the ground, we have very important ngos on the ground, we have the european union, and we have the iccbut the solution created the commission of the hrc already talked about the contribution of that commission to the accountability to identify responsibilities for the alleged violations of human rights and two its area law. so i can share the inside. the inside is simple after i appointed them, i had a conversation with them on a weekly basis on how they will start working on immediately they got in contact with other accountability mechanisms to try to maximize the effort of the international community. and we have to remember that the hrc mechanisms have a higher possibility of leverage when accountability comes to the picture. because we are creating independent mechanisms that do not have a domestic or national agenda or ngo agenda. they look at the facts, and we have to think about we don't need double of people in ukraine. when you have so many accountability mechanisms addressing the same facts and victims, it is inhuman for victims to have to give their testimony 3, 4, 5 times

for this reason costa rica, stresses it support for the investigation being conducted by the icc of war crimes in ukraine. threatening to inflict you'd -- nuclear force typifies -- is all the more outrageous that the use of nuclear weapons is threatened in an attempt to weaken resistance to this brutal invasion. threatening to use nuclear weapons is also illegal. article 2-4 and 2-3 of the u.n. charter prohibit the threat of the knee hero -- threat of nuclear force and the use of nuclear force. these calls have fallen on deaf ears. nuclear weapons are not abstract concepts. they are concrete threats against all of us. the ukrainians huddled in bomb shelters and subway stations know this all too well. when will the rest of us understand this fact? consequently we urge the russian federation to put an end to nuclear blackmail and abide by its obligations under international law. mr. president, all wars, our wars lost. -- are wars lost. costa rica calls on states to not only reject, not to recognize the suppose it annexations. we call on all states to cooperate to bring them to an end, we

so the international code is developed by icc which is a private entity made by memberships by the firet throughout the country with legislative stakeholders altogether and try to improve it based on what happened. they book the international fire code in 2021 and puts entirely into the california fire code. so that is pretty much a reprint of what's in here. the difference is the state doesn't actually have to adopt everything. so they take the inc, cfc, the california fire code. california adopts some sessions and modify some sections and they leave other sections to other jurisdictions. some may work here and other places. they leave that to us and that's where we come in. we could either adopt, we have to adopt what the state adopts or make it more restrictive, or we can adopt parts of the international fire code. so this was what it says. we incorporate, we take the california fire code, the international fire code, we take what we want out of it and it has been adopted by the case and come up with more requirements and then with that comes the san francisco fire code. so now we ge
