when i was. just going to bring this to cabinet now on a situation that is not being going to be investigated by the international

criminal court they ruled on they rule just yesterday that that the international criminal court's chief prosecutor cannot look into war crimes in afghanistan now they said that it wouldn't serve the interests of justice if an investigation into crimes against civilians doesn't serve the interests of justice i mean how will justice be served. well i think it's fair to say that the decision by the pretrial chamber in relation to the situation in afghanistan has been widely condemned by international lawyers around the world myself included the there are a number of problems with the decision of reach first of all by applying the the interest of justice to test the interest of justice tessie's ordinarily a test that has to be applied by the prosecutor in not opening an investigation. so for the for the judges the pretrial chamber to apply that is problematic as to

whether it all has even jurisdiction to apply such a test the other issues of course this is come on the back of a very. bullying campaign by the united states and so the message that that sends is incredibly dangerous yet at the same national said a craven capitulation to america's bullying absolutely and you know this is not the first time we've seen this we we saw this many many years ago with us trying to convince other states not to. ratify the ram statutes is not the first time we've seen and we've seen this sort of bullying tactics over a period of time. and so the decision is going to be interpreted in such a way and that's going to give other states the strength to stand up to the i.c.c. and not cooperate so that's that's dangerous in itself the other issue that has been raised by the i.c.c.

pretrial chamber is the inability to effectively investigate there of course prosecutors around the world on the national or international level will always apply a test of whether there is a reasonable prospect of successfully prosecuted the case of course you look at that that's a process prosecutors test not not a judicial determination and what we are seeing is a situation where there is constant battling between the prosecutor and the judges as to who has the discretion to determine cases and when we're looking at the inability to investigate they're talking about the situation in afghanistan is very different now to when the inquiry is first started the position of the united states not corporate ng. but if we if we go back to some of the other situations that have been investigated in the sudan as an example there's been no cooperation from from the regime the pretrial chamber one ruled last year that it has jurisdiction in respect of mind ma right by by using this

new form of jurisdiction which is which is very innovative and the judges were the ones that agreed to the prosecuted did have jurisdiction our group was one that's. walt has briefs on that saying that the court does have jurisdiction and we've now followed up with a filing in relation to syria and jordan so we want the judges to expand their jurisdiction but so it's very difficult to understand how the judges can say that it is too difficult to investigate in afghanistan so we're not going to investigate it when they have made rulings in other cases and as as the other guests have said . particularly the point that when you're looking at this killer realism imperialism right the odds have been made. serious criticisms of the i.c.c. and the one case that they fall on is against united states and that is really

playing into into into this for criticism absolutely a lot about i.c.c. and their role in combating impunity but mr hawtrey i want to bring you back in now on one other specific case that doesn't involve the i.c.c. yet anyway which is that of the murder of a journalist you knew well gee and what saudi arabia is doing detained eleven people and carrying out a trial in secrecy we don't know the names we don't know the charges and despite the fact that the united states the cia and the u.s. senate believe that crown prince mohammed bin sandman was ultimately responsible are we going to see him and tried over this will he face justice for this. it's unlikely that i'm a been so man will be put on trial anywhere but that's not really the criterion that we should be looking at what's fascinating is that he's already had his wings

clipped a little bit the crown prince of saudi arabia in different ways that the press the king is taking on some more authority in foreign affairs the second important thing about saudi arabia and the killing is that while the american government trump in particular have essentially supported the crown prince and said leave him out of this the congress has taken serious action passing laws about yemen about saudi arabia about accountability and some european governments the norwegians the germans others have suspended arms sales and another symbolic moves so we are seeing some significant practical actions privation by some elements of major western governments but on the whole there isn't a big direct move to bring him home have been summoned to trial but we'll have to give this some more time and see how those who are pushing back on him get their work done mr smalley i want to bring you in now on another subject that we

mentioned at the start of the program which is of course syria interesting you know omar al bashir was in syria in december missing from syrian president bashar assad we've had the united arab emirates open the embassies in syria and both the united arab emirates and saddam asking the arab league to allow president assad back in some five hundred thousand people killed in the syrian civil war is russia going to face justice. the file of syria is really a very painful because we are talking about really as you said hundreds of thousands perhaps of people who were who were killed millions perhaps this internally and outside the country and really the destruction of a country is really is really in or most as you know we are talking about the huge human and human rights crisis in the country to me it's very important that those

responsible for what is going on about twenty seven million people in that country actually one day face justice as i said before i think we have an important framework that and we are working to words this we have a commission of inquiry that keeps highlight the various aspects of this whether it is detention. executions the penalty. do you know nces starvation various aspects of it we have now the independent in depend on the question investigative mechanisms of what is known as that the. which is collect the information we have the commission of inquiry that is identifying perpetrators ok so what what what what what is saying anything what is missing to it is those are additional mechanism right so there's additional

. haven't i can see you want to come in we don't have any arguments on the program so i'd like to ask you so we have the same work judicial mechanisms missing in some places what is it going to take what will it take to end impunity for criminals well very very quickly looking at syria in particular i think mother is quite right in what she's saying and highlighting the role of the commission of inquiry and the role of the trapline the mechanism there's a really really important. when you look at syria you've got to a situation such as syria you've got to think we've got to collect the evidence we've got to safeguard the evidence because for future prosecutions we never thought that charles taylor would be held accountable we never thought that radovan carriages who has just received life in prison would be held accountable the those who are responsible in syria will be held accountable we i.c.c. doesn't have jurisdiction over syria as i said what we are trying to do now when we filed the beginning of march with the prosecutor which is now being considered it

is for the crime of force deportation the same as the situation in mind. and our group is hopeful with the support of the trip and the commission of inquiry that the prosecutor will be given sufficient evidence to to investigate and then potentially bring charges but what you've got to understand and i say this having dealt with those near rwanda iraq libya is that we can't expect this to happen overnight it won't happen overnight and the majority of the situation is going to fall on syrians and syrian institutions and over a long period of time and that's where we also need to be dedicated in support i would like to see the aaa and other institutions providing support to help train syrian lawyers and judges because they're the ones that going to have to deal with this in the long term in this cabin thank you very much for that unfortunately we have run out of time even though we have so much to discuss on this but i'd like to thank all of our guests toby cadman rami who are in beirut and more also here in

faced on the silence from his allies is deafening the u.s. was perfectly happy to trade off the march for sea for security while western leaders turning a blind eye when even the citizens have fallen victim to his repression executions torture or censorship is not acceptable and you won't hear such strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london in cairo a on al-jazeera. hello he'd seen in doha the top stories on al-jazeera cities protesters are continuing to surround army headquarters in khartoum despite concessions from the ruling military transitional council generals insists they will a light a civilian cillizza the administration. we do not call for the removal of

demonstrators by force in fact the reason we intervened in the first place was because force was used by the ousted regime but our call to everyone who is organizing the protests to bring life back to normalcy still stands having said that if we find people with weapons of course we have to bear the responsibility as get into wars of the state we can't allow that to take place in order to protect the protesters outside the army headquarters or anywhere in the land of sudan as long as the protesters are allowed to demonstrate we bear the responsibility of protecting that and won't allow any third party to do so. morgan has more from khartoum after the meeting between the political parties and the military council the military council said that it was optimistic but look at what some political parties are saying that their list of demands have not been met now one point of course the contention between the two sides is how the transitional government would look like for the next two years the council wants

their fifty years in power so at the moment it's not just the political parties in difference with the military council but there seems to be some kind of differences between the parties themselves and until they get together and find a way to form a transitional government many on the street say they will continue to protest. libya's un bads government forces say they've shot down a fighter jets blowing toward her before have these pictures appear to show the aftermath in southern tripoli after us troops receive the plane crashed they launched an offensive earlier this month to take control of the capital moods of the warhead has more from tripoli military commanders with a government of national called in tripoli say that they have shut down. that fighter jet this has been also confirmed by half those forces who say that the fighter pilot managed to escape with a parachute apparently
