condemnation of the syrian government for violence russia says that could damage the road to peace and calls from. the right of those are the main headlines here on r.t. but next we sat down with russia's recently appointed envoy for human rights to discuss his new role constantino dog off shows his views on the notorious to guantanamo bay prison camp and nato's presence in libya that's coming up right now. because that's in a little thank you very much for being with us today thank you for your russian foreign ministry's first ever envoy for human rights why was this position create now well you're absolutely right this is a new position on the has been established
8:34 am
a few months ago actually to be rigs three and a half months. i am in dispositional now has been established to. be direction of the president of the russian for the federation mr medved if. decision was taken by what the minister said your lover of the basic idea here is to. probably even more actively. profile our country russia in the field of human rights democracy and rule of law there was a very important issues and then mentions or international relations as you know and of course an extremely important part of my job part of my job description i am a c. used to morning this is the phone with the implementation of human races. in the world and across the globe and it's not only human rights.
8:35 am
shown in my title it is also doing the angle of low key russia realistically export democracy will of exporting democracy and we do not think as a matter of principle that democracy can be exported but. obviously democratic development should come first and foremost from within the countries and we consistently proceed from the assumption that. you know there are no i mean the shouldn't be such thing as a first or second tier you know that some cancer is expected more to leave to the democratic standards than the others. or so you do a set of the means universality and this is the concept which is not unique. to russia. and internationally acknowledged concept how do you respond to this
8:36 am
human rights watch report which highlighted u.s. reluctance. to investigate systematic torture and illegal imprisonment by officials in iraq. is an interesting question actually. we took note of the report. it is not the first time. human rights defenders let me put it in this way or international organization which is dealing . governmental organization of this case which is dealing with human rights drawing attention to this issue we have heard the us american human rights defenders also from the non-governmental sector demand action from the u.s. government namely proper investigation of a number of cases very firm not mistaken they have been a number of lawsuits against the us government dealing with the religious human rights violations during so-called counterterrorist operation in particular during
8:37 am
the military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan. you mentioned also. the b.b.c. in the one time miles through there was another base in bagram and i'm going to stand up till now. unfortunately there hasn't been a proper investigation. there hasn't been any property for me cecil punishment so there is some degree of impunity will be asleep here and. quite a major issue in the field of human rights i just might say that we expect that the us government will react to those. recommendations in a proper way of course the. accusations mostly refer to the period of the previous of the bush administration. and that we know
8:38 am
that the incumbent administration in the administration has pledged a. number of times to deal with those issues. they still have to go on hodges has been recently arrested by serbian authorities and he called for our fair trial for this man what are the chances that had each lad a chance well received a fair trial and we expect that those trials will be fair will be objective will be based on facts will be impartial and not politicized as those are the most important great tyria on which the i.c.u. way used to operates under its member action and unfortunately the practice you know a number of respects in the different way. you know where they have been a lot of. criticism and problems related to the castle if you want to give it is
8:39 am
including. standards and unfortunately there has been sort of ground for this in the past we hope they're. weighing down exactly which is by the way under the u.n. security council resolution. by the end of two thousand and fourteen we expect that the. remaining. international body will. draw certain conclusions some lessons and will operate in an impartial and professional manner this is always speculation is not only are we expect the expectation of the serbian the serbian government as was expressed by. government publicly and this is the expectation of all members of international community a hot topic for the past couple of months has been libya what consequences well we've been officials face american and european unfortunately unfortunately still
8:40 am
it is in libya have been continuing for quite some time and. the him. matter of the fact there was there. was who do suffer from those who are still it is most a war. and unfortunately civilians suffer from both actions by the few forces by the government obviously and also from. the use of force. by the coalition forces and the other important trade deal of course is proper implementation of security council resolutions and until someone to maintain seventy three as far as especially as far as protection of civilians protection of civilian population is concerned what do you did to protect the integrity of the security council resolution in the future. this is a very important issue and i think that. once again as the russian leadership
8:41 am
stressed. time and again. proper lessons are to be learned. especially from the results from ninety seven to three where unfortunately unfortunately the limits or the use of force more properly old land but let us not forget that it is. the prime responsibility of the governments to protect the civilian population. there is also a very important usual sovereignty here so we expect that the governments of course will live up to their respective. allegations international obligations. but if the international community eased to undertake certain steps to protect the civilians. to act in accordance with international law what brings in the use of the statement for example in case of nato because you talk about governments and
8:42 am
how civilians are suffering do you mentally actions but also need to actions is there a diplomatic mechanism to censor nations action. i would see it is not so much probably the issue of censuring but of course the the attitude. why the international attitude towards those deviations from certain deviations from security council resolutions of course this opinion is being expressed and we hope that the signal is being conveyed and it will be heard this particular signal. but. the most important the most acute task more store pickel task to be used once again to stop because still it is as quickly as possible to. ensure a proper transition to the political process thanks in your national rational pilot
8:43 am
who was kidnapped in africa and the american agents and convicted in the united states were given his sentence in september you have sat that pressure will not but will call for an astronaut check response. we are absolutely against violating the legitimate rights of the russian citizens abroad and including including. improper extradition and which took place in that particular case. unfortunately the issues those issues are not. being satisfactorily tackled by the americans say what they would like to see is that any response is of course you know what do you use to be most effective. what. proportion of. but russia has been consistently falling we are
8:44 am
with hearing there will be norms of international law so it used to be based on international law so we are not to violating international law in order to fight the violations of international law so this is there. i don't remember that they use the term. maybe it was there in the heat of some discussion but. the idea will spread this through to respond with illegal steps to illegal steps this is not the methods we use basically as a matter of principle used by the russian federation. for the human rights democracy thank you very. much but as all men thank you. wealthy british style.
8:45 am
markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy kinds of reports from. the people of the states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder is regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about it we know for a fact that there are there. is we're just being carried out at the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart you have a tremendous group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intel. his community and provide. data cheney is not going to be
