8:38 pm
i guess what an l one is a journalist and was a friend of serene abruptly. she joins us from ramallah, 3 as dinner. brown, yellow is a member of the legal team for garza victims before the international criminal court. he joined us from berlin. and joining us from paris is a pauline at us. melville, she's editor in chief at reporters without borders or the warm welcome to the program at fat. and i'd like to start with you if i may. of course after sharon's death, the poor. so much emotion. first of all, of course, deep sadness but also anger or resentment, wholesale, frustration emanating from decades of occupation. one month on that. and what's the overriding sense amongst people thereabouts, the follow up, the follow up to her death? well, let's start with the pin. the pin is still as if that happened today. every day is the 5th happened today because we still don't have an answer. we don't see anyone holding accountability for her duct, and we're still demanding justice or should in. so until now or what we hear is
8:39 pm
statements given here and there the united states given statement, non stop acting as if she is a 2nd degree. it's citizen are holding an american passport. are living in palestine being killed by israel or says, and until now the united states that in ask we're a firm fast answer to why and why is the guy or that the person who took a wade. i was shitty and caused us all oldest fame, is still really living his life as nothing happened. it's a painful feeling. we're fil morning. shitty and, and we're still demanding answers until now. i don't have an answer to letting alina lina, jumping from one country to another, to just the raised the voice of cities asking for justice. i don't have a memo lutherans. nice, right? yeah, yeah,
8:40 pm
yes. in which we weren't so pulls within the family because shooting from me was a family number member. she's not just the french is not just the colleague. she's a sister, she's a family member. and now i'm, i'm carrying on like the that the, that the giving the answer on the adult in the family upside and when, whenever letting, as having a nightmare at night. and she just want to do a video about like, let's push it more, let's push it more and then we'll spend the whole light working on that video. or should we do this or that? and then that he and who didn't have arrest like until now she didn't even have time to warn her her. and that that she lost to just jumping from one place to another just to raise up the voice. and we all need answers. we all, we only had some one to do though we need to do to hold someone accountable. someone is responsible about this bullet that destroyed all of our lights. not just like me last shilling, but it destroys so many people's life around. and we just need an answer and it's
8:41 pm
only in every single part of the world. there is a criminal and there is a victim. and there isn't a judgement in between why it's always that when it comes to palestine, the judgment is in a deep coma sleeping, not doing anything, just giving a ridiculous statement about asking for a fair, a free investigation. we have the investigation, you have the reports, you have the image. so what else do you need? a paulina dismissal from reporters without borders that the ne, i says fatten has just said the need to know what happened is fundamental, of course in any unexpected death, but especially in this case, yet there is no independent investigation. we don't know the details of what happened, what the orders were, who fired the shot that killed sharing. the truth is, we probably never wills are right. well, we hope we will. we still hope that something will come out and we call it today
8:42 pm
for an end of the impunity on this case. because one month after like sharon's colleague, just mention nothing has happened or we demanded an independent international investigation after this. why the leader of many countries called for transparent investigation and where are we a month later? no united nation investigation and an israeli investigation which terminated almost when it's it began. however, she's a nicole. this case is very emblematic of what a impunity can be. and establishing the truth is absolutely necessary, it is necessary to bring a response to punish those responsible. there has been a number of reports. and since the 11th of from investigative journalist to from a different general such as a cnn, or billing cat,
8:43 pm
showing that even though the israeli authorities had mentioned the fact that palestinian, where on the run and were likely to have shot the journalist, it seemed that they were not so it has to be investigated independently and it's, it's absolutely clear that this case is emblematic and that the truth will be needed. it's one additional case to the situation and one additional death. but obviously this is a clear that they are signs showing that the israeli could be involved, and this is a needy that the truth is needed. and the thinner, if israel was not the ally that it is united states, how different do you think the story would be? well, well, very interesting question. what, what do we know at this stage that there will be no, generally in domestic investigation before any time before any us the course not
8:44 pm
because i just thought about these, but because the presidents in the context really show that possible and these, i mean, he's a completely unwilling to bring to job piece up a potential solve international crimes like the and on the other side of the us. so thought they had to julie shawn over these case work crime, claiming our state to. but again, even the us policies are unwilling. there are other presidents in regard to us domestic or maybe the procedure against any officer on the basis on the all the political motivation because they proceeding should be initiated. advisor,
8:45 pm
department of justice in the us department of justice. nary being willing to start . generally, in an investigation against the office. and i think that the only possibility for an independent investigation, he can be only at an international level, and there will be no just the small accountability in this case, coming from domestic course also because he's unable to prosecute the officer. so the only possibility he left, he's really in the hands of the national court ability would be national or, or will come on to that in a 2nd. i want to play this clip. this is, we've been hearing, trina, black was an american citizen, the secretary of state was challenged early this week about the american response. and here's what he said. i deplore the loss of serene. she was a remarkable journalist, an american citizen, as you will know. and there too,
8:46 pm
we are determined to follow the facts and get to the truth of what happened. i know they've not yet, but know they've, i'm sorry with respect they've not yet been established for looking for they've not that we are looking for an independent credible investigation. when that investigation happens, we will follow the facts wherever they lead it's, it's, it's straightforward is that that is not yet happened, but it's something that we very much want to see happens to another one. if i can come to you, what do you make of that? entered the kid was totally ridiculous. it took only to me to send $54.00 investigators to ukraine and just with the, with the we got up to him and now it's been a month and still you need more investigation. how many investigation should be implemented? indeed is it so? so what about the i see the mission the i see what about the city and heights of justice and where are we with the process generally for,
8:47 pm
for victims there. and how does this coupling to those cases? so we are now when you relation to the situation on the policy before the international court, we have the stage the prosecutor has officially opening investigation for crimes committed in the west bank into the need to do selim. and they've got to be bought so far. the new particular coming con, and particularly it's been acquired to the lockdown to, to stop katie, not award to select the alleged patrice on some of these kinds and they declined allegedly committed. these are a lot of times he really baby baby, difficult to understand from a legal perspective because we are dealing with one of the most a documented situation for commission of what crime and crimes against humanity. we are dealing with the situation which is before there will be no domestic investigation. so i really want to stand why the prosecutor is not really picking
8:48 pm
any effective match. who so far to investigate the decline particular committee to buy these rarely despised the huge abundance of everything submitted by the policy and society to the office and polling. so we have this vacuum whereby, you know, blink can, is saying that there's that it has to be this investigation, but he knows that israel and palestine will know not cooperating. never knows that will not be an investigation bit. what you're saying is it's, it's imperative on the united states. the onus is on the united states to fill that back human spearhead at this inquiry into sheree and well that the caesar and it has to be in a stone in the shoe. and the pressure has to continue, i would be less a tough than my colleague i. we hope that things will happen. i think it's her promises. it's a commitment from the secretary of state from 20 blind game. and it is absolutely
8:49 pm
necessary that the ends use such as reporters without borders, but also other organization and dealing with this case continue just to recall the situation are right now. palestine as dropped in our index. consequently, in the in 2022 because of this violence because the because of the number of israeli violation against palestinian journalist since the weekly protest in march 2018. and there has been a huge raise of violence. and it's, it's absolutely clear that these case showed that her, there were, i mean, she was wearing sign showing. she was a journalist, there were witnesses. and there are no sayings words. people saying that there were no palestinian around or likely to have shot the julie. so we have the elements and
8:50 pm
it's absolutely necessary to continue the worth thing is impunity and impunity as lusty the quite a long time in the region. and especially for a palestinian or international journalist or in this conflict that this case is very emblematic. and anyway, and as long as there is no truce or. busy elements showing that the israeli are clear and then the everyone will know that they are underneath allies. busy or something is covered and so these doesn't work. and this is our role as a, an organisation fighting thought, breastfeeding or to fight against nissan community. it is so important. and in it, sir, so important to send a signal to all the journalists who continue to gather this region. and this conflict in particular then did interesting. oh, the, this you mentioned,
8:51 pm
domestic caught the united states. but what about seek your address through the us court system? with a civil case, we have the president of mary colvin family recovery was the sunny times reporter or killed in syria. she. her family took her case to the civil courts and which ruled that syria had to pay $300000000.00. that money wasn't coming. any time soon, but that was the raleigh. couldn't something similar happened in this case whether there will be the possibility for both cd and premium election before domestic court in the us. but as i said before, the proceeding has to be triggered by political bodies particular by the department of justice. and these is a likely that these are going to happen one of the proceedings both stephen cleaning up concern israeli city. then as you correctly say in the beginning, us the longer you know, like something decent,
8:52 pm
got to be just any protect on some of these crimes. but even more the us suddenly showing back equal to the previous one. the ministration is also made a strong pressure of international creamy not caused by issuing the so called the executive order, which is the pause sectionals on that particular to the former prosecutor and relation to the investigation of both for guns and ag, 90 mesh on what we know very clearly that the political message we got from the west that natalie domestic course was sitting there claiming that we will have a very difficult me showing in investigating casey related, we'd like office at the bottom of us. we make also some rational, national cost to provide a fee for coming to gifting sash international crime in data such as the
8:53 pm
palestinians because they refused to cooperate with that. he is ready investigation in the 1st place of the complete lack of trust that and they didn't want to offer up the bullet that they have, which killed sharin. so what do you think the shape of the investigation should be to ensure that it's independent and transparent and an acceptable we need some of that. we can trust simply a stuff because we did measure o or witnessed throughout the years. and manipulation of evidence by those railey site, and we need someone to trust that you address the family and they spoke about it. they still would have made, make up their mind whether they want to go to there or not. because there's always the fear of manipulation with the evidence, and this is why the palestinian authority simply didn't want to give the bullet to the israeli aside, we have a connection of weapons which can they can easily make it easy that we use the palestinian fighters,
8:54 pm
whose m 16 and then the israel soldier used the same kind of weapon, but then there is always the number to that bullet. there's always a number that is related to the gun that the soldier need to sign a paper that he has those number related to that related to that person. so we can easily find a person to blame. now we need of like a side that we can trust and israeli palestinian investigation. israel is no, not in a place that we can trust, not in any was. i mean they at so many places they did steal organs. they that still on the evidence and with a did, this is not a place where we can trust. but what i know that, what with that side is going to be need to fight the in the name of sri and, and the name of every palestinian that became a victim of the rule of shooting kill whenever they feel like. and we're not just fighting for shooting. we're fighting for every single is really a soldier that we witnessed throughout the years getting more and more aggressive
8:55 pm
on the ground killing with the smile on their face. only by knowing that i'm a free man after that. like what we called is really folger impel. offend is the sacred cow that no one can come near. so you can see them like i was shot twice, twice out of 3 times. and the soldier was just like, i'm wearing my gear and he was just pointing the gun up and putting it down. and i was so stupid to believe that he will not shoot me. but he did. he did, and he was smiling because he knows he can do it, do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and no one is going to hold him accountable. and even in there where a case of like the one in each branch, he was serving 3 months in jail and he was out even though he held the gun in front of cameras and he shot a person, a palestinian person. all the evidence is in front of your face. okay, so guess that he, they took him to court, but then he was only there for 3 months and then was a free man, the biggest bunch,
8:56 pm
his life as nothing happened right and poorly. this is important, not just for justice on the ground of course, but also as you've been alluding to, to, for journalism as a whole. and i was reading that, what is it? 80 percent of the journalist murders have gone on prosecuted in the last decade. yes, i think it's very important as a sign of a, a of prediction of press freedom june is to have to be able to cover in peace. i think it's very important that even though there was this violation of the un security council resolution 2222 on the protection of journalist under geneva convention on security of journalist. it's absolutely necessary that a journalist can know that they will be able to cover for the conflict. the zone i mentioned for
8:57 pm
a $140.00 journalist the victims of violation on fridays march since the 2018. but it's also 30 journalist killed since a 2000. so the stall is absolutely enormous. and it's in this case is a only metric because the journalist was known, she was experienced. she obviously days all this background or around what happened . and so this is, that is why it's so important that these a strong signal for press freedom for journalists to continue to believe that it was, will come out or is one final question for the rest. you know, we got about 30 seconds left or so. do you think they will ever be justice for sure in i think that there can be justice before the international court on domestic level. but there must be a pressure by society policy,
8:58 pm
few society international phoenix society. but call us on international court to new to the prosecutor, to stop investigation. it will be said what kind of but in particular as a crime, a case, you might think because he's not an isolated part of a wife and he's been up against policy. not so much your patient, both in the west bank and in the us. so there would be an investigation that would be just to see if the pressure of the fcc will be high and why the court with people ongoing would be lack of c in investigating the situation. if i say the specific case, as i said before, showing confir the can be with these because the cause has shown that the baby, a born effect intervening. another situation with the particular thing this case. all right, we'll have to leave the thank you so much to all of you for joining us today. and l one d, no man yellow and pointing out
