when the human rights council talks about those facts and the conflict there's literally just one linef the human rights council. and i guess it's the job of the own you institute all of this community to try to bring this together to say these issues these public health issues and the human rights and humanitarian issues are very closely bound and questions around the legality of for instant attacks on healthcare has much greater ramifications than simply the immediate military advantage which right now is a basis of ih elsewhere i'm grateful for for the nud response that you've given to this because you make it so much it's been acknowledging where law is, the struggle and then also certain rx that are important for us to reflect upon, which is 255, 30 years ago when women actually see the response of one sees now. do you also flag something else think this is important motive for our conversation which you and so grateful that you are here for those poor inner audience and also in our viewing ideas through c-span, much of your work has been behind the scenes in very profound ways. y

in 2022, china was accused of having used it in the un human rights council. there was a proposal to talk just talk about chinese human rights violations against the countries weak or muslim minority in internment accounts. here are the 47 countries in the council at the time these countries said yes to talking these countries said no. these upstate note that a lot of the african countries in the council voted know, china has invested in infrastructure projects in some of the countries that voted yes and all of the countries that voted no. the proposal was rejected. of course, it could have been a coincidence kind of interesting increase because most of the respirator to those complex, the, even the learn from time to learn chinese is maybe to ask her for more like more time this model. and that's their choice. one thing is for sure, china is involvement in ports. it's cementing a global network with political allies and trade ties. now that china has built that trade network, it's anxious to protect it. let's look at one of those key choke points we mentioned

but now getting a more confirmation from the human rights council. certainly certainly paints a very, very grim picture and really goes against what the as really government talking points have been proving that they have been wrong in what they've been saying that they are not targeting women and children. they clearly are from this report. and they saying that justice needs to be done. what are they saying needs to happen for justice to be. so, a lot of things, but what vulgar turk day, i can make sure every human rights are saying is it, we need to say that when he say we means the united nations and any parties involved here need to preserve evidence of what is happening, preserve evidence document evidence, so it can be used perhaps in the international court in the future. but clearly he says in his words, there needs to be a reckoning. and, and the 1st step of that is preserve the evidence. so it can be used for possible criminal trial or criminal prosecution in the future by an international court. thank so much gabriel. that is on the, from

last year, the united nations human rights council adopted a resolution condemning the desecration ofeligious texts, including the koran, despite opposition from the previous government. acts of such mindless desecration only serve to fuel division and hatred within our society. will the prime minister commit to introducing measures to prohibit the desecration of all religious texts and the prophets of the abrahamic religions? prime minister starmer: can i agree that desecration is awful and should be condemned across the house. we are, as i said before, committed to tackling all forms of hatred and division, including islamophobia in all of its forms. >> sarah and her family have farmed beef cattle in my constituency for over 70 years and they had always planned for her sister to continue the family legacy. earlier this year, sarah's mother died suddenly and unexpectedly. she was just 58. sarah said to me that, despite already having a tragic year, it was made even worse after the budget. saying that changes to agricultural property relief have hit as hard when we are already struggl

human rights council. i used to be dashed if we can say the same of other global institutions.they have learned to play the game because this institutions were defined under the premise that even desperate want to be part of a global community. i i think that it's very clear that it want to be part of western democracies or liberal democracies. they believe democracy is not a model what you think is the biggest shift we've seen. if we recall the rhetoric of the cold war, they never said they were fighting democracy. they said they were fighting imperialism or capitalism. even they recognize the soft power of democratic ideal. however, we see in open that we get of the strong man, the identity democracies are not efficient now that they're in the open. they believe they have an alternative model. we're living an existential crisis for early democracy globally. >> seems like these regimes also are increasingly focused on maintaining power. they don't mind becoming a failed state. and seems like this makes of them more reckless and how they, and how they exert repression. do you t

has been hijacked at the human rights council in geneva where i'm based, 60% are dictatorships, the chinese qatar, which sponsors terrorists, they control 60% of the seats. they appoint absurd anti-western, anti-american, anti-semetic u.n. experts who openly say that hamas has, quote, the right to resistance so we need someone to clean house and i'm confident elise stefanik is the person to do that. maria: mike huckabee has been talking so much about israel, before being nominated. what can he do? what can he achieve in the role of ambassador? >> the moment he hits the ground the united states sent a message to the world, we have the backs of our allies. sadly for the past few years even though biden at various moments did stand with israel, other times he put pressure on israel to stop its war with hamas, to pause. had israel listened to hamas, they never would have gone to rafah to get the head of hamas who eventually was found and eliminated. they never would have gone into lebanon the way they did, eliminating incredibly nasrallah and the others. so we need america to send a clear messa

human rights council, is rife with anti-semitism. it's unbelievable how bad it is. unra is filled to overflowing with hamas sympathizers and hamas activists who teach children each day of the week to hate jews and to kill. read the hamas charter. it says if you see a jew behind a rock kill him or her. that's what's being funded by the u.s. government and funded, not right this minute but has been in the recent past. we should never do it again. let me also say that the guidelines, you know, i encourage every member to read them. they're very simple. they parallel the osce conference held in 2002 and then the berlin conference in 2004. the idea that of the conference came out of a hearing i chaired in twoosm i recommended it. and the ose took it tough. he bush administration took it up. that conference had the berlin declaration in 2004. rabbi baker did a master. job and a few others but especially him in word smithing. a tremendous action plan. and of course the global guidelines certainly parallel that. so this -- you mentioned, certainly the special ambassador lip

this is the same united nations that has the following countries on its -- on its human rights councilomalia, iraq, venezuela, china. that's who thinks we should get rid of this military base. i mean, this is not some act of justice here. but in any event, the united nations is saying the united kingdom, you bad people, give back -- give the chagos islands back, but not let the chagos be free, they want to give the chagos islands back to mauritius. and president biden could stop it and so could vice president harris, but they're for it. all in an effort to curry favor with the people at the united nations who walk around with their npr tote bags and their organic broccoli and have great relationships with members of the media who -- who they think write history. why on god's green earth would we do that? why? china, of course, is delighted. why is china delighted? now -- now, the united nations says, okay, we don't want to be too mean spirited here. the -- america can keep its military base for 99 years, but you've got to sign a lease and we've got to start paying maritius to stay ther

human rights element, but then, on the other hand, appeal my victory. but there are two things at play here. number one, the fact that our supreme court is still here in the uk, the privy councilwe'll get on to that, that's a curious anomaly, isn't it? i know it is. but the other thing, which is another curious anomaly that people don't realise, is, after we became independent from britain in 1962, somebody inserted into our constitution something called a savings law clause. the leading counsel for the state argued that this was a matter for parliament, and he accepted that, while the legislation appeared archaic and anti—liberal, it was nonetheless the will of parliament and that this is a matter for the legislature and not the judiciary. he's got a point, hasn't he? no, he hasn't, because they haven't — they could have done that donkeys years ago and they haven't. so what we have to understand is our parliamentarians in the global south are very afraid of this subject, and that's why i took them to court. they could have done this many years ago. and why are they afraid of it? because it's a vote loser. the majority of the population are homophobic. they go to church every
