2:06 pm
commission for you, for the conflict and should be set up with the majority votes. again, it won't be set up right group say that it means that an opportunity will be missed to apply some preventive pressure on the actors in this complex. and they say that means that the people to making these right to pieces will be able to carry on doing so with impunity. on the other hand, if the majority of the members of the human rights council vote in favor, and we can expect an international commission to set up, it will have investigative role. it will publish reports and recommendations. it may have a capacity to preserve the evidence of the mass killings and other atrocities. would have allegedly been committed rights group say that that will help to prevent further atrocities from taking place as well as paving the way for possibly one day victim. and having international support to seek justice for these abuses and malcolm, what are the chances that the government and ad alba would give any international
2:07 pm
observers access to conflicts owens to assess the situation? well, the government is again, the international commission being set up. but if one was to be set up, we could expect to possibly be something like one of the been set up for the conflicts, such as in south c, dawn or in syria. and those commissions have operated for the large part remotely. they've got that evidence from the fall, but nonetheless had an important role in documenting things that have been happening. so whether or not they get access rights group say is the key issue here . they say the key issues take today is whether or not this commission actually get sets up in the 1st place. now can thank you very much for that for now. that is malcolm web with the native live and i, roby. thank you. now, 11 years ago, a fruit salad into museum sat himself on fire in
