will use its right to veto in the face of the other fourteen un security council members based on what earlier the u.s. agreed with fifteen resolutions aiming at the settlement activities in jerusalem it voted for ten of these decisions and abstained in five cases so we have fifteen precedents altogether the signs the freezing of our draft is very similar to that of obama's statements on this issue it says that construction of settlements should be stopped everywhere including the regions where it is justified by the natural increase in population it is as if the us was saying we want to stop the settlement activities but we can't if you can't help us what are we supposed to do. it shouldn't be this way. during your visit to russia you had a number of meetings with russian leaders did you hear anything new in moscow. about. well how. about. all new things are innocents old things because the u.s. forgot a lot of these old things but russia remembers that russia recognized the independent palestinian state in one thousand eight hundred eight with a nine hundred sixty seven borders and t

we know that the palestinian leadership has prepared a draft that will be presented to the un security council in order to condemn israel for its settlement activity if the us uses its right to veto what will the palestinian leadership do that is true for. international law allows for a wide range of action that they have structures through which we can take a number of measures of if the u.s. rejects the solution to the u.n. general assembly general assembly uses the uniting for peaceful manner which allows it act in the same way as the un security council using a number of measures to make sure its decisions are carried through their international tribunals through which is rare. military commanders who committed crimes in our country could be prosecuted they have been a lot of those crimes there is a group of countries that signed the fourth geneva convention that these countries can use sanctions against israel forcing it to make a certain decision but i don't think the u.s. will use its right to veto in the face of the other fourteen u.n. security council members based on what's called ea

firm and has not changed the russian foreign ministry's let us know that when we come to the un security council with the dam to stop the settlements bulk of russia would support us and try to convince other countries to make this decision and influence the us so that it doesn't feel right to veto. russia is flexible when it comes to other countries recognize and the palestinian state how in the one nine hundred sixty seven borders by the way i read that we continue to work together with russia in different areas of culture economy the houghton's rights during the prime minister's visit when he signed a number of agreements that would of russia voice that stance on palestinian prisoners of war saying that they should be free to leave the foreign minister also met with a. wife of my own does not see what it's about and imprison palestinian judges for independence this proves that russia will continue to strive for his release in other words many finnish showed that russia is serious about his attentions only keeps reminding the world advances that have been made before but enough forgot that the

it's not for nothing that the international community and un security council adopted a set of resolutions on this particular issues and what is need. it's to remove sources for this concern which i'm talking i think is perfectly clear bulls fully radians and for everyone else. issues on how. international community treats situation with other countries in other countries or wherever you might. you know point to i think it's a separate one since each and every country has its own record in this area and history is very different in all these situations so i would be very cautious to draw all that to grow these type of parallels on a separate issue now russia's state duma is set to hold their third meeting off the subject of arms reduction treaty with the united states. what does this do for moscow's relations with washington now that ratification is as close as ever definitely it's a huge boost for. our joint efforts to establish a more stable and constructive fundaments in our relationship with the us it took a while before the u.s. senate threatened by the resolution our parliamentarians

he's the one who discussed with jack straw and with jeremy greenstock what went before the un security council and he's the one that decided what he was going to say to parliament and what he didn't say to parliament so yes he's absolutely central to it but this is in a sense the last chance saloon for british public inquiries because we had the foreign office for the first committee inquiry we had the parliamentary process and then gordon brown agreed that this inquiry would be set up and indeed it has been set up if we're to have any reasonable standing as an effective democracy then this inquiry has got to go into some fairly serious detail about it and recommendations about what's going to happen next no it's not a judicial inquiry which many of us wanted but i get the feeling that a legal process could emanate as a result of the evidence that's going to come out and how impressed are you with the inquiry safer are you do you think it's depth and usefulness has been what you hoped it would be i have mixed feelings about it. i don't. denigrate it i think they have tried quite hard in many w

general assembly of the un security council later on this year or so. president medvedev president of russia reach holds power in the security council making such statements in the palestinian territories is extremely important and extremely supportive for the palestinian cause and as you were saying to the russian president meeting with his palestinian counterparts president said that he bypassed the other state meaning israel far as we know the visit there was planned was canceled tell us what happened. well let me begin a bit far off here russia in the soviet union traditionally supported the palestinian authority back in soviet times. israel as a puppet of the united states their relations were somewhat strained but most recently ever since i would say the early ninety's ninety's mosco was trying to play it both ways and was trying to maintain workable relations with both israel and the palestinian authority and you're absolutely right that initially the middle eastern trip was. expected to bring president medvedev both to israel and to policy in aut

was madness that this should not be a single african country holding a permanent seat in the un security council africa represents 1 billion inhabitantss. 30 years down the road will represent two billion haven'ts. this is a way of doing things belonging to the 20th-century. it is totally unreasonable that the south american continent which has undergone extraordinary demographic growth the personal and additional five hundred million in haven'ts, on a permanent basis. what should we do about india? 20 or 30 countriess, it will be the most populous country. india holding a permanent seat edge in the aftermath of the war, there was a 1-year meeting-that is that being insulting to anyone. the only one that counted was one currency. who in this room would be so bold as to tell me in 2011 as we stand here today the world we face had anything to do with the world we face in 1945. who could possibly claim that? i say this to friends across the atlantic. you know how attached i have to the partnership and friendship we have with the usa. nobody wants to weaken the dollar. nobody wants to weaken the dol

bush do he went back to the un to get a resolution out of the security council giving him the gentleman safe to walk your pie that country why did he do that because he realised that without that un resolution he would not get worldwide support and as for the conflicts that the other speaker mention the congo the un has troops in the congo is trying to bring peace there i mean come on give me one credit for what it's trying to do it can't settle every crisis around the globe i admit that but even in places that no other country will deal with it has tried to show some authority some involvement in order to bring some sort of settlement to these conflicts you know if the if the u.n. didn't exist for example the seventeen peacekeeping missions that it's supporting right now would the u.s. be putting troops in there to keep those conflicts from spreading or spinning out of control and would this country be supporting u.n. mission that u.s. missions around the globe. pouring in defense dollars pouring in taxpayers' dollars no we much prefer to have the u.n. act in that role we don't want to

warned expressly from the un security council that there would be serious consequences if he failed in a post-9/11 world to open up his weapons programs to full inspection. the president of the united states of america made a decision that the possibility of said on hussain -- said of the st. possessing weapons either directly or through third parties was a clear and present danger to the united states of america. i supported that decision and make no apology for it. i would say that to compare the decision of the united states of america to act on behalf of our citizens and our allies, to compare the actions of american soldiers to the despicable acts of last saturday is wrong. host: next question here at the washington center. caller: good morning, university of san diego. congressman, i actually overheard you in the bathroom this morning make a comment about the fairness doctrine. did you discuss possibly what you're talking about with your age and if you see a role with the fairness doctrine coming up this week with politics and the media?

theory it's very democratic with the general assembly and trying to expand the security council doesn't make any sense to me the un is built on what was one of new york's premier to ours and i think the un should be buried right there and start with a new global organization that is representative of the world today not the world of one thousand nine hundred forty five and i think we can replace the organization or restructure it completely and i wouldn't even call it a united nations because it is anything but united i think that is one of the greatest misnomers of all international organizations what i have proposed in my book us to make knowledge was an inter local security council where you basically have the major civilizations represented at that level namely china russia america india and then representatives of all the other civilizations europe. via the e.u. or latin america the organization of the latin america or organization of american states you can have africa through the african union let each region and from the middle east the arab league have each region sent a representative to this global orga
