international law expert patrick crocker explains to colleagues attending the meetings how german law also covers officials who failed to prevent crime if. not for something intended for something they didn't do and what you didn't do was he did stop the people that committed the crimes and didn't stop the fires. because of the position of the lawyers know that officials did know what was going on and not just because the reports of torture leaking to the outside world is. that you know. it's. well having themselves been imprisoned by the regime need for five years and darwish for three and a half. in two thousand and two germany adopted the code of crimes against international law meaning they can now try crimes against humanity war crimes and genocide in germany even if they were committed elsewhere in accordance with the principle of universal jurisdiction this is one hundred one and so it is utterly unrealistic right now or to think that syria itself could take. these cases to trial. if you can see the principle enables any state in the world to assume jurisdiction and investigate

respect to these kinds of dealings because this is connected to the land deal that we did out there at crocker. so i want to know, and i think a lot of people want to know, not just me, how many employees do they have? what classifications are those employees in? what are the wage rates? what are the health care arrangements? where is the entity located, are there any complaints that have been filed against the entity, and so on and so forth. it is not much unlike the garden project. what we cannot do is we cannot undercut our own staff and have no strings attached. strings being opportunities for the community work forced to move in, get them on the job training, and move up to some other classification. it is totally disconnected. it is really out of convenience for us, and there's a lot of opportunity that we are really missing. i would like to give that information. i requested it before a year ago i will make sure that you get a list. we cannot keep making the same mistakes over and over again. quite frankly i was surprised to see this on the agenda. not for the first time, not having hea

. >> dan crocker with the american foreign service association. on the foreign policy side, we are facing a couple challenges, at least. just to pick one, the venezuela crisis. another one might be chinese mercantilism in a way that threatens geopolitical interest . when we look at this, we don't necessarily turn first to military options although that spear always has to be sharp at the tip. we are looking for diplomatic solutions. i would be interested in hearing republican study committee 's position on fully stuffing out a field force around the world. >> a lot of times, conservatives will reach out to us and say, you need to cut off foreign aid to this, that and the other country. if that is your background, you will know how important it is to keep us in a diplomatic perspective. that is something that is crucial, it is a way we have been able to push back on some of these uprisings. that is something we need to continue to do. i am not for sending a bunch of cash in a cargo plane to people who hate us, i don't think i need to draw that out

embassy in baghdad and any little moment you get, brian crocker came to see us that day, the ambassador in charge, it really lifts your spirits to know that people care. i'm proud of the president for doing this. i think it was the right move. some people have said well, is this reaction to syria. it takes weeks to plan this. david: some people also suggested that in fact, this was to divert attention from the shutdown but in fact, for all of the talk about the shutdown having something to do with this trip, the trip must have been planned before the shutdown actually happened. >> definitely. whether it's a cabinet official or the president, top levels at the pentagon and people on the ground, again, a trip like this would have been highly classified. that's why no one knew about it. >> who cares what anybody says? lifting the morale of these wonderful brave men and women in uniform that are out there protecting us for the betterment of us, there is nothing better than seeing smiles on their face and seeing how they look and how they feel on a day like today. good on the president. davi

generally did make a sybase to demand the name of the officer and he took it home at lunchtime and crocker told me about the stress of this book and what were they going to do with it. and then he had the brilliant idea that he would take it to a mosque in the mountains. >> host: so that part of the book is true. i wrote down more in lost history. a lot of history gets lost during war. >> guest: and culture and art. yes, as well as lines. >> host: welcome was that a couple callers on hold. let's hear from them before we move on to a couple of other geraldine brooks books you david, rochester, new york. you're on the air. good afternoon. >> caller: good afternoon. thank you. guess i have a questioning. i'm interested in how the historical novel works like an historian in many of the same way as. you unearth new facts here you go where the facts are. i'm just wondering did any historical novelists influence you when you started out being historical novelists and what looks do you like today that you enjoy reading? >> guest: that's a wonderful question. thank you for that question. it's true

international law expert patrick crocker explains to colleagues attending the meetings our german law also covers officials who failed to prevent crimes. not for something he did but for something that you didn't do and what you didn't do is he did stop the people that committed the crimes he didn't stop the crowds but. the question is is the lawyers know that officials did know what was going on and not just because of reports of torture leaking to the outside world is. in their view. that. it is. well having themselves been imprisoned by the regime for five years and darwish for three and a half. in two thousand and two germany adopted the code of crimes against international law meaning it can now try crimes against humanity war crimes and genocide in germany even if they were committed elsewhere in accordance with the principle of universal jurisdiction this is what at this stage is utterly unrealistic right now and to think that syria itself could take these cases to trial. because he the principle enables any state in the world to assume jurisdiction and investigate these crimes
