leaving 14 people dead before killing himself. the library golf is good to have you with us on this friday. and we begin in new york where the un security council has adopted a resolution to boost a deliveries to gaza. russia and the united states abstained on the resolution paving the way for the draft tax to be adopted. the boat was delayed for several days as us diplomats handled over the wording of the text. but today's resolution notably, does not call for a break or a pause in the finding. the secretary general said the international community needs to do more to reach that goal. you many, daddy and cease fire is the only way to begin to meet the desperate needs of people,
10:02 pm
even garza, and, and that ongoing nights mash, i hope that today. so can we think also resolution may help the finally to happen but much more is needed immediately. a michael link is associate professor at the faculty of lord western university in london, ontario. he was until last year, a you in special rapids here for the human rights situation in the palestinian territories. i asked him to help us understand what the un security council resolution on gaza, me or let's, let's remember that this is a considerably watered down resolution, excuse me, from, from what was proposed on monday by the united arab emirates. there are 3 aspects of the resolution which, which we saw on monday, which are not in the final version that was included on today, including a call for what was in them on monday or urgent in sustainable secession of
10:03 pm
hostilities, which i think is another word for us to use for we know that a ceasefire resolution was overwhelmingly adopted by the un general assembly roughly 10 days ago. and this obviously is the mood of both the diplomatic world and public opinion around the world. what we have a through the use of a front of you in a us a veto at the security council is a resolution that calls for the upgrading of humanitarian aid to get into, to gather the one of the areas where the, the us was negotiating with other countries had to do with a who was going to be the monitor of the a going in the resolution of the call for the you when to be the exclusive monitor of the a going in. this is what was the president we had with respect a going into syria of the united states objected and it's allowing and the resolution, i think opens the door to israel also joining the possibility of being able to
10:04 pm
monitor the, the fear among many is that is really, monitoring will be slow, will be laborious and the aid won't be getting in a sufficiently as an otherwise good preference of this resolution. it calls for things that are already enshrined in international law, a big you have for example, and making it as easy as possible to get a to civilians calling for civilians to be protected. so you could understand someone on the outside may be posing the question, but what's the purpose of this resolution actually when they want it? well, want to ask that the question the of the language of the resolution that was adopted earlier today remove the language that was in the written great original resolution on monday, which would have condemned indiscriminate attacks though every phrase against civilians. that's now gone from the final version of the, of the resolution. this is a bit of an iron and given that that word itself was used by presidential bite and over the last several weeks with respect to his criticism of a,
10:05 pm
of these really conduct of military operations there. all of the resolution really does is restate the important was innocent trinity of international cement of terry in law with respect to protecting civilians which was already on the books which virtually every country in the world have been asking israel to, to keep you. so we're really in many ways no further ahead with respect to, i guess, assigning responsibility or accountability to, to israel with respect to how it's conducted this military operations. and guys of the resolution calls for a un coordinator with staff at the border to do what? well this is to monitor what any aid the going in as to whether or not it may also contain materials or weapons that unlinked aid from us. because we know the a cream shalom crossing in from israel in the gaza was opened up. finally, under international pressure, by israel, in the last 2 weeks, some
10:06 pm
a has been going in there and not enough nearly to, to meet the monitoring needs there. but the a going through there as well as through the roof, a crossing from egypt and the guys a, we'll have um, monitoring by all parties. i think the resolution says, which would include israel, so that it, it can be satisfied that nothing's going in. it's going to 8, i'm us and i think there was a huge sticking point over the last 4 days. and then the conversation was between the americans and the rest of the members on the security council. what about violations of this resolution? are there consequences or can anyone everyone act with impunity as well? i'm what i, what worries me in, in the watering down of this language we've seen over the last 4 days and particularly the norms gap between what the human security council past 10 days ago . sorry, the un general assembly past 10 days ago. and what the security council has passed today is i saw the assignment,
10:07 pm
even an indirect language of responsibility for the humanitarian catastrophe that we're seeing in the in guys and the extraordinary number of deaths of a palestinian civilians. the civilian death told them guys that let's keep in mind, is the highest a civilian death told for such a period short period of time. and if for any conflict on the 21st century, we may have to go all the way back to vietnam to be able to measure the amount of us a 1000000 deaths and such a short period of time. so there's really nothing in this language which appears to commit israel to uh, to be more mindful in its operations. and israel, of course knows that it has the solid backing of the united states with respect to the diplomatic shield. but the united states wheels as a permanent member with vito power professor michael lake. we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you for having me. the risk of
