12:36 pm
international criminal court earlier. and then this sir, a pre plan, but impromptu, almost a press conference. i happened outside the criminal court. let sir bring in, tristan o marinello, a reader in law, liverpool, john moore's university, is also a member of the legal team for cause of victims. at a for the i. c. c, he joins us now from rome. what did you make of what you heard the good morning may, thanks for the invitation. now the ball, he's in the hands all over the international. i mean, of course the, the particular stock and investigation in this case i work as says to be shown on the status of the i see 1st of all that stuff to be shown in microsoft, hawaii. and he's already satisfied by the day being collected by media
12:37 pm
investigation so far by senior society of any day she wants to buy this before because she's very, very dance and also why the 90 something spike stopped an investigation. in this case that the one time, the 2nd one is that the case is misty boerger b c. b c bar means that domestic costs are not generally willing to investigate this case. so which are the domestic off? israeli goes by latino, the code to all the us authorities. so as we and it's already been said before, he bought a piece for me. i'm willing to carry out, tammy, generally, and you, but the geisha in this case, not just in the case, but it's been widely reported to play when the bobbies that the military justice system will people who shield the goals of
12:38 pm
a baby to policy and called unable to investigate any crimes committed by y'all. and us also, it's very few way schools have a bullying to exit signs. they, they do is the short resource because in domestic proceedings in the us, you like to be let me show crime political body selected at the bottom. and just the saw the department of state play a very important role to the bottom of the job is to get the criminal duty, sean, and from the state to myself by the number is 3 shown to bailey a likely be going to happen. so to conclude that both of us have the spine every day and i'm going to be now the prosecutor showed me to the open investigation in this case, as you say, he should open investigation but, but i understand you correctly. it is purely is discretion as to whether he
12:39 pm
moves forward with this case if, if perhaps he does, given all of the things you said about how difficult this is to get one party to, to supply as evidence or to allow an investigation into what actually happened from their point of view, how long would it take? well, folks like the state to international court, which is the only binding the law. clearly said, the prosecutor, shell so much then investigation is the requirement. the condition i mentioned before, i've satisfied that theory in the office of the prosecutor, as they said, you would be great showing the relation to the teacher to stop or not an investigation. the problem here that seem to the new prosecutors have been
12:40 pm
appointed mister coming, can be prosecuted. he's been very relaxed on so far to wake any music and step in relation to the investigation of the tuition in palestine. because there is a living resignation. stop by the form it can bring to the message. but so why would the new prosecutor is not made any significant development this back to the bottom down. so in this situation on evidence related electrical shauna with crimes and most likely crimes against humanity, though he's over the dog heads and shown that it can act the better company in other situations like green guns, but can be also very relaxed on been silent situation where the on a daily basis to work i'm being committed to live in. so the law is clear, has an obligation impact fees. it would be the opposite of these questionable,
12:41 pm
at this stage should be every day the by the dish or by the lawyers were speaking before the press conference is fundamental. the prosecutor only need so called being dive, it's debbie, debbie. so we've been submitted by the parties to start the investigation. then of course, it could be that would we be stuck to the investigation? then we need to complete his own investigation in order to bring the proceedings to form. but at this stage, the evidence, somebody already enough to start for the investigation test, they're really good to talk to you actually for being with us 1st you know about in yellow the in the room. thank you. south africa, police and prison. civil rights union has taken to the streets of pretoria to demand higher wages favor already rejected. the government's offer of a 3 percent increase. inflation in south africa is running at over 70 percent a 13 year high. let's go by now to pretoria on serious hello tessa. is that how to,
