sudanese officials have suggested they might even turn him over to the international criminal court for trial over alleged war crimes committed in darfur yet sudan's economy is still dire and attempts to improve things are hindered by the country's continued presence on the usas list of state sponsors of terrorism. many young people who protested and celebrated a year ago have moved abroad in search of a job mohammad now lives and works in the united arab emirates. and the rise of art but i wanted to stay in my country with my family that there were very little opportunity as this is a time when sudan especially in needs us. she might not be able to be at home to mark the anniversary but like millions of sudanese come to heady days of hope in april $21000.00 will be etched in their memory for a lifetime. abraham joins us now welcome so a year since obama was toppled what's the mood in sudan i think there is quite a bit of frustration for a number of reasons 1st the sudanese people can't go out and celebrate the 1st year anniversary of this you know very emotional day for them because of

available online and also questions about how they use it so in the summer of 2017 the international criminal court published their 1st arrest warrant that was based of figures uploaded to facebook showing executions. are based on the call to also. have a better quality of the physical models ok you know what i mean. it's not my father but the spill the thought i see if i have but that's ok it's ok it's nice to have a couple in that only stop because of. what. people saw i don't know what. so one of the reasons why their folly case is so important historically in getting legal accountability for these crimes is that it was one of the 1st ever arrest warrants issued by the international criminal court to be based almost solely on information that was gleaned from social media they of course had other resources that they were relying upon but when you actually read the arrest warrant you see that much of it's based on information from facebook and twitter so this is sort of a monumental point in time where we're realizing that we really need to be grabbing information from those platforms and preserv

it's proven in the past that whenever syria comes up the idea of referring syria to the international criminal court as a permanent member they have their veto and that prepared to use it james thanks very much indeed james bays there from the united nations. now in the united states u.s. senator bernie sanders has dropped out of the race to become the democratic presidential nominee that leaves a former vice president joe biden as the presumptive challenger to president on a trump in november sundered says it was a tough choice. i know that there may be some in our movement who disagree with this decision who would like us to fight on for the last ballot cast at the democratic convention i understand the opposition but as i see the crisis gripping the nation exacerbated by a president unwilling or unable to provide any kind of credible leadership and the work that needs to be done to protect people in this most desperate hour i cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour and tha

i think about this in the cap icc,-- the context of the the international criminal court. it is up politicized organization, not an actual court. we will evaluate this and if there is a function that only that world health organization can do and we think it is important for american national security or because we are good humanitarian partners, i'm confident we will find a way to deliver that outcome. there are private donors who contribute to the world health organization. always ask, is this the best model? is this the right outcome? when you see the influence the chinese communist party had when they were debating on how to handle the virus in january. and the risks that those posed to the world, we reconsider whether that vehicle is the right one to deliver pandemic response systems for the world. given the reliance on china, when it comes to medical ,upplies, and that supply chain and though supplies are desperately needed in the u.s. right now, does the trump administration have to wait until this health care crisis in the united states is over, before you can talk

they're essentially irrelevant and there is little chance that this could go even to the international criminal court so are you worried that this push for justice could just and here. honestly were not worried at all we've seen a lot of creative. mechanisms for justice come out of things like the russian and chinese veto of referral to the i.c.c. we've seen the un investigative mechanism the triple i and be born out of this we've seen a pickup in universal jurisdiction cases that we hadn't seen in the last decade before the syrian conflict came into place and we're seeing a number of sanctions be put in place for human rights violations so i guess the message here really is that it's it's very difficult just to see even when it's traditionally blocked sar what will justice for these victims end up looking like. i mean or hoping that justice for these victims would look like the major perpetrators and the system that put these in place and be held accountable and for these trials to really provide an opportunity for victims to state their truth these are the perpetrators instead of the continued deni

approach taken by the lot is those responsible and be a dolt should be punished and the international criminal court has no authority to go after people who join the conference when they were children. instead internationally while it's less intimation there's a trend towards talking about reconciliation and rehabilitation and services and i contrast that with the treatment across this country of young people drawn into conflict whether it's drug-related or gang-related and we have the opposite here. we have a punitive way of talking about predators as if they are in no context and no acknowledge meant of the world in which they are drawn into the could be in the drug trade where the schools are not offering a real opportunity etc. etc. and we don't talk about the adults who are responsible and instead despite the origins of the court is a place that is supposed to be more forgiving and more rehabilitative we have made it a place that treats young people just like adults, either automatically transferring them to adult court or laughing kinds of sanctions for conduct that no other country in the wor

reality imposes itself that's the main thing too in order to have ceded a shirt to the international criminal court or to establish a special tribunal for syria we need a security council resolution absolutely russia and china will veto that specifically russia after the russian engagement military and the war in syria the russians themselves committed lots of war crimes and they will not allow a tribunal to be starting or i.c.c. affair and nevertheless this political or geopolitics dimensions could change and it has changed a lot of other conflict where that time the political atmosphere blocked from having a tribunal or justice but then things changed the last tribunal started later so i don't think we should lose by thinks cases like anwar aslan in germany case is just a 1st step to continue the fight for justice and accountability all right thank you very much for your thoughts and analysis on that mohammed a lot dumber thank you china is building stockpiles of crude oil 'd as global prices plunged because of the corona virus outbreak imports rose by 4.5 percent in march compared to the previou

this has been recognized by the u.n., by the international criminal court. pages 2 through 4 of the memo provide more detail around sort of recent developments politically in the country. so staff's here today because given the changes, the positive changes in political structure, we believe that there's increasing argument that a wholesale boycott of companies operating in sudan is potentially counter productive for economic stability in the country and ultimately the eradication of poverty in the country. they have significant challenges getting access to food, basic food and medicine. everyone that i've spoken to have greed to that boycotting the companies in that country is not necessarily productive to improving conditions in the country. what we're proposing here is that our restriction criteria would continue to restriction investment by sfers and companies that are providing military equipment in sudan as well as those that have been deemed c deemed complicit in the genocide. what we're proposing, and this is on pages 5 and 6 of the memo, we would co
