world leaders — over and over again to remind them of their responsibilities, and these international institutionsmeant to protect the most vulnerable. but they have been absent in most of these conflicts, especially in the middle east. so many people around the world, including myself, feel that these institutions are driven by politics, rather than justice. gunfire. in 2014, the islamic state took over northern iraq and persecuted any community that refused to convert to its extremist idea of islam. but they saved a particular brand of cruelty and hate for the yazidi religion and people. when they attacked nadia's village, they murdered her mother, six of her brothers, and many more men in her family. they took younger women and children captive. the boys were indoctrinated into isis while the women and girls were used as sex slaves, sold from man to man, raped and gang—raped repeatedly. after three months, nadia escaped, but so many others didn't. more than 200,000 people are still displaced and there are 3,000 women and children still missing. do you think enough is being done to find them? i

is calling on parties in syria to preserve the good people of the seas of the state and international institutionse situation in syria saying it's following the situation with great care. affirming its support for syrian people and the country's sovereignty and unity. and from homs in the north to close in on the capital, and it is clear the syrian army had no stomach for this fight, they defected, they surrendered, they retreated, tore off their uniforms, put down their guns and disguised themselves as civilians, this regime has crumbled very quickly indeed. those foreign ministers i mentioned were part of something known as the astana process, as in the meetings that people held in central asia to try and thrash out a political future for syria. bashar al—assad was not interested in talking about any transition of power whatsoever and he has now paid the price. the early signs are quite encouraging that there could be an orderly transition of power. why? because the leader of the main rebel group hts, hay�*at tahrir al—sham, this is somebody called abu mohammed al—jolani, he has said that we are

laid bare the fractures in the global order, shaking the public's faith in news outlets and international institution. so like as we close out 2024, we have compiled some of our reporting on key developments in gaza over the past year, starting with one that took place in january when the international court of justice found a plausible that is realized acts of work would amount to genocide to begin in the hey, we're just this past friday. the un top court delivered an interim ruling on the case of genocide brought against israel by south africa. the i. c. j ordered so called provisional measures to protect the palestinians from genocidal acts in gaza, however, had stopped short of calling for a cease fire. this was a highly anticipated ruling. it was broadcast around the world. the i. c. j's rulings are legally binding, however, that can be difficult to enforce, especially while is really enjoys the protection of the united states at the un security council, where the u. s. has the power to veto. however, there is no doubt that the ruling did not go. israel's way the court has found a plausible risk

but i can say that in any state meeting or other discussions regarding international institutions, we will negotiate solely on behalf of remaining is interest. so what does that mean? so they'll just, it means that we will stand, firm not bowed down more over a significant portion of the political class has as seen over the years of felt and inferiority complex. this, when dealing with the west won't stand, that will come to an end. we will engage and communicate as equals, as, as this is what i will do. what that one sounds is. basically what this means is that many people express that frustration with you policies and can on the conditions and so on and so forth. and people have spoken out but seems like everybody is ready to accept this. yeah, this is going to is a very interesting situation and hold a territory for romania, politically speaking, will be keeping a close eye on things when he thinks that brings us up to speed on us to stay below to that. thank you. well that was that politicians on the, the a like a know main thing that was when it comes to describing the ruling way

but i can say that in any state meeting or other discussions regarding international institutions, we will negotiate solely on behalf of remaining is interest. so what does that mean? so they'll just, it means that we will stand firmly, not bowed down, which is more over a significant portion of the political class has as seen over the years of felt and inferiority complex. this when dealing with the west boom, done that will come to an end. we will engage and communicate as equals. so this is what i will do. what they want sound is basically what this means is that many people express that frustration with you policies, economic conditions, and so on and so forth. and people have spoken out what seems like everybody is ready to accept this politicians on media like i'm not mincing. that was when describing the remaining and constitutional cause ruling with many of brands and get a to what the judges of the constitutional court have done is an attack on the constitutional order. and an unprecedented cou data. i believe that they won't stop there. romania is going through a very turbul

but i can say that in any state meeting or other discussions regarding international institutions, we will negotiate solely on behalf of remaining is interest. so what does that mean? no doubt, it means we will stand firmly, not bowed down shit. more over, a significant portion of the political class has as seen over the years, felt in inferiority complex when dealing with the west. that will come to an end. we will engage and communicate as equals, so this is what i will do, what they want sound busy level. so basically what this means is the many citizens are frustrated with the policies on economic conditions of the country and so on. on the sentiments are actually e codes by politicians who add on to them. they advocate for for a more independent politician of for many foreign policy unless influenced by brussels. but it seems like not everybody is ready to take that choice was an interesting trend. of course, if you look at the geopolitical landscape, by the time you've seen this move, quite right, more nationalist, i'm booked remaining. we've also got the protests in georgia as

well, the international institute for statistics studies in london already in 2013, published the studies saying the syrian army is down to half of its size. and you can be built because it would be a war and which you would need much more a month power, how it works, vd also with huge losses, for the region defections, etc. so i think it was impossible to rebuild. the forces on this is why has spelled out were so important to spell a wish that for us to really be there on the ground. they never wanted originally to go to a level, but they were sent there. and for the people on the ground, i think that was speed. bad experience because this bowler is very hierarchical, where the termite and business by sieges that were imposed by his bola that were guided by his scholar was stronger than any others. the population in the city of my dia, for example hospice memory. this is for people starve to death because the spa would get this as a task and they do it much more disciplined than this. the very corrupt sir, and i'm a where you could always get your way through. and i think you really, for

state, richard verma, hosted by the george washington university elliott school of international affairs and the institute for international economic policy. >> good afternoon, everyone, my name is remi jedwab , at gw, director of institute economic policy, and i am a codirector of the elliott school which focuses on national governments. governance -- sustainability challenges and my pleasure to welcome you to the family lecture on business and finance . featuring the esteemed guest, richard verma . i want to thank the family for making this possible. dedicated to bringing together thinkers and students -- today -- i want to flag our events we are organizing in the coming weeks. october 21st, tomorrow, two days , citigroup and moody's, followed by a panel discussion on emerging markets. on november 15th, a former foreign minister of south korea for a discussion on u.s.-south korean relations after the u.s. presidential election. and in december, a conference on the economics of sustainable development. it is my pleasure to introduce the dean of the elliott school, alyssa ayres , an award-winning -- with

expert, dr. silver come out due to on colonel ro hit dev, deputy director general on indeed international institute of security and safety management. thank you so much for taking the time this weekend. dr. digit, can we kick off with you on the overall picture here at surrounding costs? patel. i'm those other figures of indian origin a lot not a survey are set to serve in top positions in washington in the republican administration. why is this happening? not why it's not an alignment occurring? well, uh to be ready on this husband thought it was going to be the end of the struck to all of you. i would say that our relationship with the republican party as on the screen goes random. but the republican party has been in part in the united states of america relationship between india and its united states of america has been on the saw the whole thing. we have seen this in the past due in the past to tammy on. all right, this has been trampled so like, i mean, the 1st can, you know, be of president tom, the relationship between media and the united states up i made, it covers very smooth. it was ver

those great things included the shifting of the world order today, the creation of international institutionsorging of lasting peace and a perilous time. we asked evan thomas now in his 70s who are the wiseman up today? thank you very much embarrassed the things going on in the world now. let's start with south korea. the fact that the president is now facing potential impeachment from the opposition party in the

40% of the nation residing in low level and coastal regions according to the norwegian institute for international affairs. the humanitarian suffering has been intense. in addition to the ongoing oppression imposed by the military regime, fueling displacement including to bangladesh which is already facing its own developmental and climate impact challenges. growing geopolitical risks is another factor i want to touch on briefly, the national intelligence council predicts that climate change could exacerbate cross-border geopolitical flash points as countries seek to advance and protect their own interests go we see this already in the arctic where rapid warming is literally changing the political, economic, cultural, and security contours of the arctic. the battle over water resources can also contribute to cross-border and regional tensions, nearly 40% of the world's population depends on water that is shared with another country. we see potential for rising tensions particularly in river basins where the rate of change is greater and can be absorbed by local institutions and agreements. several

the so jane lame, who's the co director of the international institute of career. i'm studies at the university of central lancaster. she's live from preston in the u. k. and also with us as c one cool. managing editor of the korea expos. a who's in stuttgart, germany. thank you both for being with us on algae or quite astonishing developments in south korea and these last 2 hours. i think a lot of people didn't see this coming. let me ask you 1st about the, the latest developments. so jen lam, uh and this is of course the national assembly voting to block the martial law declaration by the president. how do you think this is going to play out now? how long will this crisis moment last? see think uh, i do not want to how we, uh, to conclude, but uh, starting from the, the situation and to what we have had in south korea. we're centrally so far as we know that we've had gatherings in protest and many of the people is the student demanded impingement of the in some, you know, and this was very radical decision by you. and i think that was the only route for him to th

issue an interim statement, as did other electoral groups like the european union, the international republican instituteliminary statements. the commonwealth one did observe significant irregularities that it would look further into, and it would look further into, and it called for calm. it did also say that the opposition leader was very premature by claiming victory when only 20% of the vote had been counted, announced, so that was something that raised her eyebrows. in terms of making a judgment on whether it was a credible electoral process, thatis credible electoral process, that is still something the commonwealth 0bserver group, my colleagues, have to do with the final report, as do a number of the other observer groups, but there were clearly irregularities. so, let's see, the constitutional council in the constitutional council in the past has been partisan, but i don't believe in original sin, i think they have been spending the last two months going through all the ballot sheets and trying to arraign out the most obvious fraud. i think the difficulty with the constitutional council political

exacerbated by the power imbalance between the global north and south, especially as international financial institutions got involved in african politics . so break the bottom of this, i may not be when would you mind us? what definitive this of to sort of prompting to have, and if the school was the wanted to defend, what do you think does the most of do that? but what, what was the price of on the silver? is it that's on the book when that introduces me collective just to apply it, sacrifice a home sick lives on it that you small or not this data. little cash only like pretty to less on this number or kind of like one. yeah, i look forward to talking very much about so really so suddenly when i guess the legal gospel know that it would have at the boss is when the machine is when it gets into the company the world's brian can be i imagine i'm wrong to unesco and that enables european museums to play deaf and resist called full restitution. they talked about setting dangerous precedent, or lack of museums in africa. and meanwhile, the international ok market was and still is the greatest friend. but th

us, a lot of, obamas, big believers in the state, believers in humanity and building an international institutionept eventually they are forced to emerge from their utopian ideological cocoons, from their safe spaces and trigger warnings and solidarity marches. and co. exhaust, chopping up the heads of christians or iran instead of wanting to -- soon have a bomb like north korea did after that deal. the islamic state pushing game men off of a building in air rack the same day the white house, and solidarity. if they don't coexist. the dictator in russia is redrawing the lines in eastern europe, does not compute. they are not on campus anymore, the graduate student lounge, they are the commander in chief and things they learned on campus, lead to a perpetual peace. the bad guys, in coexisting for engaging on those levels. rather than calling out real threats and abject evil or confronting them, and solidarity marches, except they don't work, the impossible global consent. they have an attachment to military realities on the ground, declared the need to negotiate without preconditions, unilaterally

see nevada is an expert on a key and joins us now from the gym and institute for international and security, assessing and welcome to dw. would it be right to cool red chip type at one the king maker of h t. s. um i think it's supposed to be fair to say that's our key has gained an opportunity to expand its influence in syria and as a result of to all of our sites regime. i am not 100 percent sure whether this short term game with best and certainly be translated into games in limits and long term because the challenges are huge. so starting with the image direction, the political transform ation will evolve. but also the dynamics among different local groups. it's between the h d. s and turkey controlled s n a. each between the h d s, and syrian democratic forces, s t, f, and b. it's also b b now, and possibly turkey and other external actors who are on the grounds in syria. so i think it's still too early to make and kind of an advocate that to make a judgment about the exact influence that's on cut a might have gained or gains as a result of the very rapid be unfolding events since novem

exacerbated by the power in balance between the global north and south, especially as international financial institutions got involved in african politics . so with the beloved, isn't it no pay? when would you mind us, what definitive tablets of to sort of talk to, to at the school was the $1.00 that did the 5th butler. what do you think? does the most of do that? but what does that place on the silver? is it, that's the one that introduces me collective to say i put a stop to buy a home. so if it isn't it that you small will not display the little cash on like piece to less on this number. but kind of like when you, i look forward to talking very much about it. so when he says, sally, a, a, when i guess the legal gospel know that it will event on boss is when the machine is when it gets into the company the world's brian can be, i imagine our ranks unesco, and that enables european museums to play deaf and resist called for restitution. they talked about setting dangerous precedent or lack of museums in africa. and meanwhile, the international ok market was and still is the greatest friend. but the rest
