to the united nations or to new bodies the security council and the general assembly general assembly is the ones that security council and russia has a veto which will it will use to lead. in anything concrete on the ground france and scornful or says stop it on the front end. to help the people it will not continue to do that if it's going to be militarily russians are . the ones who are calling the shots these days they control assad they control they have troops on the ground the planes in the air so it's quite hopeless situation on the theory if they're saying clave is not already split into two or it's just about in effect to be split into two is this the beginning of the and again from eastern guta. i'm afraid it would be yes because they are outnumbered by the government troops who are not on on the highway haven't been to various last few needs they're now pushing forward the way they see the end in sight for them so. they have russian out there even any help. from the others that the opposition now is facing now facing an onslaught from the government and from the turks as w

the united nations. the revolutions don't supply with their very existence depends on the resolution. the general assemblyresolutions are binding. then we could say amen. they partitioned palestine and set some of the israeli state. you can see you can have a whole joint conflict. for the particular fine print. it doesn't have international comp patients. still an indispensable part of the united nations. there is always the israeli exception. almost every resolution that comes up. is being weighed in the balance. the nuclear not proliferation. the united states is the non- proliferation treaties. what is now the five cabinet members should have nuclear weapons. and then it condones nuclear weapons in israel. every other country in the world pakistan if them why not us. you are creating exceptional's to your own rules that other people walk in through. the settlements in particular and the u.s. has actually approved them. they have changed the language over the years. as far as the u.s. is concerned jerusalem is international territory. i believe the showing this i think i read earlier this year that the

denying the efficacy of united nations and its legitimacy in saying that the resolution don't apply but their very existence depends on the resolution. you hear continually that general assemblyresolutions are often binding and we could say amen because it was a general assembly resolution and the partition palestine and set up the israeli state. [applause] you could have a conclave to work your way out of this particular presence it does have international complications because the united states was a founding member of the united nations and it is still an indispensable part of united nations and it is inconceivable that the united nations would exist without the united states taking part in it. this creates a problem because this is always the exception. almost every resolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance and nuclear nonproliferation, we saw with grants presentation earlier, the united states is significant for nonproliferation treaty that says nothing apart from what is now the five permanent members and have nuclear weapons and then it condones nuclear weapons in israel. because it does that every other country in the world and eckstein says hey, if the

the efficacy of the united nations, its legitimacy saying the resolutions don't apply but their very existence depends on a resolution. you hear continually it seems that general assembly resolutions are binding. and we could say amen, because it was a general assembly resolution that partitioned palestine and separated the israeli state . [applause] so you can see you could have a joint conclave with jesuit fellows to work your way out of this particular where you are denying the basis for your own existence. it does have international complications because the united states was a founding member of the united nations. it's still an indispensable part of the united nations. it's inconceivable the un would exist without the united states taking part in it. and there are problems because there's always the israeli exception. almost everyresolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance . nuclear nonproliferation, the presentation earlier. the united states has nonproliferation treaties that say no country over what is now the five permanent members should havenuclear weapons and then it condones nuclear weapons in israel and because it does that, every other coun

treatment of israel in the united nations and it's an entity that is frequently home to anti-israel resolutions that attempts to de-legitimize israel. in the 71st session the u.n. general assembly adopted 18 resolutions directed at israel. resolutions on which the united states voted no. the dominican republic voted for each of these 18 resolutions. we have also seen them at the oas to be less than cooperative on efforts to pressure the venezuelan government and in essence, efforts to allow the oas to function the way it's supposed to and to have the democracies in the region to protect democracy and that condemnations that are violating it and obviously one of the reasons potentially why this is happening is their membership is a group of countries that receive subsidized oil from venezuela in exchange for influence in their government. i would just ask do you commit to this committee that this is an issue that you will begin a dialogue at the highest levels with the government, both on their anti-israel votes at the united nations and also at their consistently not wanting to vote in favor of supporting democracy in the region. will you commit to this committee that that will

the united nations, and directly with the government of burma. we wasted six times at the un security council and cosponsored was aleutians at the when human rights council and the general assembly. ensuringhat is part of of raising awareness of issues people should be aware of. >> you mentioned the government and we refused visas to go to burma and there is real concern about the lack of justice and accountability. question is on the looming military and crisis, and in the government do more to address accountability of those responsible for what the foreign described asttee crimes against manny and others described as a genocide? it isminister may: disappointing that visas were refused and you weren't able to conduct that and see those conditions for yourself. -- the continue government of bangladesh what continue to press this issue with the government of burma on this matter. and continued to do what we can to ensure the plight of the attention -- is brought. and when things like this happen, they get focused immediately, and then after a period of time it falls out of the news and people speaking, and will continue to ensure that it catches up with people's awareness. >> th

they have been busily denying he he have if i can of the united nations but their very existence depend on a resolution. you continuously general assembly resolutions are not binding. we could say amen, because it was general assembly resolution that part tish shunned palestine and set up the israeli state. [applause] so, you can see you could have a whole joint conclave of jesuits and talmud scholars, with the fine print, denying the basis of your own existence. the united states was founding member of the united nations. it is still indispensable part of the united nations. it is inconceivable that the united nations would not exist without the united states taking part in it. this creates severe problems because there is always the israeli exception. every resolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance. nuclear non-proliferation, we saw with grant's presentation earlier, the united states is signatory to non-proliferation treaties that say no country apart from the, what is now the five permanent members should have nuclear weapons. and it condones nuclear weapons in enrace. because it does that, every other country in the

the united nations obviously directly with the government of burma as well. we raised it six time at the u.n. security council. we cosponsored resolutions at the u.n. human rights council and the general assembly. i think that -- so part of enjoying others make commitments is raising awareness that this is an issue that people should be addressing you. >> mentioned the government of burma itself. you may remember we as a committee were refused visas to go to burma and there is very real concern about the lack of justice and accountability. so while my focus in asking questions today is on the looming humanitarian crisis, can i really press the government to do more to address accountability of those who are responsible for what the foreign affairs committee described against those crimes against humanity and those have described as a genocide? >> yes, and obviously -- i suppose it's disappointing to say that the visas were refused so you weren't able to conduct that visit and to be able to see those conditions for yourself. we will continue to support the government of bangladesh and continue to press this as an issue with the government of burma on this matter. and continue to do what we can
