room felt the same thing the members of congress the media. the public the syrian opposition the staff everyone. news of caesar's pictures reached the holocaust memorial museum. the director of the center for the prevention of genocide at the museum decided to exhibit caesar's photographs. this was the first time that we had come into possession on our own of photographs of such a not just a contemporary case but an active case these were photographs that were weeks and months old some of them they were going on as we spoke they were not a historical event seventy or eighty years ago they were not photographs in black

and white these are photographs in full color. that that tell a story that's going on today. it took an allied victory to end the actions of the nazis. barack obama was elected to get u.s. troops out of the middle east he could not take the risk of another military intervention caesar left unable to change u.s. policy. that has been the great disappointment for caesar and and still for everyone involved and i think for humanity and that we could have someone like caesar come to washington and sit on the world stage and tell the world of these terrible mass atrocities and then have no real response no response. not a letter not

a meeting not a speech and certainly not actions to stop the atrocities. the syrian opposition did not obtain any commitment of intervention nor a criminal investigation into the crimes committed by damascus living in europe an ex investigator from the international criminal court noted the paradox of cesar's case that has tremendous emotional and human value it puts. a human face on the documentation on the charges it's a dead human face but it's a human face and that's ultimately i think where we're going to see the value of the season materials but letting the world know what's happening is not the same as putting together a criminal case i'm sorry to be so positive positive to vista about it but we have to. the criminal investigations are not. very emotional

from a criminal investigative point of the point of view it's. it's good it works well with our other material but in and of itself would it make a case against a shot no not at all not at all. in these offices william wiley assembled a team of arabic speaking lawyers for years now they have sorted translated and analyzed documents used by the administration of the syrian regime it's the only way according to him to obtain evidence against a higher ranking officers. on the ground collecting evidence there are around forty investigators working inside syria. and it's not in this model heavy. other list we have

of us stop the thought of the film and i haven't asked for that eleven. during one of these missions adl got his hands on documents abandoned by the syrian army. in the midst of war his priority is to secure evidence. that it was minor or. come. at them of the. moment. in a war zone where death and destruction is rampant food and medical care is scarce risking your life for a few pieces of paper can seem trivial. to us in the midst of that and say that. at the. time i thought. your chance. had

a magic. i have not the oak or. the met you don't get london with the amount of handicap. when dealing. on authority me as the yani you can not go to the to mr demo wouldn't john i'm a bombshell dad. for failing to tap tap can inject the. blood to them and at the time and call it a walk i'm not did you say that was he was one of those who has done things in the area covered that he fears he heard it in the time and again know that a. funny joke on a cover some other hides under some ads has additional help. but not much out of. a fine enough. for the magical effect that they don't have enough i mean eighteen which i've seen any less than know and no bar of been accounted monocle

they send out a p.d.f. file about a bill mechanic in the field theater. oh i fell into that in that outlaw and not enough handle. william wiley is still convinced that this evidence will one day be presented in front of a tribunals we've moved out of syria know about six hundred thousand pages of material but when you have such a massive amount of documentation as we do. essentially you get to the truth of how the regime structures function. how they think collectively these structures and so forth this is far and away the best form of those documents essentially don't lie. the lawyer aims to identify those responsible at the top his organization is reconstructing the chain of

command of the regime. who gives the orders how are they transmitted how do the regime security forces operates. as a directly implicated. more finding the directives that came down from the mask us and of course finding the reports that were going up to damascus and that enabled us to get to the very top of the regime and establish the individual criminal responsibility of the president . ministers security chiefs and military chiefs in damascus. we believe we have sufficient evidence. for an international prosecutor to bring charges against the president of syria and to succeed with

a prosecution. in these boxes three doses are ready to be reviewed twenty four high ranking members of the syrian regime are named. the lawyer has made his investigations available to a prosecutor but who will take the case on the i.c.c. cannot act because of the russian veto and the un is powerless to confront one of its own members syria is a sovereign state and bashar assad is the sitting president in the short term there seems to be little hope for an international criminal case other ways need to be found. the question is how can you have justice and when you have it at the national and so a lot of countries have what's called universal jurisdiction they can prosecute everybody anybody who commits torture anywhere in the world whether it's their citizen or their who is either the perpetrator or the victim sesh it cannot get in

the night there with all false l.u.v. is the ick the motivation to best out of the cream and again. it was. september twenty fifth teen the russians officially joined the war in syria with the stated aim of destroying geisel. there's a massive surge in aerial bombing. abdul qadeer is in gaza into a number that if you've been in the head you might or see damage in the top five but they are a little. thought than what the daily believe the thirty and then he. can face the

death. and then forgotten what it was seeing him and then he can learn from it and start dealing. with their having to hack it for them and stop their. man debriefed after cardiff on the ground. most men men in the n.f.l. the head man has just gone. keep dechen to have a little benefit pay in order to see who it. was the other mobs and. a lot. of. others well they're all over the long run the other numbers this are short. given that

a big difference up there is still not going to come but. others are better than those i just. like as those that i was. residents of aleppo are under siege surrounded by assets troops who are trying to isolate and starve them. despite the disillusionment and danger man continues to collect evidence on the ground. or see how come. the so. is the mole. peoples of the. sun and the bad then the whole of the by

a man who seek a man. of . by december twenty fifth more than half of the entire syrian population has been forced out of their home. in turkey things are not as calm as before. twenty fifteen and sixteen has seen a number of attacks take place in the capital ankara and in istanbul. the conflict has evidently spilled over the borders of syria and threatens the entire region. but silence hands continue to collect evidence.

the global conversation on how to zero or one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be for it as you notice that it turns liberally but the bill because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to do we work in depth journalism we don't feel in favor good audience across the globe. how have you changed since you were seven. charting the lives of the children of apartheid over twenty one years each story reflecting a history of dramatic social and political change twenty eight up south africa part

of some of the suicide bombers most of them educated. and come from maybe middle upper middle class so they are financially quite independent and but you know their families quite stable financially so that is a boring activity. because some of them have i think studied. in various other countries they will degrees. lower limbs you know this but really do creative people. a president a matter of policy to see you know has vowed to overhaul state security after the country's intelligence agencies didn't act on several tip offs and there are fears all those associated with the easter sunday attacks are still at large only now fernandes joins us live now from columbus oh man oh paula mentors reconvene we
