well, now we will talk with lyudmila denisova, human rights defender, head of the ukrainian center for the protection of human rights. mrs. lyudmila, we welcome you, eh, yes, i can't hear you, i hope that while i or you us, yes, now we will repair the connection with lyudmila denisova, she wants, we want to talk with her in particular about the terrible news that appeared this week that the russians shot 16 ukrainians.

conference that took place in copenhagen which about that is here is of provisions regarding protection of human rights and applied to all students and it's part of this be for the elections so initially and states having problems with the election process once it came into effect, is applied across the board so they been sending observers to the u.s. at least since 2000. we don't hear much about them. very seriously unfortunately. with the answer we tried postelection and elevate the recommendation. the organization of american states for our election is a way of creating a public debate about these issues. as you can see, we were not as successful. >> i want to understand the united states and dynamic in this. not sure how it becomes like that. i was persuaded i should like. >> very personal attacks on one another. formalize presidential debates the parties agreed to start building the debate and people behaved. maybe the last ten or 20 years, that has been lost. it is the united states, i don't so. certainly a lot of places in the level that is a dictator for 30 years violated like not talking about

united states of america together with partners from freedom house and the center for the protection of human rights zmena. concerned a rather specific issue, namely the responsibility of belarus and its agents for the transfer of ukrainian children to their political indoctrination and militarized re-education. regarding the return of ukrainian children and the role of the united states in this process, the united states of america has already joined the coalition for the return of ukrainian children, which currently has 40 members, as well as the european union as an observer, and thanks to the leading role of the united states together with partners from canada and norway. we currently have a declaration that defines the principles underlying the organization of this process. the role of the states is quite important for us, and they help both to identify the places of stay of ukrainian children and the children themselves, to bring the guilty persons to justice, including by imposing sanctions on them, and in particular, with regard to the further activities and support of the activities of ukra

they're essentially profit—driven, and when there are trade—offs to be made between the protection of human rightsties or people in very small language, um, countries or other areas, we just see over and over again that, for example, cost is a consideration over saving people or that discriminatory ai models are pushed onto the market even if they violate the non—discrimination principle. so it's not so much that they don't also make interesting products, but they ultimately are interested in creating shareholder value, in scaling, blitzscaling and capturing markets, in being faster than the competitor, whereas what i've done in this book is to put myself in the position of democratic governments and asked, through a number of examples, how do we see that democracy is squeezed? the decisions are no longer in the hands of democratically elected and accountable leaders. and how is there ultimately an accountability gap about what these companies are deciding for all of us? yeah. and again, you posit that many of the threats come from silicon valley. but i would suggest that actually, many of the gre

government view the protection of human rights in bangladesh? >> i cannot speak to these individual cases but i can say the secretary met with the prime minister of kadesh two weeks ago at the u.n. -- >> bangladesh. we do not have a prime minister should >> acting prime minister think his title is. and made clear we want to see human rights protected and those responsible for violations of human rights of the banquet as you people over the past two months new to be held accountable. >> use strong language against chinese aggressive -- in the south china sea. what can we expect to see in terms of diplomacy to continue their aggression? >> we will continue to work with allies and partners in the region to advance our vision of a free, open a prosperous and secure indo pacific. did you have one? >> the moscow court sentencing and american to 10 years in prison for allegedly fighting as a mercenary for ukraine. what is the state department's response? >> so i have -- we have limited information available about this case because russia has refused to

study english, no, no, not english, granny, torture is prohibited and conventions on the protection of human rightsell-read, yeah, fetka, bring the suitcase to the room, i'm already bringing it, throw it to me, no, to me, potato, potato, potato." let's go to the exit, what are you sitting down for, here is olga petrovna, your fugitive, they caught you at the bus stop on the way to the district center, yarik, well, what do you order , keep you under lock and key, put the house on its ears everywhere, i haven't slept a wink for two nights, everyone was looking for you, did i need to, what did i need to do ? i walked for 3 days, where were you? nowhere, just walked, he just walked, oh, yarik, yarik, teach, next time you'll run away, you'll give me a heart attack, i won't run away anymore, olga petrovna, yes. sure. let's go. round grew up more with deformed direction of growth drag. hello, young man, imagine, scientists still do not know why such growths appear on trees, it is believed that as a result of damage or from a genetic mutation, so here it is still stupid, interesting, extremely, and my name

was a conference in copenhagen what -- which adopted a series of provisions regarding the protection of human rights and it applied to all states that were part of the organization of security and cooperation in europe. one of the provisions was that all states that are part of it will invite and welcome international observers for their elections. so initially it was done mostly in states that were having problems with the election process. once it so the on s.c. are sending observers to the united states at least since 2000. they operate under the radar and give a press conference here or there, but they try not to have too high a profile because in the united states having a high profile would create a backlash. but they do come and issue reports and every time they issue reports, they'll together cuss on the four, five issues i raised, electoral college and voting representation needs to be better, would hefully allowed campaign financing is a total disaster, election administration while generally good is subject to these partisan votes. those would be the types of recommendations that will be

so a good day and for both of protecting the planets of protecting the human rights we for to me. but any t issue monday brook meant in the front of every still we had a gas divided this we 5 the what if i come to, to fact people issue money to should be in the center or all the look meant will have to defend ecological wisdom of the management of do the sources. let me take the question back to hands in washington dc, and we know how to, how strong the coming green ground is. we'll deal stein's major role in this selection. be simply to decide how much votes of pallet the kind of how it's get. so whether she makes it into the white house on, on, depending on how much she eats from support the democrats. is that the way you see it, hans? yeah, i mean, i think that's definitely what it comes down to. i mean, one thing we can be pretty confident about with this election. here's that jill stein is not going to be the next president of the united states. we don't know much else. it's very, very close. i mean, when it's close, any little thing get matter. so it's quite possible that the

of justice that we want to aspire for. we want to aspire towards a world where human rights for all are protected. the amends scale of suffering. any god there must be an immediate cease fire for at least the next which is what is currently on the table. does human rights law give us the tools to achieve human rights? i'm not sure because of the interest of powerful states because of the double standards that are applied in the international arena. and therefore, if it gets to court, often the human rights do not win the day. and so we need to think of other mechanisms to achieve these human rights. the problem is not the problem is with the force mental potential and in, in the middle east. and in the global south, i would say the problem is that law is closer to political convenience then to justice as i get up and i'm very sorry to say 500 years of core. oh, nice ation. has left a huge improvement in our dna in general. western people are not able to assess objectively, what is what is being done the through the no not publication or the international law or through the discretionary application

looks as though it may not be the america that would pay any price, bear any burden, to protect the success of human rightshina is a healthy one? do you think we're — we're ready for a world in which china is as dominant as it is today? i think a lot of work has been done particularly to protect us against things like cybercrime and to protect us against china appropriating technology that is legitimately british. but what, if you want a safe world in the future, must be the primary aim of diplomacy? the primary aim of diplomacy would be to make sure that china and america may be opponents but they don't become enemies and they don't go to war. that must be the primary aim of diplomacy. and i think we have a role to play in that, and i think we should endeavour to play it. one of the things i think we would be wise to build up in the next few years — we're no longer the great military power that we were and we can't afford to be but we're not insignificant. but in terms of soft power, i think we can build up our soft power, i think we can build up our diplomacy. which is best in terms of leadership — winni

they also use the country enters the what about human rights and protection of minorities including sexual minorities? georgia is a very conservative society and of course of water grass or lake blade. also a big role in the election campaign to so will change for georgia. if the ruling potty news is, it's my jersey to v o position. if the opposition to vince eddie, a judge of would return to the european path. that's help has been telling me of those. what obviously we called it a because at the moment you saturday you membership negotiations, us rosen cancelled let. who reminds you. once again the judge has got an official status of the u candidacy since december last year. however, after the judge and paula much implemented, if you, let's say on to your west and or onto your repeating laws, nor toll could be the who are taking place. i mean, 1st and foremost, foremost, it's about the so called for an agent small, which is based on a very similar rational. and it's a case where people values even then you government to bullets just to this law. you could start negotiations with georgia a

of american foreign policy. the bureaus democracy human rights and labor at the state department plays a crucial role in the american efforts to protect and promote freedom, democracy and human rights. i'm especially delighted to introduce the bureaus newly and finally confirmed assistant secretary. assistant secretary iran brings to the poor a wealth of experience serving numerous rolls in the state department along with national security council. this might be your fifth or sixth time back in the department. then at the for new american security. she did academic holding a doctorate in political science from columbia and numerous security and democratic reform in the middle east and north africa. just one week ago she was appointed by the white house to serve on the commission on security and cooperation in europe. bring your diplomatic skills to protect human rights and freedom across the region at a time of tremendously increasing importance printed together here we also have patrick work vice president strategy impact patrick also served as a nonresident senior fellow for the freedom and prosperity center at the atlantic council.

what about human rights and protection of minorities including sexual minorities? georgia is a very conservative society and of course of water grass or lake blade, also a big role in the election campaign to. so what will change for georgia if the ruling potty news is, it's my jersey to the position if the opposition to vince edit a judge of what returned to the european path. that's how president telling me those would obviously be we called it because at the moment you sat at the you membership negotiations of throws and canceled. let me remind you once again the judge has got an official status of the candidates. he sends december last year. however, off to the georgia department implemented, if you, let's say, onto your west an auto onto your a p in law's north told to be the you are taking place anymore. first and foremost, foremost, it's about the so called for an agents law of which is based on a very similar rational and is a case where a pain values even then you government to bullets just to be small. you could start negotiations with georgia again, righ

the security and for being able to protect the values which we at the end of the day, i want to be protecting. so its democracy, the freedom rule of law and human rights effectively and perhaps in finland. because while we have been invited by russia in the past and unblock usually after the 2nd world world war, we were able to remain independent. and, but we do see what the difference is behind the border, of course. and none of these values that we hold to um, uh, sake for it. so therefore, we know that we, you know, want to keep things as, as they on and therefore, so we feel very strong sympathy with the ukrainians who unfortunately haven't been independent for too long yet to really i have decided to, to war the way that they become appropriate democracy, you know, that they the people kind of kind of live in freedom and according to the european way of life and so, and so forth. so as i think it's actually my duty to keep on helping ukraine. so let's take it to, um, you know, uh your own security and the threat, the rush surprises because any pilot there the, the fact that finland is taking this whole of society approach and that you have a high

of human rights, the mdhr. sex had just been added to the list of protected categories in the minnesota human rights act that very year in 1959, and her use of this new category signals her belief that this law applied to both cis and trans workers. it is a classic case. she was qualified to perform the job when she was a man, and in fact, she was replaced by a man. at the tcmpa. unfortunately, after nine months of investigation, mdhr and the skidder alvin mcfarland agreed that the tcmpa did violate sex and legal workplace protections. that's not the unfortunate part. the unfortunate -- that's a good thing. what is unfortunate is that his supervisor did not agree. and on june 2nd, 1970, mdhr commissioner closed the case on a unilateral assertion that change of sex is not sex within the meaning of the minnesota state act against discrimination. baker was one of the first of over 30 transsexuals who used sex and disability based employment law to challenge anti-trans-workplace dissemination on state boards and federal agencies between 1969 and 1992. my dissertation centered the stories of these workers, and in doin

are we talking about protection of human rights? in un peacekeeping missions? lack of clarity of what we mean can really hinder a united approach and create unnecessary confusion. also there is a clear need for protection of civilian strategy. it's not enough to just talk about protecting civilians, we need to have a clear vision of what an end state should look like and then a plan of how to execute that, including possible mechanisms and how those mechanisms could contribute to protection outcomes. and then additionally protection needs to be mainstreamed. we need to be sure that advancing the protection of civilians in sudan is prioritized in mainstream everything, not only from the political talks that remain ongoing, but also the possible kinetic protection mechanisms that are under discussion. going from the first part of your question about current options on the table, i think it is really important that we don't think about one or two options, we need to think about the short, medium and long-term. those will need different

of human rights through one of our children. despite the inability of the united nations to protect us from the israeli aggression up until now, we remain committed to the role of this organization as a front line in the defense of this occupation, violence, devastation and oppression. today, we desperately need the united nations to play its role as a refuge for small countries who have been victimized by aggression. these countries include my homeland lebanon. since this tragedy which we've experienced broke out into this bitter reality, we observed dialogue as an alternative to the language of weapons to resolve conflict. we demonstrated a re liable partner to build consensus. this is the best proof of our commitment to negotiations for peaceful dispute resolution. furthermore, we propose that during two security council meetings, the most recent one on the 17th of june last, on the topic of the situation of the middle east we proposed an integrated framework to achieve lasting pacification in the border south of lebanon. we wish to reiterate our call today for a cease-fire on all fronts for this to be an opportunity and a pre

the people of lebanon, and uh that that australian government must protect rights of palestine in international forums like the united nations. and it should hold israel accountable for the human rights violations that are taking place in palestine for the past so many decades, support for palestinian refugees is also growing and they are, they're asking the government to accept more refugees and they should have the right to return to the country, besides that there is a growing global demand for boycot and de deinvestment and sanctions, there's this global demand for bay that's boycott, divestment and sanctions, the people in australia are continuously calling their government that that it should at least the diversity champion that australia is, and it should now immediately start to take its front seat and be a front runner when it comes to hold israel and the allies of israel accountable for the war plans that are happening in gaza and now in lebanon, yemen and now in in. iran so things on the ground look that people in sydney, people in australia are completely supporting human rights and they stand a global platform with the people of palestine when it comes to the righ

of the human rights of those who must been, who may have been killed on duty. so i put it to you. the echr came out post war. winston churchill supported it to protectything happening again, like happened in world war ii. now we're in a situation where it protects the human rights of illegal immigrants and is weaponized against sas heroes. this law surely needs to be kicked into touch . be kicked into touch. >> i agree it does need it needs to be reformed. i don't think we need to come out, but it absolutely needs to be reformed because those examples that you've just mentioned, martin, are not what it was intended to enable and protect when it was put in place. and that's changed considerably to where we are now. and again, a lot of that is down to the judiciary and the interpretation of the law, and that includes our judiciary as well. so we need to address and reform that institution, whether or not that's going to happen any time soon. i doubt that very much because i think keir starmer is probably going to be in charge for quite a while. >> david, we've spoken about this same situation before. the echr reigned supreme in countries like italy, w

because basically the whole empire of lies that the west has con instructed to protect and shield this rogue regime basically that's engaged in violations of human rightss and muslims, make them hate anything that that designers wanted them to hate, so i think you know if look in the mirror, as arabs, palestinians, muslims in general also, we have not done a good job of of really propelling our message across to the western audience, it's beginning to, it's beginning to change because it's very hard to shield the genocide basically from the eyes of the world, but it is not sufficient yet, so you ask me what would it take? it would take, yes continued resistance, i agree with that, but also i think we need much much better public relations campaigns in the west to really reach out audiences that are most of the time are just totally misinformed, and one informed become very supportive palistan as we saw in the millions who are in the streets, we just need to increase them to... hundreds of millions and that would be good to change eventually with the revolutionary thinking, western governments that are subservient to the zionist lobby. all right, well j

of precedents. there's precedent law. and so on. it's a complex piece, but ultimately the echr is designed to protect human rights, including of the offenderhere we've got a problem is where the human rights of the offender clash with the national security and safety interests of the citizens of the country concerned, which is the problem we have here now in terms of what robert said, i don't think he actually mentioned the sas . correct me if mentioned the sas. correct me if i'm wrong. he mentioned special forces, but i was when i was in afghanistan, i was involved sitting alongside the general officer commanding who was responsible for making the operational go no go decisions on targeting what we called high value individuals. now i'm not going to talk about much of the mechanics there, but suffice to say there were a couple of different nations, 3 or 4 different nations, 3 or 4 different nations, 3 or 4 different nations represented in that group of about 30 officers who were briefing on intelligence, operational opfions intelligence, operational options and so on for attacking people who were in the command and control chain of people

this context would take us to the into place of political situation in china currently makes the human presence to protect human rights impossible. that is the current, the domestic reality. nevertheless, i am optimistic for the attention of the international community on the certain amount of pressure from the us can bring about change and ultimately the site, the people's republic of china, oil change cos, sol, solved on the seeds shows it. ok because of the eclipse, with what's explains the diplomatic powerlessness of the international community in the space of the regime and the j economic interest seemingly over right. concerns about the fundamental rights of tibetans. the the late 19 sixty's economic liberalism replace cold war ideology and the usc changed it stands. united states will permit the free export to china, of a range of non strategic us products. united states will also permit for the 1st time, commercial imports from china. the geopolitical situation was changing. america wanted veteran relations with china. the chinese had made 2 conditions. first was odd that america had to stop recognizing by wan

protect those rights and the declaration still inspires me now as prime minister. because it speaks about our inherent dignity. the very essence of what it is to be human. of equal and inalienable rights based on a foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. as we meet here today, that can feel like a distant hope. conflict touches more countries now than at any time in the history of this assembly. around the world, more fires are breaking out and burning with ever greater intensity. exacting a terrible toll in gaza, lebanon, ukraine, myanmar, yemen and beyond. the vast majority of humanitarian need in the world today is driven by conflict ship up to 20 years of gains in tackling poverty, disease and in health, war is one of the main regions progress has stalled. that is a catastrophe made by human hands. it has weakened the cause of corporation. political division between north and south and turned the geopolitical dial away from the rule of law towards brute force and aggression. this matters to us all. it matters to the british people. my government was elected to change britain, to deliver national missions on higher growth, safer streets

. >> caste is an arbitrated graded ranking of human value and determines the rights and privileges of who will be protected attacked by the authorities so this system has been in place for 248 years. we were forged in revolution and in civil war. we should not be the least bit surprised at the enduring visions we have seeing and this is rising up in part because of 2042. it is rising up in part because of the demographic shift that we are facing as a country. the census of 2020 found the historical majority in the country. white americans, that group is the only group whose numbers fell for the first time in american history. all other groups were either the same or grew slightly. that is an existential crisis for everyone actually because everyone is affected by the demographics of our country. as a result of that, that is why we are seeing so much of the fixation on immigration. who gets to be in this country. what parts of the world are they welcome here in the country and the fixation on births. not just abortion, but on birth. we know birth control is also on the table. so these things are coalescing

of human rights and everybody abroad . i think you do it for granted that these country that the view as a romantic country is protected from this type of issue. this is the worst, the 1st time i went to a protest, it was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. it was a protest against climate change and those actually super nice afternoon fighting for something important, but we had a nice time nowadays when i go to a protest, for example, let's put this was against the violence against women. it's not the same atmosphere anymore. i go there and i know something might go wrong. i go there and i'm ready. ready for it was coming, whatever it comes from the police because there are as many protested as policemen around us. i'm ready to have people insults me because i'm the most and women and people think most of them women cannot be feminist. i know people who don't go to a protest because they're scared and i combine them because some people go and they, they, they are being harmed. the maybe some are dead then. so we go and we know we have a lot of things to lose when we used to go for things to, to gain on the protests and people think t

across the world are started to question, they be like, okay, so if the goal of the un, if the un was created to protect human rights, if the un was created uh to basically prevent a genocide, to uh allow for never again that they had always said, then where is the un, where is the un all this time, and and the problem with that was also that because they ' talked about the un as source of rules, as source of enforcement also, um, then they said, okay, there's no need for resistance, right, uh, we don't need, we don't need these you know resistance groups, we don't need hamas, oh, each country can have an army, we don't need hizbillah, you know, each country can have an army, well where is the lebanese army now as the lebanese people are being bombed to shreads, where is the lebanese army? i would really like to, and i'm sure people across the world are questioning that, and they're saying, okay, so you told us, that here's this world which has laws, which has a un charter, and the un charter will be enforced and they will prevent the uh the basically violation of human rights a great scale, now everybody sees that

of programs and communications. i think you're a mediterranean human rights monitor. in new york is jodi ginsburg, c e o of the committee, to protect john lists, which is spoken out against the accusations that as well have leveled out out of there at john list and in tennessee, gideon levy columbus at her read these paper and all through of the punishment of gaza if i will welcome to all of you, mohammed wants to stop with you because you've taken a close look through this evidence. evidence that israel says is provided to accuse these 6 journalists and goals of belonging to palestinian on groups. all these documents are available on line. what did you make of them? basically to start with some of these general list have been threatened repeatedly by the idea of what is being the authorities to stop doing what they were doing to stop their credit can work particularly and move in gaza or is face consequences. so this is very convenient, so it suddenly is really the finds out all of the mark militants. but basically if you look at the documents itself, you get the immediate impression that is a very, very badly connected fraud. for

of an entire neighborhood in south lebanon, so... i mean, not only are these places uh basically not doing anything to protect these civilian lives and only paying lip service to human rights, but they're also being used as a military basis to order the assassination of civilians. so this is what we're facing, because they are no longer talking about directly, for the most part, and i mean, of course, the zionist regime uh has shown more and more of its beliefs more openly, but for the most part, all of these... colonial entities, they were not talking about basically uh others being some being slaves to to other people, what they have been saying is that they've been saying we're all equal, it doesn't matter what religion, it doesn't matter what ideology, so even the smallest thing for instance, so everybody looked at the west as a place where you could wear, you could dress as you pleased, if you were a muslim you could wear head scarf, if you're a non-muslim, and then we saw what the french did and basically stripping muslim. women of their head scarves uh, girls under under 18 years of age are allowed to have are allowed to basically choose sexual partner, but they're

of protecting communities for the future messages today. so we'll actually just asking for clean and clean water and then an access to basic human rights and a clean environment to live in is not an active deb isn't. it is not something that is against the country that you live and it's not against anyone. it's a basic human right, it's central to out of existence. and um, when someone asks for those things, it's important to engage in conversation and dialogue and just come out instead of shutting them down on considering down, i need them up in our id and my country i the india, um it's in boston, do engage and criticize a um, because that's what makes the democracy i really need. what does that allow you to us? this roxie and shaw? thank you all so much for joining us here on the stream. and of course, thanks the far zona as well, who we had a little earlier. thank you for being part of the show. and thank you all for tuning in. if you have a comment about our show or any of the episode, talk to us on social media, all you have to do is use the hash tag or the handle ag stream. and we will look into your question and suggest take care.
