very grave, the author of this law, but the reason is that has taken place within the constitutional committee within the some of the members. so just the introduction of the principle of democracy. but that was refused. they introduced the principle also equality. but that also was refused. while that was because of the instructions given by mr. the head of government at the time. and that was the last year without severe at $900.00 g m. j continuing live coverage of a special session of the un human rights council on the situation in the occupied palestine. territory, garza, we like all people have seen the soldier storming from off launching gas bombed to unworthy. while they were surrounded in the night,

we have seen also the arrest of inhabitants who are living in their own homes in change or a 100 other places like cell one and others. also the repression against the youth at the entrance of the old city babylon. and of course, it was natural for us to process. this is a democratic, right for anyone. and when we asked for the policy and see how people are treated, so we go to the streets, protesting, there were monitors, there was a huge march in and have run where tens of thousands there was a general strike that engaged in on the 18th of may the score and there was a general strike where all members of the valor senior people to participate. and i'm just became a unit 5 palestinian songs that emerge from the city of job. in particular,

the official israel decided even to attack this democratic christ, the democratic to demonstrate to voice a song. this was a peaceful demonstration. the demonstrations were repressed by force or houses where stormed 1700 people were arrested. many of them also under detention and some of them under house arrest or have been moved away from the house to other places and similar arbitrary measures also the same fire. we note at that time it is possible that things will go back to normal, but immediately the early official is trying to picture a victory alter it, failed in gaza. and this is a victory over 20 percent of the citizens. and therefore, that was a campaign for the imposition of law and order on the part of israel,

which means that there is a clear declaration on the part of the state that it wants to engage in the state to press. to terrorize the policy are actually holds the decision of the question here is a form of collective punishment against a whole nation. people that's all been like, you know how the people that are repressed is demonstrations. and here we see the possible laws of imposed upon them are thought of this campaign. and so if there is someone who could be accused of of something, yes, it is possible to accuse someone or something. but if you are a someone in order to repress a whole people or to store a whole neighborhood in order to scare or to frighten a whole country, this is called collective punishment. and it is rejected under all international norms. and we all say here very me see this

community, this thing in some unity within israel. those are people who are inherent original inhabitants, but they are living under those prohibitions. and therefore, we call upon the international community, all the institutions, all the states, all of the legal institutions, the angels, all the parties in the individuals. so all of them to raise their voices and to adopt position and to question and hold accountable. the government of israel, in those all battery and repressive measures taken against palestinian people against off the children of the policy to be blessed. thank you very much. i thank you for your statement. i now get the floor to miss me or not l court journalist and resident of shift yara in jerusalem. miss l court, you have the floor on who listen to me.

and good morning everybody. good afternoon. my name is mina. quote, resident sick. in teresa parnell camp of palestine, i'd like to tell you the story of my sub theresa ellen historic. teresa area was built in 1957 following an agreement concrete and between told her son and also we're trying to say hey, were removed from his directory. so they were really home to the results of the agreement. 3 years later we were being give this territory is the result told the agreement unfortunately in fact didn't come then we'll pro counts in 1967 and it's very okay. patient

took over the remaining part of palestine was no longer present a great influence in the region and $971.00 subtler associations accused. rather than saying that we were not historic blood line residence there were back like this despite the fact that the patient and the reason went back to the 9 to 6 days salacious. i confessions organizations were attempting to push fords, bear occupation with anthony documentation. they re occupation wanted our prophecy rise not to be properly

examined as a result what has happened in shakes as a model for its really occupation of a palestinian territory. there is a plot, but seen is really government and colonial business in order to separate south the land. there isn't a part site in place. settlers can move around completely freely and protected fashion. while way the palestinians have 9 times a month to me freely and then 6 goes back for st days in a far more severe manner because the area is illegally sealed off. and we have no idea why we will leave the un sherman that right council in geneva,

just briefly to take you to kick ali rwanda. the french president manju micron is on a visit there in a speech and to speak. and this is natasha unable shadow of humanity speaks to us of the loss of the big tins. those who fled into the forest and race without an arrival without any hope. each morning, each afternoon. terrible repetition of evil. we hear the voices of those after stumbling facing death, they sing torture, losing nearest and dearest a parent

a child. and they protected right until their last breath. and so and so's silences. showed us somebody moved to suki and the dawn. it those who killed together those who led us could you know, the as he remains all those who tried to deprive them of the life of face. this was a history or memory isn't visa. it's up to their wishes, their dreams and benches above all thy density full name and name. all names ingrained to send me on eternal stone

of this memorial day. because remember, because remember, you carry this night. it's those you remember being here and those who may be still here, it could be let's house those he's suffering, we did not hear neither before nor during. even afterwards, that is perhaps the worst. i skip the survivors. those escape or fins close to that we can use you speak of the courage of bravery. we're not talking about the figures of death, but the irreplaceable souls of their lives. eastern country,

the words of a tragedy in which carries a name, genocide, people do v of it to steal as we're speaking about life with all his dreams, a 1000000 civil but you know, genocide can be counted, has a genealogy, a history. it is unique a genocide has a target. the killers just have a criminal obsession. the eradication of the 2 seems all but says men and women of the parents of the children's seeking from this obsession of all those he wanted to stop. but they never

did want a genocide comes from the saw, it prepares please. it has an obsession in his mind methodically, to abolish this humanity from the other. this need is in front of it, stretches of domination, so good scientific beliefs through humiliation, life separation interpretations and his unveiled limit can each the meanest mechanics, absolute rule of extermination. genocide cannot be wiped away. it is something which cannot be forgotten. it never has an end. i can't forget arthur genocide,

you can't live after inside. you live with it. in one to say that birds do not thing on the 7th of april because it is people have to break the silence and is in the name of life that we have to say to name to recognise us literally the killers. he went in to the marshes, into the hills, into the villages. this isn't a she doesn't need to see. the blood that flowed did not dishonor their weapons to see of the wounds of those

who as die fold in their tears. but the front had a roll history and a political sensitivity in wonder and it has a duty. she has a duty to look at history and to recognise the share of suffering that inflicted on the london people should examine. in the silence, silence when he examined the truth. and so did you put it in committing since 1990 in conflict in which she had no interest? france did not hear the voice of those who warned. those who under estimated the strength left the house and

did not understand that by trying to stop a regional co contract. it remained on the sides of a regime that was carrying out a genocide renew. the ignoring the greatest warnings of expert france has a responsibility in was piled out of control in the test in means of victory and so on. so that was in august 1993 from a lot launched long side african it is like with leaders you're looking for that person that was delivered to us tried to make

compromise. and sharing of power efforts were courageous. but they was swept away by a genocide mechanism, which had no obstacle apart from its planning. just going to really get to get the vin april 1994 would use when they carried out started to car the odious work. the international community was, took 3 in terminal months, 3 tournaments before reacting and we all the same thing. the media i said, gave up on hundreds of thousands of victims to this infernal balloon genocide the following day when leaders heaters in vogue light and

courage to understand the genocide sequence the trans did, did not draw the necessary consequences. since then, to just don't submit something 20 years of distance. 27 years of distance of misunderstandings and need a sense of 27 years of suffering. the loss of agony of memories. i love to know. so we need to speak with humidity and respect to on your sides on this day by come here to recognise our responsibilities to people's lives. it is thus, we do really to follow the worth knowing the truth, the rigor of work with historians that we are continuing to pursue,

working together with a new generation of researches sweet. don't wishing that along side front. it's just the flow and all the tools stakeholders open up all their archive. sophistic in wonder to recognize is fact just to this is austin and above all to follow the out of justice. so need to be committing that no person his can convicted of crime or genocide can escape supremacy to recognize this is positively to our responsibility. it just is just a gesture that cannot be opposed. it seems victim and

a demand to ourselves and for ourselves. village came up to the victims after so much science of the past. believe he's for the living the next week. and if they accept it, bring peace to pain innocence. this journey recognition through donations gives us a come out of this night. and to emphasize once again, position to come back together for this pulse. so suki purvis only knew those if been through the night, can perhaps forgive you doing

a loss and therefore forgive the nation of giving people e. booker, quickbooks, quickbooks. on this day, i want to show you that our meeting you to see was possible, but we're not just deleting anything from the because we have the opportunity for it was and a lot of respect. so the darcy edition is working together with the young people of lender and frank. i want to launch here working together for he to morrow. let us leave here the push for our children,

future happy memories. the rumors instead of paying respect that i want to make to keep the memory of those it deprives both future. and that is all duty in 2021. emanuel micron, the french president's in kigali, and i were wondering genocides memorial. today he laid a reef earlier, took part in a ceremony, and is now just given a very solomon somber speech to the invited dignitaries in which he said, france wasn't an accomplice in rwanda's, 994 genocide. but it did not listen to those who warned it about the situation in

rwanda, and that it stood defacto by a genocidal regime. malcolm web r reporter today in kigali, following a manual microns trip there. those are some very, as i said, solomon and important admissions that have been made yes, solemn and humble sounding words from president micron. and what's his 1st step, a visit to rwanda? but clearly a sign of a significant warming off of relations between the 2 countries which have otherwise been fairly frosty for most of the last century. ever since through under civil war and miranda's genocide in 1994. now franz backs the previous government. the government of rwanda that was in power up until then full could gummy, who commanded the r p,

f. the rwandan patriotic front. the time and he's president of rwanda. today was in a civil war with the previous government, france back the previous government by providing military support, providing weapons. and people in that government went on to to organize genocide against ethnic tutsis. and also modern hutus and france continued to be involved even after that stage. it soldiers came here on a us monday later in 1994, and they set up a humanitarian, colorado that was meant to provide safe access for refugees. but we also used by dentist today to escape now, ever since pooka got me in the r p. s who governed rwanda were very negative in their comments about from the country turned much more towards allegiances with the u. s. and the u. k. france inter, an accused, the r p f of shooting down the plain covering and carrying president hobby ramana

the the previous ruler. if you've gotten the previous rule of rwanda shooting down, that play enough widely seen as the event that triggered the genocide and fronts. it also accused the payoff of massacring ethnic who to these accusations, which definitely considered on acceptable by the government to wander. and it's not active in france has now gone very quiet on those things. and it's very much the case of the french narrative kind of coming to meet the narrative of the, the government of wanda in this evidence soaring of relation malcolm, why is this a, what's president micron is said today? why is this happening now? by which i perhaps mean, why hasn't this happened already when we all know what happened in rwanda? oh, you could say it happened in incremental steps. french president saw, cuz he did come here with the 1st french president to visit. that was in,

back in 2010. he didn't say any of the things sounding, you know, it's sort of didn't acknowledge things, anything to anything about the level that micron just did. but front, definitely end towards this disposition of acknowledging some responsibility and of been amending mending fences, building bridges, withdrew under it's taken quite some time, but it definitely fits in with, with the political movements in this region and beyond. france was very much the, you know, the support of pull companies predisposed to the government that was for companies enemy. when he came to power, he pulled strong allegiances with the u. s. and with the u. k. but they don't perhaps appear to be quite as robust as they once were. and also in terms of regional allegiances, rwanda's relations with its neighbors aren't as good as they used to be. it's been quite 10 things between here and neighboring you gotten there in the last,

he was just last week president, security of the neighboring democratic congo and pool company were exchanging he said comments about human rights abuses that happened in congo allegedly by the rwandan army back in the, in the 990. meanwhile, the government, everyone does in the last see, has been really building bridges in french speaking. west africa, everyone does airline. this started to connect east africa to a lot of those french speaking countries. rwanda's form of foreign minister is now the secretary general of the, the francophone, me. so definitely, there's been some kind of shift in movement here and we're saying possibly a shift in allegiances. rwanda is definitely in a, in a position now where, where we're certainly in a, in a position it seems where francis is willing to, to come round to its narrative from across to come all the way here and clearly foreign legion stance on

a whole level that we haven't seen since since 990 for malcolm web as in q. golly, today malcolm. thank you. we've been listening to previously the french president man micron these pictures of him at a ceremony to mark the rwandan genocide. he has, in a very solemn speech, said that while france was not an accomplice to the genocide of 994, but it did not listen to those who warned it about the situation in rwanda. so that's been one of our lives. it's a very busy news day here on out to 0 these pictures just a short time ago from cali in you get, i'm sorry, wonder i i probably know covering another moving story today and that is the united nations

human rights council in geneva and israeli air strikes in gaza, we are now hearing could amount to war crimes. in fact, that was the you in human rights chief michelle bachelor has said this special session to assess the situation across the occupied territory. ashley said all sides should protect civilians and called on him as to refrain from firing rockets indiscriminately. this meeting convened by pakistan as the coordinator of the organisation of islamic cooperation. they put forth a draft resolution for this meeting. we're going to talk to natasha butler. in paris about the distress revolution. natasha. what exactly is it? what, what's the aiming at doing from this meeting? well, the draft resolution, as you say, table that by pakistan on behalf of the organization for islamic corporation calls

on the un human rights council to investigate a violence in the occupied palestinian territories and east jerusalem. it also goes a big bit further than the recent violence, and it actually calls on the council to set up an ongoing committee that would investigate abuses and violence in those areas. they would look at things as it takes, like what they call systematic discrimination. the root causes of much of the tension that the idea here is that this investigation committee would be able to gather evidence that could be used to prosecute possible perpetrators of the violence. the trough text also calls on all states to try and mobilize h u, monetary and assistance as quickly as possible for palestinian people. and it also calls on states not to transfer to any side. if there is a risk that those arms could be used in the violation of human rights and for abuse

is not so far, it has been supported. this draft tax has been supported by about 20 states, including 20 member states of the u. n. a human rights council. they will be a vote on it a bit later about 4 o'clock geneva time. it is coming out of geneva, of course there where the council is based. thank you. natasha butler in paris. let's wrap things up with james base diplomatic editor who was listening earlier to . well, it was michelle postulate to start with mr. i just last name on my paper, michael link. it was as well, the special repertoire and palestine. they had some very strong woods, very strong words indeed. now how is this going to play out on the ground here? for israelis they do not believe the human rights counsel is incredible organization and in fact we just heard these right in boston in geneva, moore. rev show ha, talk about how massive.
