agnes callamard, the secretary general of amnesty international, condemned what she called "a state drivenack on a brilliant human rights lawyer because of his view on israel apartheid." she went on to say -- "the u.s. government has not engaged with the legal and empirical bases of positions on israel apartheid. instead it is censoring, shutting down debates, and threatening." omar shakir, who is the israel and palestine director at human rights watch, said the move "suggests that for the state department believing that palestinians deserve basic rights disqualifies one from serving on a human rights body. shameful and yet u.s. foreign policy in a nutshell." james cavallaro has become just the latest figure to lose or risk losing a position due to his iticism of israel. last year, the dean at harvard university's kennedy school of government vetoed a fellowship for former human rights watch executive director kenneth roth over his criticism of israel's human rights record. under public pressure, harvard recently reversed its decision. ken roth is at harvard now. we are joined now by james

. >> steve valdes simons is the amnesty international u.k.ugee and migrant right structure that can -- gave me his view. >> i am disappointed at the judgment today. it was the wrong decision of the home secretary to strip her citizenship. it is extremely important to note that the judges have not found the law required her citizenship to be stripped. they have not even found that she should have had her citizenship stripped. they have made clear that a very reasonab decision would have been not to strip her citizenship. but, they have found that the home secretary had the power to do this. it does seem that will be questioned. i sincerely hope it is. because, it is a position that puts citizenship, fundamentally, and improperly, at risk. the fact is, she is british. this country should remain responsible for its citizens, just as we expect other countries to be responsible for theirs. >> government was found not to have broken the law, the key thing here. no law was broken. so what the government did was within the legal parameter, within i o

there are human rights watch, amnesty international -- this has been looked into, proven and investigated. not to mention israeli organizations are saying about their own government and palestinians living under it for decades are saying it as well. i want to note that in fact, these are accepted ideas, except for bike countries like the united states which refused to acknowledge what the reality on the ground really is. mohammed: one issue i wanted to get into a little bit is to ask how big a problem is the disunity among palestinian leadership? when you have leadership fractured between the palestinian authority and the occupied west bank, what does that do when it comes to trying to resolve the situation? guest: obviously is very destructive. the old adage about a house divided against itself cannot stand certainly applies in the case of the palestinians. they have been deeply divided politically, geographically, institutionally for many years. it has been since 2007. that has been absolutely debilitating and has sapped the palestinian leadership of any ability to be effective either a

so when amnesty international human rights watch, i think who's boss has been charged for decades when they are so closely affiliated to the state. even though they may do some good things here or there. that, of course, things like the freedom index or us supported and jose are nothing more than mere tools, western governments to put pressure on there and happiness. thank you. professor mohammed miranda from the university of tehran, freedom, a term often used in speak by those in power. but last, an action, a society based on a freedom is supposed to granted those who exist within it, the ability to live their lives into as they wish, without interference from others or hindrance from their government. total freedom to some might be considered utopia. but the reality would probably be more like a nightmare. and orderly existence with any land can only occur with the presence of carefully crafted laws and rules, meant to protect its citizens. laws are crafted with the concept of promoting a good while discouraging the bad responsibility and personal choice or the priority. now radical

but it's worth mentioning, amnesty international have been following his case throughout the last 2 and a half years. say that he is the victim of a sure case trial the, he's not been given the district access to, to judge, to justice and, and to, and to a lawyer. and now as we mentioned, it is a german iranian journalist. so he is german citizenship has the german government been involved in his case at all? or has there been any official reaction this is shar mud. actually i was born in ran but grew up in germany and moved to the u. s. in 2003, so he does have access to german citizenship and his family who live in california have been lobbying the german government through the last he thought his time and an incarceration in iran and reached his case with german officials. and they've hoped that they will then reason his case with iranian officials. so far the german foreign ministry haven't yet issued a statement by would be surprised if they didn't. and last month, the leader of germany's biggest opposition party, she do you and frederick matchers, the leader of the seed. you also

just some people here or there are some countries here are there, there are human rights loc, amnesty international, the united nations. this is something that has been looked into proven investigated, not to mention the fact that israeli human rights organizations are saying it about their own government and palestinians that are decades are saying it as well. so i just want to know that in fact, these are quite expected ideas except for by countries like the united states, which refused to acknowledge what the reality on the ground really is. one issue i want to get into a little bit is to ask you how big a problem right now is the disunity among palestinian leadership. when you have leadership fractured between the policy and the authority and the oxford was bank and us. and i mean, what does that do when it comes to trying to resolve the situation? well, obviously it's, it's very destructive. i mean the old adage about a house divided against itself cannot stand. i think certainly applies the case of the palestinian. they've been deeply divided, lyrically geographically, institutionally for, fo

now admits camara. secretary general of amnesty international and she says the international community will have to greatly increase its capacity to put people on trial for war crimes. they are so many crimes that have been committed. we probably need additional investment additional mechanisms. the international community is very interested in trying the crime of aggression because russia committed a violation of the un charter it, it is a crime of aggression for which there must be accountability. the international criminal court cannot do that. the ukrainian judicial system cannot do that very well. in fact, the ukrainian judicial system cannot handle crimes against humanity at the moment. now also attending the munich security conference as european commission president ursula vonda nan. and she says, defense production as being wrapped up to meet the demands of the ukraine war. we are convening the european defense industry. basically ask them, what is it, what you need to scale up to speed up. that's important. and we have these infrastructure for that. the european piece facilit
