amb.ck: this war has been catastrophic on civilians across the entire country. what we are seeing in darfur in particular at the hands of the rsf are targeted killings based on ethnicity. statements in perpetrator's own words saying they want to eradicate particular ethnic groups from the region and entirely. you can see sexual violence rampant. men and boys being killed, including infants. these are the types of things that prosecutors around the world will rely upon in order to infer that perpetrators are acting with genocidal intent. amna: use all statements of intent, the targeting of specific ethnic groups. that is over the duration of the war or particular time period? amb. van schaack: we are able to collect more information about these statements of intent and see the aggregate. genocide is different from war crimes. you have to show the special intent to destroy the group and that can be quite difficult when you don't have access. amna: there's sanctions from the treasury departme

amb.an: i cannot speak for greenland or panama, but for canada, my impression is -- and i have worked with him -- i think he is a negotiator and he is positioning himself for the beginning of those negotiations, as are we, and i look forward to actually getting down and talking substance. amna: in terms of how you are getting ready, obviously these two nations are each other's largest trading partners. mr. trump is threatening 25% tariffs on all canadian imports. what would be the impact of tariffs of that size on canada's economy and how would canada respond? amb. hillman: it's first important to point out that when this proposal, if you will, came from the president around potentially adopting 25% tariffs on all canadian imports, it was on the basis of border security, and since that time, we have listened to what he said and we have put forward a very expansive, $1.3 billion plan to buy new helicopters, additional physical resources and personnel. we are proposing something that the inc

amb. neumann: that is a. as you drive and then he lined one year is summer lending on an auto von bismarck's comment that the two things people should never see is making a policy or a sausage because they are disgusting. a lot of different influences come to bear on policy decisions. extracting responsibility will be very different. will be very different. ultimately you need to look very closely at not just decisions presidents made, but asked. there are some problems in our structure. we don't have a way of having one person responsible on the ground. when i am talking to clients sometimes we are the first place where the responsibility for action on the ground comes together. that is the president of the united states. there is no earlier place where the lines of communication process. we have actually mentioned that in my writtenthe lines of commun process. we have actually mentioned that in my written testimony. an experience where we did have a unified chain of command a lower down in the courts. the q

[applause] amb. green: thank you, robin, for the kind words.ood morning, happy new year, and welcome to the wilson center. the wilson center is a unique institution in american foreign policy. we are congressional charters, and we are fiercely nonpartisan and independent. and i always say that that special status brings with it special obligations, obligations to prioritize the most important issues and opportunities and to try to do so in ways that add value when it hopefully makes a difference. it is an honor to have all of you here in person and virtually for what promises to be a critical and timely discussion on combating anti-semitism, a topic that demands our constant vigilance and collective action. sadly, anti-semitism is not a relic of history. it is a modern-day threat, from violent attacks on jewish communities to the rise of hateful rhetoric online, we are witnessing troubling trends worldwide, disastrous trends worldwide. antisemitism's spread presents a challenge to democracy, undermining the fabric of our society. it is our resp
