in february manned mas ambassador to the un spoke out in the general assembly in our fight against the military regime. ever since the generals have wanted to follow him and replace him with their own, ambassador gwilym is ex, i was appointed afghanistan's ambassador to the un at the end of july, but less than 4 weeks later, the man who appointed him president asher, af connie had fled and the government he represented had been replaced. the taliban want ambassador is excited to be replaced by one of their spokesmen sir hale shaheen. the un general assembly has a 9 member credentials committee, which must decide who should have the un seat in both cases. one of those members is russia, does it believe there should be a change in representation? it's very philosophic question, i would say sort of difficult to answer yes or no. in this regard. russia, of course, prefers to interact with those who represent their countries for the present,

their governments. kelly curry was one of the u. s. is baset. is that the un during the trumpet administration? she's also a strident advocate for human rights in mamma. she told me her experience suggests the un will try to delay any decision. willful moral buying was prevail. institution at that point, you have a very weak secretary general, is not a strong leader who's not going to push parties to make difficult decisions. and who won't, won't take the necessary leadership to push the system out of its current. right. so i think that a continued stay says status quo that that pleases. no one is the most likely outcome. yes. whatever the committee decides, this is not the end of the matter. the committee will come up with a report then goes to the entire un general assembly. james bays al jazeera at the united nations. or israel is advancing at system of surveillance in the occupied
