al jazeera and the palestinian government want the icc to take on this case. will they consider this do you think? and how does the is really investigation -- israeli investigation >>? that is a difficult question because the icc has a new prosecutor who has shown no eagerness to pursue the investigation of israel on earlier crimes. i would not be too optimistic about the submission to the icc, but it can do no harm and it exerts additional pressure and that is desirable. but what i think is the best way forward is this real call for an independent and international investigation. folly: who would be independent party be? >> it could be appointed by the u.n. secretary general and taking account the need for credibility and to reach a conclusion to address these issues of accountability. i think all of those things need impartial investigation and the notion that the u.s. is willing to do that is i think far from a realistic appraisal. congress is exerting mild pressure, but israel is exerting severe pressure, and israel's impact ensures that no u.s. investigat

, er, a separate tribunal for the crime of aggression , when this may still be the authority of the iccevent that both countries and which countries what kind of armed aggression was committed? the aggressor country is part of the rome statute. i think it does not interfere . no, it did not ratify, it did not ratify, and we are not in the same situation as unfortunately, this is also a political point of view, it is definitely bad. aggression, we are in the situation in which we are now. we can demand it. then the question still has to be ratified by both sides of the conflict directly, or if we ratify and russia does not ratify, the tribunal will still be there is no need to create and this case can be considered in the icc, you just said. if it had been ratified, then there was no need to create a tribunal if we understood you correctly , correction i was understood in accordance with the rome statute if both parties are with the rome statute side yes then we can say that uh international a criminal court can consider the crime of aggression, we were not a party at the time of the agg

back in may, we made the largest field deployment that the icc has seen. since may, we have had a permanent field presence in ukraine. next week, further members of my office will also deploy to ukraine to look into allegations emerging from the east of the country. building partnerships, embracing innovation takes many forms. new engagements with states, international organizations and the private sector. hopefully this will lead to a more coherent approach for action. render this collective responsibility more effective. but the process of accountability, of collecting evidence and determining is not simply an academic exercise. it is critical to actually present in a juridical forum the truth. ugly, we have independent judges. when we have done our job, we will present our work to the independent judges of the icc. they will decide where the truth lies. this exercise is essential if we are to have confidence in the rules-based system. this function and this alone is the focus of my office. it is not a tool of politics, it is not driven by any other agen

there are, we have close contacts with our colleagues in the icc. i cannot go into specifics, of course, but it certainly can -- >> of course you cannot go into specifics on sources and methods. i do want us, to think whether or not there are impediments in using information which is available to the u.s. government with hope holding more crime officials accountable? we can sit down in a -- >> if i may, one impediment we have at the war crimes acts. as it currently stands our prosecutors are required, in order to bring a war crimes case, to establish whether the armed conflict was an international armed conflict or a non-international arm conflict. what are the complications there is the information that we need to make that showing can be classified. it can also involve delicate questions of foreign affairs. we favor, therefore, eliminating the distinction between non-in this international context. they would also enable us to prosecute a full array of egregious for crimes across the board, irrespective of whether they were committed by isis in a n

is there any space for the icc in that kind of ungoverned space? there? >> i think it's a critical question. i mean, i frlwas the first spec advisor and i was in iraq for three years. and this issue of the neighboring location is one known to represent a massive humanitarian and legal and national security challenge. so i think there are things we can do. already we have the court jurisdiction and relation to the nationals of state parties there are other options if iraq for example wished to make a decoloration, to acre accept t jurisdiction of the court like ukraine, we can help work with the iraqis and mechanisms, as well. what i'm convinced about and used to go always to the security counsel and say the islamic state is the most unislamist state and one utility of the law is to put on spot light an ideology to confront and dissect it and it's very important to show killing individuals, denying people freedom or worship are not only criminal offenses in the context we looked into but actually contravene the basic tenants of islam. >> just adding

i'm hoping we can deliver on that in december and i want to have a robust lane of assistance to the icct prosecutions early next year against russia war criminals and that the russian military know you follow putin's orders at your own peril. when it comes to the benefit of international prosecutions in terms of deterring the future of misbehavior, is that a reality? >> i think senator, a lot of people thought after nuremberg we were not see one —- see large-scale atrocity crimes ever being seen again and with the benefit of hindsight that turned out to be incorrect we thought after the cold war we would not see large-scale atrocity crimes and me were wrong about that as well. >> so there will be an effort in congress to assist ukraine with the weapons they need to continue the fight andwi an effort in congress to make russia state sponsor terrorism in the nation of category five oft other nations like north korea and iran and there will be an effort in congress to open up evidentiary liens to the icc so prosecutions become more real. if we can pull this off by the end of this year the

prosecutors simply do not have enough time on the axis, or can part of these cases be taken over by the iccukraine profects just don't have time forted international criminal card iptv form code don't fight, er, i think the international criminal court will be very picky about the number of court cases on which it will focus, let me remind you that the prosecutors will focus their attention on the perpetrators of the crime of the highest rank, and not on rank-and-file soldiers because they also have limited resources and they will primarily look at what ukraine is doing and will work according to the principle of complete equality, they will expect that ukraine will investigate most of the cases itself at the domestic level regarding lower-level criminals, so i think the international community should be ready to provide assistance ukraine to carry out these internal processes because no one else will do it. also, what is called universal jurisdiction will be applied when other countries of the world, but especially europe will try to bring to justice those who committed crimes in ukraine,

this is the biggest field operation for the icc, is that right? then, i've had a continuous field presence in the field, investigating crimes within our jurisdiction >> can you explain how are you working, obviously we've seen images of horrible things happening in ukraine, you have to figure out a chain of command, you have to figure out what is actually something you can gather evidence and prosecute, how do you go about that? >> you know, divided up, try to have a structural investigation, and looking at the information we receive and trying to verify it. identifies certain priorities, i tried to partner with ukrainians, other nationally authorities, and i've got people on the ground. you've been all over ukraine, who the bayous in bucha and destructive billy buildings and board ankara i want to see clarifications that have a solid basis to it appears to be the targeting of hospitals and schools, focuses on those, and look at the children, thousands of children have apparently been moved into ukraine. so folks try to look at the different reser

the icc cannot judge in absentia, and the court of al-bashur sits on conciliation until this crime ofs caught, and the very fact of russia's attack will not be able to punish russian high-ranking officials of the icc after all, neither russia nor ukraine ratified the rome statute, the fundamental document of the court, explains the lawyer from kyiv-rijjana exactly what these actions are, which are the initiation of war and the introduction of war into the eu lead to the fact that war crimes are being committed, which we see, which are a separate category, let's say, it is easier to prove the crime of aggression than other war crimes, says the ambassador on special assignment of the ministry of foreign affairs anton korenevich, the very fact of aggression was evidenced by a key resolution of the un general assembly that at the beginning of march, 141 countries condemned the actions russia's aggression against ukraine with the imagination that we have today can be prepared in a few months for this purpose a special military tribunal must be created within the limits of which the politic

leverage some really excellent work party going on at the national security agency with rob joyce and the icc some work starting in a joint cyber collaborative can leverage that, get them some authorization and more importantly appropriations to rapidly develop information sharing. >> this whole idea this collaboration environment is technically a very hard thing with the scope and scale by think as you are all suggesting the technology may not be the hardest thing. i've fitting the trust, the partnership and all the things that will take. the senator mentioned the creation of the solarium. tell us what that is. >> thanks for asking. at the end of 2021 january 18 remaining commissioners. they transferred over to the national director board the eight remaining client hurts myself a few of the other staff stood up a nongovernmental organization. what we are doing there is some remaining legislation out there want to continue to support the commissioners and pushing through and provide guidance on what we met we wrote certain legislation. there's also a handful of issues we had not tackled yet.

them holding their soldiers accountable will lead into -- into greater concerns for them, such as an iccwhat we're calling for the icc to also intervene and carry out an investigation. but, of course, time and time again we have seen how there is a track record of israel escaping responsibility, and accountability and continuing to enjoy that impunity. that's why we continue to call for an independent investigation. >> look, there is a chasm here between your view, obviously, and israel's. israel's denying that soldiers targeted her, targeted press, targeted civilians. clearly that is not something that you or your family believes and so we'll continue to follow this story. lina abu akleh, thank you for your time. >>> students in uvalde are returning to school this morning, but not to robb elementary. we are live with this uneasy first day back. >>> and as the final sprint begins to the midterms, how many extremists are there in the u.s.? a reality check ahead. wait. you're a night manager and mom and birthday cake baker? so adding “and” student might feel daunting. national uniniversity

. >> you had comments from the icc prosecutor who said he was going to send more investigators next weekallegations of further atrocities committed in the east of the country. he made a reference to nuremberg, and a sense this is a very serious situation. he has said in the past he believes there is reasonae grounds to believe crimes have been committed. that was the practical arm of -- theme of the meeting but no one expected there to be any sort of resolution or outcome because russia is a permanent member of the security council and could veto it. the idea was to draw attention to what was going on in ukraine, especially for the u.s. and u.k. and other western lies suppress everyone to speakp -- to press everyone, to speak up more forcefully against russia's actions and those who had been more reticent about being is critical as some of the other states. >> the ukrainian representative bringing into focus the knock on impact the ukraine war is having on energy and food prices globally. >> yes, that was a theme from others as well. the concern, of course, amongst u.n. member states and

critical periods, but we are neighboring countries and like it or not, hungary is really like this icc also needs to take this into account, so use it as a bilateral format, again, diplomacy is not only communicating with those with whom you feel comfortable and share someone's opinion, but diplomacy is also a tool to achieve your goals under any conditions. to use brussels eh i mean the level of the european union really they have much stronger influence both on the hunchback personally and on the government of hungary directly and we see what is t- such actions they have their results and what concerns uh, the previous question about the exit of a potential well, hungary is not great britain, no matter how someone tries to compare it with completely different countries with a different level of economy and financial capabilities, therefore it is really unlikely for the hunchback and for his uh-huh entourage in the nearest they see this as a benefit for themselves in the first place, and the fact that they are guided purely by their own interests, as brussels is often said to be klept

the icc, the international criminal court, will have a role.r quite some time into the future. >> true accountability would require some cooperation from russia, which doesn't seem inclined to cooperate at all. you've both been to bucha. you've talked to people there. i wonder, alex, accountability might be historic accountability. here we see this guy's face. here we see what has been done. we know what has been done. it might not happen on an individual scale, but we know. have you talked to ukrainians about that, that that may be the accountability they get? >> for people on the street, the initial thought is these are countries playing a great game of geopolitics and they find it hard to believe they'll be able to receive accountability. i think efforts like eugene is undertaking with the -- with the allies, the acc and allies. that's one effort. i think the u.s. congress is also looking at ways to hold russian -- both the individuals and russian state accountable through financial penalties and there's an action under way to maybe evaluate

bring the russians before the world and hold them accountable in the international court of justice or iccering and there's just no -- there's no excuse, there's no justification for what they are doing. and particularly, when it involves children. >> and you've also spoken about the hundreds of thousands of ukrainians forcibly detained and deported to russia or other far eastern regions of ukraine under russian control. what can the u.n. do about this? >> we held a meeting last week at the united nations where we called the russians out for these filtration operations where they are moving ukrainian citizens, including children, to the far reaches of russia. taking their identity away, forcing russian passports on them, and again, this is a situation where the u.n. and the rest of the world, needs to come together to hold them accountable. we have asked the russians to allow the u.n. in to these camps so that they can provide protection and support to the ukrainians. and as you know, we have made an effort to also hold them accountable. we just issued, yesterday, sanctions against some of
