amb. carpenter: thank you, chairman keating, ranking member fitzpatrick, and distinguished members of the subcommittee. i greatly appreciate this opportunity to appear before you today to testify on the topic of accountability for russia's including war crimes in ukraine. atrocities the osc has a unique and important role in documenting horrific atrocities russia has committed and continues to commit in ukraine. as some of my colleagues testified last week in the helsinki commission's hearing on russia's war crimes in ukraine, one of the oce's most powerful tools is the ability to quickly establish and deploy a fact-finding mission even without the consensus of participating states. on march 3, 45 osc participating states, a record majority that included the united states invoked, with ukraine support, what is informally known as the moscow mechanism. in less than two weeks, the mission was launched. mandated to examine possible violations and abuses of human rights in violation of interna

amb. tai: thank you, chairman, ranking member and members of this committee. i appreciate the opportunity to be here today to discuss the president's trade agenda. president biden believes trade can be a force for good. that grows the middle class and addresses inequality. he believes we are at our strongest when we work with others around the world. over the last year in coordination with my colleagues across the administration, we have worked to repair strained relationships and recommitted the u.s. to the world's institution. these partnerships have led to the united response to russia's unjustified attack on ukraine. turning specifically to our work at ustr, our agenda begins with putting workers at the center of our trade policy. when we defend the rights of workers at home and abroad, labor standards go up and we race to the top. farmers, ranchers, fissures and food manufacturers are key to our trade agenda and we have delivered real, economically meaningful wins for them. the 232 ta

amb.the provisional agenda for this meeting is nonproliferation. nick: in new york today, a failed attempt to further isolate north korea. amb. thomas-greenfield: we cannot let this become the new norm. we cannot tolerate such dangerous and threatening behavior. nick: the security council rejected a u.s.-led resolution to sanction north korea and deliver humanitarian aid, because of russian and chinese vetoes. through a translator, chinese ambassador said sanctions would punish the people of north korea, whose official acronym is dprk. amb. jun: additional sanctions against dprk would only add to the misery of the dprk people and, in this sense, neither right nor humane. nick: the vote was a response to north korea's testing three missiles on tuesday, including what the u.s. says was the sixth intercontinental ballistic missile launch just this year. the response wn't only diplomatic. hours after the north korean test, south korea and the u.s. launched short-range missiles and displayed do
