it's changed plans including those of president value of speaking of the second and final day of the global policy forum it touched upon the major challenges russia's facing right now are his correspondence and now is there. almost certainly a lot of debate and discussion took place at this two day forum just by the tragedy nevertheless the president felt it was the right thing to do to begin his keynote speech with a moment of silence but you because then you are citizens were killed in the crash as well as citizens of several other countries with a definitive silence to honor their memory question which if you buy the. president went on to give his speech it focused on multiculturalism of course that's the theme of this year's forum here in jaroslav all right he spoke a lot about the briefs in society as snake income wise and how that can lead to problems in society and about how russia needs to take

a steady growth towards modernization another thing that has come up very much so athens today forms of course the situation in the mideast and north africa especially concerning libya and syria and in fact joining me now to speak more about that and who better to know about the situation there is the presidential envoy to africa kilmer galen thank you very much for joining us up one of our themes that we hear often from the president even russia in general especially over the past couple of years that you can do to other countries. not just that you have the idea that the president has made a few days before about of course is in reference to people that just because someone doesn't do something that we think that you're going to meet that you won't force it wasn't for him to be reviewing your work nato to pound teaching countries to help democracies they will consider of the right you know for me personally it's not difficult to defend he says because there's only one bad thing about marcus who

cannot impose through difficult to impose with democracy he should group within the society and very often in these societies and the parts of the world which we're talking about. to have to do some home organize themselves from medieval ages story structure and medieval ages style mentality so i think that it's really very difficult just to bring the blueprints from any western or eastern capital to this part of the world and say hey this is the way you have to do it. just finally i want to talk about syria do you think that it will turn into another libya i hope not i hope not that's why russia is working hard in order to build bridges between the governments of the opposition on the ninth of september will be receiving again the delegation of the syrian opposition we shall be receiving the representatives are for the syrian government on the eleventh of the twelfth of september we are

working hard in order to help syrians to predict that a talking mechanism between two camps which are fighting against each other and these fighting does not serve the national interests of syria thank you very much transparent front helmar kill of a presidential envoy to africa and of course over the today forum pretty much the main theme when it comes to security what's happening there how that debate of course will continue but a lot of work done here at the global policy forum in their stock and that's a lot of work in a business desperate is just a couple of seconds. for the film we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on.

peaceful campaign for statehood ahead of the un vote while in israel tensions grow with police clashed with protesters called repressive government. so your attention to libya and more insight into what's happening the latest interview is coming right up for you. well today we're joined by mr thomas herbert european commissioner for human rights talking to us from a stars poor thanks very much mr however for joining us now let's get right to where well we know that there were cia prisons in europe and people were tortured and now you're pushing for it it's true what more should we know there is a lot more to know because we haven't heard the full account for what really happened and who took the decisions and on what grounds these black sites were established on european soil of the things that we still have to know what do you

think is most important i think we have to learn from history and unfortunately during this period of ten years very serious human rights violations were committed and we have an atmosphere impunity when it comes to these violations of human rights i think the truth has to come out on board really happened who took the decisions who allowed the establishment of these secret places of detention and thereby allowing torture to take place now is the story came to light i mean there have been some governments ordering investigations will they found very little so far do you think it's possible that they're deliberately trying to play it out and if so is there any truth of them doing so well there is an enormous pressure from washington to keep all this secret in fact instructions from from cia with the support of the way told not to give any facts on this so therefore it's not easy to investigate but i think that some of the european governments who have been in war

they have to decide whether they think that the cooperation between the security agencies are more important than to attack to look into human rights violations and break the country of impunity ok well we're talking here about european officials authorizing these rendition sites but what about those who. actually masterminded and those who were directly involved do you think say officials will ever be held accountable for their actions unfortunately it's not likely but if the european governments could take this step to really put out everything they know and publish that it may start a process in united states with the accountability also there is established how was it not likely he said it's not likely because this is there is an atmosphere of security confidentiality around this. notion that when it comes to the activities of a security agency the truth be told to the public and i think that is

a real problem because here we have had corporation between the united states security agency and european agencies under which human rights violations were seriously seriously violated and it is very important that we know when we know the violations were made that we establish that there should be democratic control of the security agencies activities well there are claims that the u.s. and the u.k. set prisoners to be tortured in libya to the gadhafi regime does that seem likely to you yes it's very likely and it fits a pattern and also they are now documents being discovered in tripoli that this actually did happen ok and you've seen a proof of such things happening yourself no not myself but i have been reports last week from human rights watch showing that there was such activities and

typically are. not made subject for comment from the cia in washington because they have the policy of never making any public comments on such revelations as the commander of the rebel forces that's. simply he demanded an apology from western powers over he. is a legislation two thousand ford i legibly he was arrested in bangkok and had to get off the forces for torture now how do you think they're going to explain their alleged murky deals with the coffee to the rebels because now they're essentially on the same side i think the question has to be given to through washington. is an explanation given there but he was obviously one of those who were picked up during this so-called war on terror he was in guantanamo that's shown and he was obviously one of those who are badly treated and i think he and others this is an apology some of them who were brought there to grant on a more or to the secret places of detention or to partner countries of the

united states in this where they were tortured they were not probably not innocent but still even people who are on good ground suspected they have the right to certain protection when it comes to human rights including not to be tortured that the rebels are now in control and foreigners are reportedly in danger especially black africans because i well there have been accusations of them being put out these mercenaries how do you think this will affect the building of a democratic society in libya you know i'm not an expert on they've got my focus is on europe but obviously there is a problem there and human rights organizations have already reported about problems when it comes to how rebels have dealt with africans who have been accused of being mercenaries for photographing we could just do our best in order to ensure that those people are well treated some of them of course may well be genuine refugees

from other parts of africa who were trying to reach europe past via libya and got stuck there and i think it's very important that also european governments deal with refugees from libya coming from other parts of africa in line with the international standards when it comes to decide. policies oh look at the humanitarian crisis now in libya that has been reported what do you think is the area that needs the most attention at the moment and how are they going to go and to go about solving these humanitarian problems i mean this is very general can we break them down here first of all it is important to establish security in the country so that the normal life could start again secondly to build democracy because there was no democracy there which is very difficult challenge on a hope that there could be a generous approach from from europe to share the experiences we have when it comes to the steps to be taken in order to build institutions democratic ones and to allow for. genuine willow people to be channeled into political decision making

ok well going back to what you were an expert on those black sites what do you think is the next step now that the story house come out into the public in poland they have already started through the prosecutor and investigation and i think it's very important that his work is protected and that there is no attempt to slow down his work because he's sensitive when nations if with the united states in romania their work hasn't really started there was one investigation by a political group from the senate but the prosecutor has not started an investigation and i really hope that office will now take the initiative and start and are rushing the situation and come up with a report now you're saying it's important that the investigation is not block it earlier you were expressing your concerns that there could be directives from higher up to to not give enough information how do you go about going about that

hurdle the way you're dealing with governments here is very difficult because of this notion that activities by the security agencies and their cooperation between themselves so be kept secret at all cost i think that is really the notion that we . we have now to start discussing because so many human rights violations have been committed under that notion and the time has come to establish a democratic control of the security agencies they should not be allowed to take action which violate basic human rights yes should not be but do you think that just let's just look at concrete actions we're talking about what is right what is law from your point of view but concrete arches i'm just wondering really legally speaking will it be possible to get all of the truth out i think it will be very difficult unfortunately but i hope that the discussion that may come now will encourage some of the political brain steps and deposition when it comes to this

because it is not acceptable that we have states within the states who are run on undemocratic basis and violating human rights and the security agencies must be put under democratic control and they are not for the moment in my opinion well you said you are using the tap out of verse three of nine eleven to raise the issue of cia black sites so why is that because. you know. i think that the first priority of course is to pay respect to the victims of the attack on the united states ten years ago but then we also have at the same time to look at how did the us government and european governments respond to this attack and unfortunately i think there is a lot of lessons to be learned from how this war on terror so-called war on terror was conducted which allowed for very serious human rights violations which unfortunately also had the effect that terrorism has spread the militant groups

have increased. the number of people killed and many of them innocent doing those ten years they also deserve some respect in this situation and therefore i think it's absolutely important that. the way we handled this gruesome attack will be an honest discussion so that we don't repeat this in the future and speaking of the militant groups you just released a report based on your visit to russia's north caucasus which is of course a region there marked by sporadic violence by terrorists how do you assess the struggle against the terrorists over there the struggle is still going on there have been some positive initiatives taken a lot of money has been put on budgets in order to improve the standard of living in the area. there is a focus more on the social dimension of this the roots for terrorism which i think

is very positive but unfortunately there is still also a problem of impunity that the crimes which have been committed including by law enforcement forces have not answered satisfactorily addressed and people guilty responsible have not been brought to justice so there is still a need to do more when it comes to that aspect all right well thank you very much every time mr thomas howard human rights commissioner of the council of europe thank you. thank you.
