which is either keith and the un security council is set to discuss the war in ukraine in a few moments time let's bring into alan fisher, who's tracking development for us in new york. hello. the allen, the meeting will bring russian and ukrainian foreign ministers as well as the us secretary of state together, around the one table. i my colleague, jim's bees. his has literally in the last couple of minutes just spoken to the korean foreign minister and said that the 2 of you are going to be in the same room . you and the russian foreign minister, will you speak? will you interact? and he answered by saying i will socially distance from him. so you can see that there's not going to be any direct communication between the ukrainians and the russians. this is the 1st security council meeting it since february, since the invasion to discuss what has happened in ukraine. up until this point, the russians have managed to veto any discussion. is there likely to be something
5:08 pm
from the security council at the end of this to say, we are going to do x or y? that's highly unlikely. again, because of the russian veto. and interestingly enough, let him use the lensky, the ukranian president, mentioned that v to a, during his speech to the un general assembly on wednesday, saying, look, while russia is involved in ukraine and doing what it's doing at not only should the delegation look to have their credentials removed, then russia shouldn't have a vote and certainly shouldn't have a veto on the security council. what we're likely to see are western nations led by the united states and also by ukraine, essentially list what they see as war crimes committed by russia since the war began. almost 7 months ago, more than 200 days ago. they will try to shame the russians with a great deal of support in the international community for ukraine. and we know that the secretary general said during his speech at the,
5:09 pm
the general assembly that the war has unleashed widespread destruction with massive violations of human rights. and international humanitarian law and sergey lover of or will be there. if you remember back to the g 20 foreign ministers meeting, when they started talking about ukraine, he walked out at he will be in the hall, how long he'll be there for. we're not entirely sure, but this is really, as i see, a chance for the americans and others to outline what they see. eyes, the consequences of russia's actions in ukraine, not just in ukraine itself, but globally, with a food crisis, a financial crisis, and also an energy crisis. and they will lay it all at the doors of law to be put in and moscow. and it's while we're waiting for that security council meeting and to get underway. well, it is underway actually at the moment, allen, but i wanted to ask you more about the prosecutor of the international criminal court being there and what he will be looking into.
5:10 pm
well he's already announced, are we back in june that he was going to investigate and that was the 1st investigation that he'll orange since taking over a year ago in june 2021. i. and they are looking at certainly some of the incidents and, and, and reports that they've heard out of ukraine of mass graves of mass torture of people being forced out of the country and taken to russia. all of those things are under investigation. and certainly we know the ukrainians have said the has to be a price paid by the russians for what they see is a war of aggression in the of asked for a separate tribunal. just to discuss the question of aggression going back all the way to the invasion of crimea. no, because of the rules, the security council's hands are slightly tied because all it will take is that veto from russia to block a lot of this. but there are many avenues open to the i,
5:11 pm
c, c, and many avenues open to the un security council to create some sort of subcommittee to look at what has happened in ukraine. and then from that there may be the possibility of charges flowing. but the idea that the i c c will get permission from the security council. they'll investigate. and then somehow vladimir putin will be extradited from more school and put on trial. and the higg. that's hugely unlikely that is going to happen any time soon or after talk as back to you throughout at the session. and at the moment, we have un secretary general antonia gutierrez speaking, and we will cross back to that meeting and you throughout the program ramp. and you went back to war. crimes tribunal has rejected an appeal by the last dividing later of the committee rouge armed group. the court in cambodia has upheld the genocide conviction and life sentence handed to 91 year old q sam pon he was head of state
