you know walk over you know secretary general it's really great to have you with us and i don't know over two centuries ago george byron reflected and asked and saluting you would think that two centuries later in twenty first century because we think we're more civilized things are better but are they really better for instance in egypt or libya i would say definitely much much better of course a very direct comparison says the danger of thing but let me first say that the overall concept the feeling of the necessity to preserve the culture. of course it's an old one with at the same time we need to have a new reading and meaning so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something also very. their approach in the flea we

see conflicts we see internal. we see wars and very often. such monuments which are on the wall headed picture least or even important monuments which are not desired from the world heritage are being affected by the destroyed or damaged or there are some disputes and of course it's it's only deplorable that this is happening now or to really want to accentuate alleviate just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know if you know ask the sides there have been damaged or bombed from the very first a sample size this side of the conflict i have raunch appeals to all the involved parties. i have spoken. then the attorney to a wacko spoken also to the to the levy and so i have appealed to the libyan people

. to preserve this monument you know after the i called him in the tenth of the conflict will be sending commissions there but there is another aspect also means to treat such cases which i think is important apart from damaging a monument. as an aftermath of of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very unfortunate it's mostly i will get to that later but i really want to ask you. after something like this happens that one juror to call their cultural heritage is destroyed or damaged is anyone answer for that is anyone persecuted for that afterwards i came to say that situations have very different. situations for example in some of the african countries affected by conflict let me take could give you another example of a similar case but rather from some of the mystic point of view of domestic social

strike for civil war in fact and this is the democratic republic of congo where we have for their true parts which i described on the world heritage she stand in fact they represent an incredible important old sole. means of securing a bride of the greatest city and place to trolling the climate change. they're even after and i'm talking particularly of the view i'm going to show in the park which is seeing the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged against the now i hold the situation is of course improving and we have been appealing for a long time to the government and they say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me is that the general to the government or take concrete measures and now finally these january i together with the prime minister at the very core of them

conference in kinshasa we drafted to joint plan for preserving of safeguarding of this important part of the goal the concrete measures of doing decreasing by one so for. educating some of the war yes they're participating going back to educating them and giving them the feeling that preserving it's very important that they support their own interests to try interest to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations that differ and i know that you and yes there in general always appeals to protect the cultural heritage different countries but just organisation actually has the means or the arsenal to do it to protect it we don't have we have not because we don't capable casks or something like that or do it but in very many cases so similar cases and in this

particular i let me just national could be it's a different player but it's once again natural disaster to be pretty worse effect on the kerry picture we work with the partners that are on the field and who are in fact intrusted with the practical day to day i would say business of police securing. the order and the record structure in the particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling them to quit it's now some estimates have it that the turnover from smuggling antiquities is almost as big as track trafficking human trafficking and arson arms sales is that really the case you're entirely right that the trafficking there for objects of our approach and the thing i would say sequels of the traffic you've put them in being so. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency a situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we are very much

committed to strengthening international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy in the school convention on the prohibiting the ability to try thinking of cultural objects it's important to secure more rectification through this convention nowadays we have more than one country plenty of countries that have it here to this convention and there are positive tendencies in the international corporation these last two years some of the countries that represent the biggest markets of antique or cultural objects like belgium and the netherlands said have ready to fight the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating with the. new also open arming them with some of the because actual policies i personally visited recently the headquarters for us for christie's and we decided to start the corporation in terms of capacity be we think of sensible things sensitizing the public opinion all the stakeholders we

work with the of course we've been clear probably be international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation of other countries by concrete examples of returning such objects of. i have fought so personally assisted a very moving ceremony when can they return to my country of origin by getting twenty one thousand objects exported from the country through canada and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven to mexico convention there was no other legal way of for doing it while you sat that major auction house is helping very responsive to your appeal the question remains who are the smugglers and where . those people who buy their stuff well i mean the smugglers are. the same throughout the say smugglers set up doing the smuggling of arms. for human beings

and otherwise unfortunately all of the illegal trafficking is the most i would say called the i stand but there are always people on both sides have for who are doing that but the important thing is for the countries. of origin to have the means and the only and the capacity to curb this smuggling in on the other side also ethics to have the moral norms also all of the different departments to do it or not to do it in fact we have done that we have. drafted a called the vet fix for the trip for the a trade that for a cultural group so i think this is a very important that it's taken on board by all the different and then of course the national registration took up the respective. introduction of norms international legislations saw that then such smugglers supper security impunity in

this case is a very bad signal if you think there is a connection between arms sales drug seeking and smuggling antiquities well. i think yes we have read legacies in the reports and of course because these are big money as you said and. very valuable things and as long as there is such an interest and that there might be only yes what do you think is the money from sales use for it could be used to finance new wars for instance yes i mean like all the legal other smuggling it's corruption. of course it's also conflicts it's it's horse it's all different kinds of illegal activity yes but what is most important is. deprives the whole country of their heritage it deprives people who up for their great tend to it after all they are all from their identity

need i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries you can crawl away. trucks you can throw away right but it's somewhere that you can't return and what is lost in terms of carry it's enough. you can. find to stop security by something called base countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for his interest.

so. this was a city. of about one hundred ninety thousand people and we had eighty thousand people working for general motors. or a job that depended on general motors. general motors is if it's not relations you it might be your neighbor somebody you knew so it's kind of

a family run business you know myself i'm third generation my father was working there and you have a lot of two three and four generation family there their first let's understand that it is this is a family doesn't want. any should not. it is gone rewarding manzil work. i think for a long time this notion merica that bigger is better was simply an undisputed fact in the twenty first century smarter going to be better general motors simply became too large for their own good and so many brands that they couldn't even keep up with they just basically became a dinosaur. it was like it was future situations.
