works through local ngo and provides grants to ngos at the country level. this is in line with administrator mark green's vision for building local capacity. and certainly important part of what's happened with polio. the work of the ngos has been instrumental. border populations, marginalized groups. a critical opponent to polio eradication and success so far. this community through these ngos, we support community-based surveillance. >> rezeus vaccine refusals in the four hot districts, from 40% to less than 1%. using trusted well trained and supervised women from the communit community. ed world health assembly signed a resolution to eradicate polio. we main committed to achieving the goal and helping countries to smoothly transition to focused polio efforts once eradication is achieved. as will and lori mentioned, that's going to be a very complex task and much more work needs to be done. i want to touch on some of the challenges. first the challenges as we get close to eradication is that we're not yet interrupted while the numbers have come down signi

the ngo to link up the individual woodlands by a corridor. the team have their own reforestation center where they cultivate the right mix of trees and other domestic jungle plants. our objective is to establish forests or will support the survival of the cotton top tom. with the corridors will make it easier for the monkeys to move from one section of woodland to another and make it easier to reach sources of food. growing the wooded corridors is trickier than it might sound many staff at the n.g.o.s are teaching themselves the art of gardening in the colombian jungle. place here a lot of the plant species we have in our forests are not commercial varieties so there's no information available on the best way to plan on growth i'm keeping humble before you and not everything grows at the first attempt. we sowed the seeds two months ago and we've seen how the species didn't thrive in plastic containers. so we're now having another try over there already in the soil . it's. the gardeners will have to wait a few more weeks to see whether this op

, about 50 different ngos supporting that. more of a comment maybe than a question on that side is, one piece of that that i think is so important as we have so many critical partners -- cdc, rotary international, gates foundation, u.n. agencies working on polio -- there are people at a lot of different levels, and we need all of those partners. and what the ngos bring, i think, critically, in many cases, is that connection to the community level. they get right down to the community level and they know what's going on, so they're actually with the mothers, with the children, so they know what's happening and they're able to both communicate and find cases. so, i think that's so critical. will, a question, as i keep thinking about this communications conundrum. could we put our heads around changing the name from cvbd tomitated polio virus or something else? it seems to me that that is a really communications challenge, and i wonder if we couldn't figure out another name for that, because i think it's a misnomer. as you explai

into the ngo network. we have to make sure that there are ways to get resources through the network as it's critical. that's really how the money has come. we've been able to use that with some of the platforms, so how could we start to evolve those resources to pay for more modern health systems whether it be for surveillance or laboratories or ngo networks, etc.? it's a little bit of a challenge it's doable but it's challenging.>> the second question i was asking, there's a lot of difference. with that in mind, why should we invest in the application? but we are talking about this, with the u.s. government. quite moving to the polio vaccine removal to see how much has been done worldwide. it's incredible. it's essentially the radar detection of global health, now it's the vaccine for lot of preventable diseases. how does this transfer into that? with its -- with some of this subsidized. how could we convince the u.s. to support continued efforts for things like this that go beyond polio? what would be yo

for the time being the ngo staff are planting the trees themselves. but the long term plan is for local farmers to play a bigger role in reforestation efforts planting new woodland however is not enough to secure the survival of the tartan top tamarins proyecto also works with villages in the area such as. the residence used to hunt the monkeys for sale b n g o team have now helped locals develop new sources of income the women in the village have set up a handy crafts group turning disposable plastic bags into colorful handbags. that me away about it i'm all right we also make these stuffed toys the message is buy a fake animal not the real thing and in the process benefit the community and help ensure the survival of the cotton top tamarin monkeys. proceeds from sales are shared between for the own practice and the women who make the choice the ngo has been on the ground here for sixteen years there are now signs all over the village promoting the conservation of the cotton top tamarins the monkeys are also on the curriculum at the local school the

open arms is a spanish ngo.t says this tragedy is the result of a new crackdown by european countries like italy and malta. stopping rescue boats from bringing migrants are sure. less than a month ago, another rescue ship was forced to remain at sea for two weeks after being reviews -- refuse entry to italy. that country's hard-line interior ministry says the ports are close to ngo's because they aid human trafficking. he wants to send migrants back to the porch they came from like libya, and has offered financial help. >> the italian government will support the need to protect the borders south of libya. because libya and italy alone cannot sustain the economic and social costs of this immigration. reporter: ngo's say putting the lives of migrants in the hands of the north african countries - - >> this s is the direct consequence of not allowing ngo's which rescue lives in the mediterranean to work there. this is the consequence. reporter: europe wants the flow of migrants to his shores to stop. but people e de

in the hague the ngos are meeting with m.l.v. close she a chief analyst at the office of the prosecutor at the i.c.c. he is one of the most influential people at the court he receives the requests for preliminary examinations and he assesses whether the case meets the criteria of the rome statute. the second most folks going up or down exam are pretty there it starts with what we call a preliminary examination the aim of which is to decide whether an investigation should be opened for the situation in question and the preliminary examination is a phase during which we don't collect evidence. we collect and gather information from the. sources written for schools. and we attempt to determine whether crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court have been committed since it came from nobody don't care and in accordance with the principle of complementarity we determine whether these crimes are being investigated or prosecuted at the national level. and finally we examine whether there is substantive re

first, there were the non-governmental institutions or ngos. the private groups that usually do good work on behalf of human rights. they agreed with the need to keep human rights violators off the council. you can imagine our surprise when they came out publicly against our reforms telling other countries to vote against us. the ngos were afraid that opening up the human rights council to changes would result in hostile amendments in the general assembly that would make the council even worse. think about that for a second. their view is that a bad situation can't be improved because it could get worse. this is yet another example of the world's human right regimes calling the shots and the united natio nations. these ngos unwillingness to challenge the status quo comes from their institutional comforts. they had big staffs and lots of relationships with the u.n. bureaucracy. change the threatening to them. if we approached everything with their attitude, nothing would ever improve and complacency would rule the day. these are countries that e

the ngos on how to present their arguments when he is out there with their way to go. are you going to go before you go green. representatives from the ngos are finally meeting with the head of situation analysis they're asking for an evaluation of the evidence they've collected in mexico they hope to assess their chances that the office of the prosecutor will hear their argument. cause she listens and promises them a response these are in jail. and geos produce many reports and supply us with a great deal of information but in many cases the n.g.o.s aren't fully aware of the criteria required to open an investigation. into two for these criteria are not determined by the prosecutor else but the rome statute. of ok so the preliminary examination consists pacifically of determining whether these criteria have been met exactly when their course is to chris is a lawyer this is. in august i was going though nobody expects international institutions to do what a country isn't capable of doing itself because we just want these bodies to help us resolve the problems before yo

the opcw report as politically motivated and doubtful data obtained from opposition and notorious ngosthe white helmets. so, they hated those people on the ground who could actually tell them the truth, right? >> my term is one of the ngos with which we worked, our teams worked, so far we didn't see any evidence of the white helmets, you know, cheating or providing us with false information and so on. >> right. but the opcw has just been assigned blame for the chemical attacks despite russia and syria. how significant is that? for a long time you weren't able to do that. >> i think it's a good thing because there was a gap and i don't think they would continue with this gap. it's good that now there is a mechanism for retribution. this is the first step towards accountability. and without accountability, you cannot issue the deterrence. our goal should be, our collective goal by the international kmurnt should be to deter the use of further chemical weapons and hold accountable those who use. that is the only way to do it. >> i'm going to play a sound bite from a journalist who we talk

there is very little taking place with ngos to comment. just the population at large to get into this dialogue. through the last eight months, we have been having dialogue sessions. not everyone here is a gang member. just because we live that doesn't mean we have anything to do with that. we have been able to work with the police and building a dialogue for the police to listen to the youth. the result of that is there commission and a plan for the entire country. .his can inform policymakers there is time for the administration to really make a dent in security in particular. it is creating spaces for other messages and approaches to happen rather than this one that you are constantly hearing. >> there is a very active scholarly debate about this. justice and son on. michael: whether that is positively correlated with those rules of law. this harvard professor asked a lot of research on this and has found that there is a link mechanisms, ivy leagues, a combination of them and post transition practices. there have been that have done a su

women who want to escape prostitution located in the middle of stuttgart some red light district the ngo finds part time jobs for women and gives them financial support until they're able to live independently it also provides medical assistance and there's always someone who will listen. in the fall . it is possible for a woman to leave a brothel as long as she doesn't have a pimp and is not being held against her will but that's a first for that if i last and. socially but then it's very difficult to find accommodation and to support yourself if you're not eligible for assistance from the german state. in order or if it's a maybe it's on the hired clouston's but i asked and as this is so often the only option as it is a bus ticket back home most of the common kind is the ticket and. although julia says she has never had a pimp that would make her a rare exception she earned a thirty year old's pretty minute session with a customer. i mostly worked until three o'clock in the morning that was as long as i could manage. but there were also women who enjoyed it all night they drank alcohol

so about 3 months ago, the ngos got together to provide information to the attorney general. they have a lot of information that the attorney general doesn't have. witnesses, locations - it is a small team and they are overwhelmed, over 150 cases and only 5 prosecutors. that's a lot. one of the efforts - we want this to be sustainable and that means reaching out to the other donors, the other embassies that have an interest in this case and partnering up. there are a lot of lessons to be learned from argentina, chile, even in columbia and guatemala, actually that can strengthen the work on transitional justice. >> this is great, you are jumping in the direction i had planned to go into. which is to link the current challenges we are seeing and the legacy of the past. chuck mentioned the evolution from political violence to social violence and that's what we understand is the issue in el salvador, especially the gang generated violence that we see today. but there has been kind of a discouraging trend and i would say toward state sponsored violence and executions by the police

of course, what you're describing has been a decade of hard work between the ngos, usaid and military to establish those relationships and systems. that of course offset at usa and has really taken a lead on perfecting that. really, the u.s. has been a leader in the humanitarian stage for a very long time. and what you just described as some your transformation should help not just maintain that leadership but help us have progress so doesn't fall into crisis over and over again. >> again, i think a lot of the reform were trying to do is take the lessons we've learned in pieces of u.s. id and institutionalize it and build around it. just a classic case, during the week of the united nations general assembly i got a phone call to tell me that a second earthquake had hit in mexico city and they needed help immediately with the heavy rescue teams down in mexico city. only two such teams in the entire united states, we have to be able to mobilize because of our pre-existing relationship with the department of defense, that evening i made two phone calls and by breakfast the next morning t

the government doesn't seem to have a plan so we are contacting ngos all over the world to help us. we need to find these parents. these children are suffering every single day. the stories we have been hearing from the ground about the reunified families, parents not recognizing their children they have lost so much weight. the parent and child weeping all the time. the child feeling the parent let them town. it is heart breaking and the most amazing thing that came out of the hearing today, is that we know that parents didn't understand the forms they signed and mistakenly signed away their kids. the judge asked the government can't we at least agree that those parents have the right to get their kids back. that is shocking. >> two things that have been haunting me. one is several bits of reporting that immigration officials informing kids that their parents opted to be separated. lying to them. and say their parents abandoned them. i keep seeing these pictures of reunited families. parents smiling. and these vacant looks. you can see it in front of you. it is not over. thank you

the governor has created an opioid tax force which includes both public and ngo and public health fusions. , the apartment -- department of law, health and public services. they are working constantly to deal with this very serious epidemic. we also work in close cooperation with both federal and other agencies. >> i read the population of the has aike kodiak alaska lot of warships. is it overwhelming the state? oh, --. mallott: june juneau can have up to six cruise ships, at any given time. the city of just over 30,000 people can have two thirds of increasedpopulation in a single day. sitka, skagway, a number of other places in alaska have on a daily basis large numbers of tourists visits. that is good. it allows a local economy to flourish, at least during the summer tour season. it puts strain on communities. as a passenger tax which is fair and responsible. allows communities to be responsible to the needs of both the community and tourist. this is another phenomenon in our state, the needs of the seafood industry, which is also as far as salmon is concerned, a .ummer based activity i

after interviewing people in law enforcement, the military, intelligence, ngos working on this issue the amount of cooperation is incredible and the trust that has been built on both sides, inside and outside government, those pressuring for change has been quite incredible. there has been real lack of leadership and we have wandered away from paying attention to this and one thing that has happened is we lost direction in figuring out what to do with organized crime. and attempt to actually address it, both countries have not placed it as high priority and the second thing is apps and fentanyl and others synthetic opioids which really shook up the drug markets. drug markets are generally not violent. there is always some violence, you have to enforce contracts. there is always a little bit of violence, usually the threat of violence rather than actual violence, you have real violence when things are shaken up, some incentive for violence to happen and part of what we saw in the past few years, markets were shaken up, apps was a marginal drug for most of the organized crime groups an

ngo's unwillingness to challenge the status quo comes from their institutional comforts. they have big staffs and lots of relationships with the u.n. bureaucracy. change is threatening to them. if we approached everything with their attitude, nothing would ever improve. and complacency would rule the day. more troubling was the pro-human rights countries that refused to speak up. these are countries that inquire off the record part -- conversations, share our embarrassment and concern with the actions and inactions of the council. theytold us in confidence also are disgusted with countries like cuba and venezuela, saudi arabia, the congo, serving on the council. as well as the constant attacks on israel. we gave them opportunity after opportunity, but after months of agreeing with us, on all of the flaws of the human rights council, they would not take a stand unless it was behind closed doors and out of public view. these countries share our beliefs and the inherent dignity of every human being. yet, they lack the courage to make a difference. they have a voice. they jus
