international criminal court, the i c. c. what did he say? well, it's an example of how gaza is permeating so many aspects of what's happening at the u. n. right now this was the international criminal courts, annual meeting where member countries come, they vote for new judges, a new leadership. they set a budget and they have a chance to weigh in on different issues and pressing issues we heard from the palestinian ambassador. and not surprisingly, he brought up the situation in gaza right now, palestine joining the international criminal court 9 years ago to get some ruling on what it does come. d to as a violations of international law in the occupied territories, 9 years on and still no decisions, no arrest words, no rulings. months were pointing to the latest violence, as in his words, violations of international law. in terms of targeting a civilian infrastructure, hospitals, medical facilities, the disproportionate number of children, wounded, injured, has been killed. uh, basically saying that the credibility and authority of the court is at stake. if it does not rule in this situation, they said that the court was set up to be a

nations of the world has taken upon itself agreeing to international laws, international conventions, and being part of the u. n. 2 months is not how much is not good? there is responsibility in some of these common values that we share are the ground to this relationship to this alliance. what is real steps back of it? then you know this alliance good. we can do it. well. what this me, what does this mean then to, to attempt or calls to rehabilitate the ppo or the palestinian authority in some form that would make it least appear to have the authority of a governing power? correct. i mean, the housing authority is, is a, recognize it as the official representation of the palestinians and the americans is pushing strong to bring it forth. is really pushing back. but the problem is that as long as there's no keeps pushing back without bringing any alternatives, it, it remains in control. what happens is guys are any by in the world's eyes and also imagine patrol. what happens to the population and goes up to the civilians and gaza. we need not just age but would need to have recovery. we need to have, you know,

international attention. the security council has met to discuss the war and goes about involved with the u. n. as a secretary in general, i'm tony lives, i was demanded of the organization urgently push it for a ceasefire to end. the timing of so that is the best, those live now. so i'll tell you cause with a rachel blevins in the us. rachel, good to see. so well, can you tell us about the latest maintaining of the un security council of the united nations security council came together for a meeting on friday after secretary general antonio gutierrez invoked article $99.00 for the 1st time in over 30 years. the measure is a tool that allows the u. n's top diplomat to raise an issue to the security council, which he believes threatens international peace and security. in this case, gutierrez is using the provision to call for a permanent ceasefire in the gaza strip. and he's warning that time is running out for the palestinian civilians there. take a listen. i wrote to the security going to be invoking article $99.00 because we are at the breaking point there is a higher these of the total col

the i've sent this to the international court of justice, one of the u. n's highest courts are based at the hague. this is the letter from the i c j that we got a hold of confirming this. and i'll basically read a couple lines to you that are significant. it said that according to the application, quote, x and emissions by israel are genocidal in character as they committed with the requisite specific intent to destroy the palestinians in guys, the letter went on to say the applicants being south africa, further states that quote is real since october 7th, 2023 in particular has failed to prevent genocide and has failed to prosecute the direct and public incitement to genocide as well. so i spoke to a couple of them. bassett, or 0, leaving the security council. one in particular that you a e and bastard of the you and she said i hadn't had time. she said she hadn't had time to read this whole report yet, but she said we will be watching it very closely. clearly this is a pretty significant move by south africa is this will now the ball will be in the court, so to speak of the i c j.

and we request from the different international organizations and u. n. a organizations including the red cross and the world health center. the world heard the world health organization, sorry, and the different organizations to protect the health care facilities and the hospitals as they are supposed to do for the spokesperson of the government . thank you. and we have been listening that to a sports person from guys, that is my loved one and he was giving an update about the situation and gauze. i often see fi and the the week long see fine ended on friday morning. he said that a 110 people have been co sims to see spot ended at uh, i believe its 7 o'clock in the morning local time. he said that included 3 journalists. and he is quoting on the world on the international community to ensure that the financing stops, he said the crazy war must and, and that aid ascent into gaza. he said that 60 percent of homes have been destroyed, that 50000 families have lost their homes. and thousands of still buried under the rubble with no equipment available to pul

and he blamed it on the logistical difficulties of an international organization. it's the u. n's felt that food and health supplies and fuel and goes out urgently trying to get some response from the u. n. to that, because that is certainly not what we've been told from every single part of the united nations. the problem getting in is, is the permissions and the searches of israel wants to do. and the very limited capacity of the roof of border crossing, which, which is a bit of a trip point, they're obviously otherwise, if israel was allowed to a, to open up its border crossings to bring in aid, which has refused to do until this point. james, take us through the process which you know very, very well, you've covered the one for a very long time. you've, you know, the ins and outs of that organization. what happens next? if this goes the way that people think that the us will veto it? what happens the morning off the, for the whole diplomatic momentum that's been building up? well, i think we know 1st we must say it's looking like for us is going to veto. but that meeting this
