human rights council, accusing the council being biased against israel. >> for too long, the human rights council has been a protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias. regrettably, it isis now clear r call for reform was not heated. amy: the significance of this? >> yet again, the u.s. is proclaiming that only its views count. the views of the entire world on these issues are simply irrelevant, as far as this administration is concerned. the u.s. has run interference for israel, prececting it in the united nations for decades now. i expect that to continue irrespective of whether trump stays on after 2020. at this is the most egregious example i've ever seen. amy: i want to go back to john bolton because he is the powerhouse now. last month, the national secure divisor announced the trump administration would close the palestine liberation organization's office in washshington in response to a palestinian effort to push the icc to investigate israel for war crimes. this is bolton making the announcement in a speech at the federalist society. >> the trump administr

[applause] [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: yeah, thank you very much. please stick to your speaking time. for one minute. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: president, well, i think we can't see this as unique. we need to look at what happens in china and iran. now, obviously, we condemn what has happened in this crime. looking at this from the west, in particular from europe, is erdogan meant

amongst all those who have worked with him who know him saudi arabia sits on the united nations human rights council i think that's a reasonable position to maintain no not at all has been calling for a review of its position on the human rights council if it stands for reelection for the subsequent for three additional years we think that should at least be suspended and their human rights situation reviewed not just because of the disappearance of jamal khashoggi but because of the waves of arrests arbitrary detentions accusations of torture some which have been have been have been shown through the rates of execution and not least what's happening in yemen in some form a question who in the international community is going to say to saudi arabia. iraq so show shows this guy's alive or risk your place on the u.n. human rights council we need the president of the united states and frederica mongering to step up to the plate to to to pull a veil off this unfolding catastrophe. for me thank you very much indeed that's all from for us finding. lawrence thanks very much jamal khashoggi fiance her teach

eye to eye on this particular issue but there have been real consequences pulling out of the human rights council as i mention is a direct result of the us feeling that israel is unfairly attacked in that body all right so where does this leave the relationship between the us and the un given trumps america first policy and he's no lover all support of the un and its. as we saw just two weeks ago and president from second address at the united nations he made a contrast between what he called globalism versus patriotism somehow suggesting that supporting the u.n. let alone multilateral approaches as we've seen on trade issues for instance are not in the interests let alone inconsistent with u.s. values to take a specific policy issue that i mentioned earlier refugee issues this is where people like embassador nikki haley helped to soften some of the edges of america first approach by advocating for the u.s. standing up taking leadership on refugees especially at a time when we see an unprecedented level of a crisis regarding refugees whereas within the white house an announcement has been made to

human rights council describing it at the time as being a cesspool of political bias now in september of this year is it just a month ago i don't actually slammed the international criminal court this was over alleged attempts that it might pursue americans over allegations of crimes in afghanistan saying that they would threaten and attack it if that happened and now of course we've got this slamming of this latest judgment by the international court of justice over these a rainy and sanctions well as i mentioned donald trump slammed just last month the international criminal court. and threats. thrown about and this is what he had to say last month. as far as america is concerned has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. play near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process. well let's have a look at that judgement today that's come from the international court of justice all men state well they were asked to rule on a number of sanctions that were imposed on iran by the u.s. don't trumpet ministra

actually withdrew from the un human rights council describing it as being a cesspool of political bias we also had in september of this year donald trump slamming the international criminal court over the fact that it could look at prosecuting americans for alleged war crimes in afghanistan right now this is what he said at the time. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. planes near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process now in relation to the ruling today over those reigning in sanctions and the lifting of those sanctions the international court of justice said that it had to lift sanctions relating to certain items such as medicines medical aids as well as food stuff and some equipment into the country it also said that the usa had violated the treaty of one thousand nine hundred fifty five this is the treaty of amity between two country which was to try and forge closer relations now of course iran has reacted to this judgement today say

very concerned is that japan is all but ignoring a recommendation by the un human rights council's monitoring mechanism of last year to return the acceptable dose of radiation back to what it was before the fukushima disaster in essence japan has raised the acceptable level of radiation from one millisieverts per year to twenty mostly where it's pretty clear and we're concerned that there is an inadequate assurance of safety in particular for women. who are or may be pregnant as well as young children who are growing up in an area so what could be the impact on people's health if they do work and levels that high. well one of the primary concerns that we have is potential for an increased risk of cancer. the risk of childhood exposure to radiation. the risks have not been adequately demonstrated and proven to be safe that certain dosages including the dosages that japan is alleging to be safe so we're quite concerned about an increased risk of cancer and other health effects and i know also you've highlighted the dangers posed to women and children is that because you see them as being more v

that report that was issued by the human rights council in houma last council and we need the progress that was made by sudan or was a plea. this year this is the first and the most important. report that we've got since twenty five years and what is in sudan is improving and more situation is improving and we believe that the prob is that we have just made and recorded at the home of us currency is a progress as it would be sustainable and a progress which will fit though of course in the past there have been all sorts of allegations against your government and your president particularly with regard to doff or you remember former secretary of state colin powell accused your government of committing genocide genocide there are two international arrest warrants out for your president from the international criminal courts those are still there well the fact that african union said that it is not having confidence in the international criminal court nor is the united states. also so many said was joining. this unanimity mading you know nudity against the i.c.c. tells us that whatever ac

withdrew from the human rights council now seeing that this is happened it leaves one question how will the u.s. or any other western country for that matter be kept in check without an effective international governing body and it looks like of this move might just revive those discussions with the u.s. putting in south above a modest man but also those countries that probably don't feel they've got recourse to action now ok so maybe calm and washington thanks for that well ultimately video agency has been asking people in town what they think about the international court ruling on lifting some of the sanctions. they are not the world knows that the us is while aided the war they don't have them all know their own words they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those problems with our country accepted that this act is illegal donald trump it's crazy really crazy what is is same when he doesn't understand what his same. officials and even civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive demands this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends
