stories of 15 people who were interned or impacted by the internment. and the exhibition highlights the individual stories of each of the japanese americans who came into the classroom, as well as the rich student responses to these stories. the project really gave the students space to make very meaningful connections between the historical event of the japanese internment and contemporary and historical instances of social injustice in america today. but we're here today to meet phillip and chloe, so i want to introduce you to them. phillip also was one of the gracious japanese americans who came into the classroom and told his story. phillip congatonda went to law school and graduated hastings law school but never actually practiced law. he became the first chronicler of the japanese american experience and is credited with broadening the japanese -- broadening the definition of theater by bringing jap needs american stories to stages all across the country. he has collaborated with the most diverse american theater venues, from large mainstream hous

my own view is that international criminal law the justification for the international criminal law is not so much that it deters future leaders for committing similar kinds of atrocities it might but deterrence is a negative effect it's very very difficult to prove it's very difficult to prove even in a domestic model so i look at the justification for international criminal prosecutions more as a symbolic gesture on the part of the global community that certain acts are just beyond the pale and i think it performs an extremely important symbolic function though again i wouldn't necessarily offer as a prime justification deterrence it might deter we simply don't know and the fact of course that the i.c.c. is such a young institution also suggests that if there's going to be any kind of deterrence effect that's likely not to kick in in told it has a much more robust rationale may they have to jump in here and we have run out of time fascinating discussion many thanks indeed and my guests in new york boston and should be and thanks to our viewers for watching us here see you next time a

vod justice and equity and yet do not join an international organization. that upholds those principles the i.c.c. was created largely as a result of pressure being brought by n.g.o.s such as human rights watch and amnesty international and so forth. the governments were not pressing the governments were brought into it but the problem is is that many of the important countries of the world the great powers of the world if you will including the united states china japan india and so forth have refused to join it and as long as those countries are repudiating the i.c.c. it loses its credibility ok lawrence i mean what do you think about this i mean you've got it who looks out to the united states to make sure it doesn't commit war crimes there is no institution impunity what we do. yes i want to see impunity i mean i do think that you know the united states is a nation of the rule of law and we take that responsibility seriously domestically i agree completely that i look forward to the day that the united states participates in as a member of the i.c.c. i

he's a major figure in international law.terrell cole wrote domestic courts must play a major role in coordinating u.s. domestic constitutional rules with the rules of foreign and international law to advance the broader development of a well functioning international judicial system. think about that for a minute. american courts can't coordinate the law firm international law. they won't have much influence, but didn't coordinate american. they can only coordinate by definition if this is true, it would coordinate american law, he would have to subordinate american law, the only way this would logically work. fourth person is in murray slaughter, head of the office it of policy and planning at the u.s. state department. during the first years of the obama administration. anne-marie slaughter wrote that she argued the nationstates should see the degree of sovereignty to what she calls transnational networks. vertically, nations should cede sovereign authority of supranational institutions such as the international criminal c

absolutely no reason it should be prohibited in international law. no reason that countries like bolivia, peru, and columbia should not be allowed to market coca products internationally. there is no reason that coca-cola should not be allowed to use their flavoring. of course, other countries should be allowed to do the same the amount of cocaine alkaloids in the coca leaf is minuscule, tiny. it is very small. it does not pose any kind of danger when used in its natural form. i do think that there is an issue with the people who grow coca, some of the poorest people and let america. these are poor farmers with small plots of land. i think we have an obligation to help those countries bring those people out of poverty. that means comprehensive equitable, liberal developed economic development programs in areas like the bolivian shikari. with regard to cocaine at think that is where it is trickier. there are people who would advocate for complete legalization of drugs. one drug use should not be illegal and we should not be putting cocaine users are u

international community has to abide by international law it can't be above the law and palestinians can't be beneath it so the terms haven't changed at all what has changed is that over the course of the past forty five years there's now been cemented a mindset among israeli settlers that this land is there and the reason that this mindset has been cemented is that nobody has actually challenge the israeli settler movement to force them to get out rather than forcing them to get out the government provides them to incentives to move and that's where the problem lies if you were advising president of us today what advice would you give him the first thing i would say is move away from moves that are largely symbolic and start focusing on holding israel accountable i would encourage him to sign up to the international criminal court right away. to start pressing for the crime of apartheid to be challenged israel's crime of apartheid to be pushing for israel's isolation due to the fact that it's been building expanding settlements i would also be advising him that he should be empoweri

you've got a big breakdown in internal controls. you need to pay attention.st you a lot of money. >> yes, somebody needed to pay attention. somebody needed to take some action. >> the next day, citigroup's ceo charles prince, in his last official act before stepping down, signed the sarbanes-oxley certification endorsing a financial statement that later proved to be unrealistic and swore that the bank's internal controls over its financial reporting were effective. >> i know that there were internal controls that were broken. i served notice in that email that they were broken. and the certification indicates that they are not broken. >> it would seem the chief financial officer and the people that signed the sarbanes-oxley certification disregarded those warnings. >> it would appear. >> we received a letter from citigroup saying that the bank had acted promptly to address richard bowen's concerns, and that the issues he raised were limited to his division and had little bearing on the bank's overall financial health. citigroup also told us that it did not re

they have to obey international laws at war. i handed this video over to the army's criminal investigation department. >> there are now almost 200,000 afghan soldiers but a high rate of decertification and low re-enlistment means a third have to be replaced every year. that leaves a lot of inexperienced young men and ott battlefield. -- on the battlefield. >> afghanistan forces does not really need only to know how to shoot but they need to know beyond how to shoot, you know. in terms of military tactics and security tactics, of course, in terms of be -- to be a patriot, to fight for this country, and, of course, during that fight to -- to consider all human rights. >> a recent u.s. department of defense report stated that only 1 of 23 afghan battalions is ready to fight alone, without help from nato forces. of course, it's not just afghan forces that have been caught on video abusing the bodies of the dead. the u.s. military has had its own isolated cases. but it is the afghan forces who will soon take over complete responsibil

is now at odds with a very international convention that it created. and there is more and more impetus for the reform coming from particularly latin america which has borne the cost of the u.s. war on drugs. increasingly officials are saying why are we implementing these policies that have made things much worse in our country in order for the u.s. consumers to have less drugs available to them? that just doesn't make sense. for the first time you have sitting presidents as opposed to colombia and guatemala calling for a serious debate on the drug policy reform. there's been a series of initiatives that we can go into detail on in the discussion period that is coming from the region. but most significantly, at the request of mexico, colombia and guatemala at the u.n. has just approved by holding of the u.n. special session, the u.n. general assembly on drugs which will take place a few years from now 2016 but will provide the next really serious opportunity for the convention reform. who knows what will happen? it is too far out. but there is clearly

of international sanctions against iran. >> the bait of international sanctions might leave iran unbowed>> i feel i'm being treated unfair. >> the bank wrote it was closing his account without explanation. 21 other students got the same letter. all have one thing in common -- they are from iran. they fear they will have to return home without their degrees. >> that is the riddle for us. >> bank officials say the sanctions made them do wit. the students say they have done nothing wrong. a spokesman said they are not targeting iranian students. everybody who received a letter violated u.s. sanctions but they would not say how. they are turning away businesses to turn away risks. illegal transactions with other countries. >> we feel these students are innocent and are being unfairly targeted with a broad swath of discrimination. we're considering filing a complaint with the minnesota attorney general for discrimination and trade. becauseroblems stayiing the bank is were the grounds of the football team plays. each student gets a card like this. the bank pays the university $1 million a year

to ces international? winter consumer electronics show. we made two big changes. one is we put the international in front. i disapproved it like a marketing person suggested it, but that's so international people felt comfortable coming. international people are very important for u.s. events now because the u.s. economy is growing slower than many other economies, and not all the money and attention is here anymore. so we want those international people to come in plus they spend money here while they're here which is good for us. plus, why should our companies have to go aprod when the buyers can come here? so it's a win/win, and the commerce department does a terrific job in working with us as does the las vegas officials here. the ces, though, we've crossed from consumer electronics, there's much more than that here. we're getting the cios the heads of marketing and technology people from virtually every major company in the united states and certainly the world. it's not only wall street that's coming

and middle east experts say series internal conflict has probably countries uranium stockpiles at risk as according indeed to a report in the british financial times newspaper says damascus has of the fifty tons of one enrich uranium enough to create maybe five nuclear bombs sherry was thought to be close to completing a reactor release to the country at one stage with help from north korea when the facility was reportedly destroyed by israeli jets five years ago they're now concerns that iran syria's closest ally in the region might be trying to seize the stone. program political analyst and a shabby told me western media only gives a partial picture of what's actually going on. there's a lot of noise about it there was a bombing in two thousand and seven the israeli jets bombed the site in syria claiming that it is a nuclear site there was no indication yes the i.a.e.a. visited the site the i.a.e.a. said that there were traces of uranium of depleted uranium but they did not confirm that there was any quantity or at least you know this huge quantity that is being publicized i mean the

international labor organisation chief got a writer says the first thing is to build a program to reach every country is committed this is perhaps the most difficult. road to welcome to the show good meeting here thank you very much for being with us as well and i want to start with the g. twenty agenda russia has recently taken over the presidency of g twenty and employment is one of the most important topics since matter of fact moscow wants to include the point topic into the agenda of the next g. twenty meeting well actually the subject has been discussed and can in seoul in wherever so is there anything new to be said to said on this subject which is my quick answer to you is actually the same way so much new to be said but there's a great deal that needs to be done and i think this is the this is the point you're quite right to say that since two. thousand and nine the g twenty has put employment and jobs issues at the center of its work and indeed the ilo has been involved in the g. twenty is work but the problem is that we still face a dramatic crisis of jobs in the world around

one of the big may notes about the international -- complaints about the international convention is that the u.s. within the conventions and in its policy towards latin america has basically pushed a one size fits all policy designed in washington, and what countries are saying is, hey, our reality may not be your reality. uruguay is a tiny little country of three million people that has a really, a very primarily urban population with solid institutions which has a very good capability to actually create legal regulated markets for cannabis. why can't they do it? why should the international drug control convention say that your bay can't do that -- uruguay can't do that? so what we really need here is a regime that allows for flexibility, that allows countries to experiment with or even states in this country with what they think works best for them. >> and we have one -- oh, did you have a comment? >> i'll just quickly add on. >> okay. >> what we could do with the billions of dollars that we invest in the prison infrastructure, that gets transferred into education, and then peopl

i am the international program manager at world savvy. i was introduced to this organization because my roommate several years ago pulled me out of bed on a saturday at 7:00 a.m. and when i got there i was amazed at what i found. it was excitement on young people's face as they talked about food security and nutrition internationally. they were high schoolers and it was the world affairs challenge, which is now called the world savvy challenge. the program that we are represent right now is our international programs, our newest program as stated is a fully funded program for youth and educators. at it's highly competitive. so the students going on this program are truly amazing and we're lucky to be traveling with three students from san francisco unified and one educator from there. and just to highlight a few of these things that students will be doing, really stepping out of their comfort level

international news and comment online on screen around the world this is r.t. scotland may soon get a boost in its push for independence the house of lords is debating providing edinburgh with the powers necessary to hold a referendum on a breakaway and peace at westminster have already unanimously approved the move the scottish government wants to hold the referendum in the autumn of twenty fourteen this mirrors the strong push for independence within the u.k. itself where many feel a country should part ways with the e.u. party's party boyko has more. well the pressure is really piling on the british prime minister david cameron because he's set to give a speech on friday where he wants to talk about renegotiating britain's role within the european union and that's a very difficult situation for him because there's a lot of euro skeptic m.p.'s who are piling on the pressure saying that you know the status quo really needs to be changed at the moment at the same time we've got the british public we've recently learnt that over fifty percent of them say in a re

he clarified what he means by external and internal opposition he said and internal opposition or internal figures may still be poppets. to those who support from the outside and as the same time. opposition members who are based outside syria still are independent loyalists the west or the or the other regional powers that are operating the struggle in syria so for him i think the red line he drew was a call for international intervention for example those voices that called for nato intervention for no fly zones over syria for sending arms and rebels all these opposition voices that currently recognized extremist groups such as on the store front and others parts parts of the syrian opposition they don't know but it certainly has become very very clear that the opposition in and of itself is a very fractured opposition and there are many different groups that make up whatever the case though the syrian president did say that we meet today suffering is overwhelming the syrian land there is no place for joy while security and stability are absent on the streets of our country we have to se

who shared his view on how kerry's appointment is likely to affect key international issues. if you look at american policy in the last twenty years even in the last since bush obama what is really change trey's first strike wars in afghanistan and yemen and pakistan and now they're positioning so-called missiles to fence on the turkish russian border which is essentially a first rate weapon targeted assassinations intensified under obama and its assertion of his right to order the killing of american citizens anywhere in the world is kerry going to stand up in international forums and say no that's wrong we can't do that i don't think so neither did hillary clinton. well the little change expected in washington's foreign policy some u.s. secrets are likely to remain hidden overseas later on we investigate into a cia prison in poland has been dragging on for five years and has a little assistance from america and we try to shed some light on the issue and about ten minutes. i mean time ongoing turmoil in the streets of egypt threatens to push the country towards collapse that

what we do know is that her tips announcement comes amid international warnings that syria might fall into the hands of radical islamics if no solution is indeed found more and more the sense in the international community is that the country is falling apart and also that it looks as if the syrian president bashar assad is not going anywhere the un arab league mediator laughter brahimi told the united nations security council that assad may be able to hold on to power for now he also warned that syria was breaking up before everyone's eyes and also admitted that there had been no progress made in efforts to establish talks over a political transition now we're hearing the same kind of message come from example from the french foreign minister who has warned that syria risks falling into the hands of islamised militant groups last week france also said that there was no sign that the syrian president assad was about to be overthrown so we certainly witnessing this kind of concern being expressed by the international community it does reverse previous statements where we heard numerous

how much of an international threat does this represent? the french has decided that this is an international threat. >> they have taken military action despite the fact that the community of west africa along with the african union has been pushing forward with a broader political plan of their own. you have to recognize that there can be no military solution to this crisis unless we recognize the root causes. making sure the people in the northern part of the country are absorbed and become integrated into the malian democratic crisis. the concern is that the military intervention can breed further discontent and bring more extremists to bear. >> i heard the same arguments from the white house today. there has to be a more holistic approach to mali. there is less of a threat of islamic extremism from mali then perhaps the french are saying. you have 200-300 fighters in the north controlling vast desert areas. we have to understand that mali is the home of historic islamic institutions of learning. timbuktu, and universities, oxford, cambr

i am chair of the international relations club. close enough. my question to you on behalf of my organization is this. if from a security perspective, one of the greatest concerns is that al qaeda will rebound and afghan the stand will become a terrorist state. how can you mitigate without risking green on blue attacks? >> one of the reasons the united states will continue a presence in afghanistan after 2014 in certain facilities, it is because we have decided to gather to continue to fight against al qaeda. there will be no respite in that. we will continue to work, and they will not. they are decimated, largely, and on their way out. when i receive security, we have meetings on security issues and we never come across the question whether it is a threat. the fact that the fight will continue, and affiliates will continue. and part of the reason the united states will continue to have limited facilities will be to continue that task. it is also recognized by our neighbors. thank you. >> international relations club, thank you. i can get it rig
