and its allies also acted without authorization from the un security council when it launched a seventy eight day aerial attack on yugoslavia in one thousand nine hundred nine nato starts war against the federal republic of yugoslavia serbia and montenegro. serbia for seventy eight days occupies kosovo and this doesn't have you an authorization until the very end the us again disregarded international law in two thousand and three after the security council refused to support a military strike on iraq they withdrew their new additional resolution rather than face defeat clearing it is their argument the way for a military campaign without any new u.n. approval the united nations security council has not lived up to its responsibilities so we will rise to ours and. not in conformity with the u.n. charter from our point of view and from the charter point of view it was indeed by circumventing international law for geo political interests experts say the us has systematically damage the confidence and credibility of the un it's been used by the united states i think as a fig leaf to get mu

that we just don't spend enough time talking to each other frankly when though we have the un security council but outside the un security council we still have other important players the arab league turkey the iran and their neighbors the other neighbors of syria like lebanon jordan iraq we need to get together somewhere and the beast on the annan plan based on the un security council resolution that approved discipline and sanction the un observing mission in syria as you noted to promote these important documents we need to have a frank serious discussion and agree that. we all support coffee n. and plan the coffee and plan and have all voted for it in the u.n. security council. on paper let's doubt take serious steps to influence all the syrian parties in gauged in this conflict to force them to stop doing that and come to the negotiating table with them i firmly believe that if we work in this direction to do that on the road if we show solidarity and we work collectively i strongly believe that we will achieve positive results and after that we can start a political dialogue of course i

croupe of participants and the goal i repeat is used to promote the coffee annan plan and the un security council resolution we should gather everybody who has influence. on the situation in syria on the daily basis and we believe this group should include the five permanent members of the u.s. security council. syria's neighbors iraq iran jordan. its. also representatives of the arab league by the way you run it is chairing the arab league at the moment katara he's the chair of the arab league committee on syria. and i think saudi arabia is a major country in the gulf region should also be invited to the negotiating table and also organizations like the u.n. of course of course the u.n. should act is in umbrella as a framework for this event and i would also think that the european union should play a role here because the european union is very much interested in the events in syria and they would like to overcome the current crisis. as we saw during our recent talks between russia and the e.u. in st petersburg just a few days ago. convenience we want this conference to be in the let's go and o

occurred on the eve of kofi annan visit to syria this latest blood bath comes just to have a un security council meeting but in the halls of the united nations deadlock over a damascus proving no barrier for some are finalizing plans for a post office in syria i reports. the united nations is the only diplomatic forum where every country is supposed to be governed by the same rules the united nation's founding charter kohls upon us to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security a founding member and biggest financial contributor america ratified inside the u.n. treaty in one thousand nine hundred five which prohibits unprovoked attacks or military interventions in sovereign countries unless authorized by the un security council. my fellow americans today our armed forces joined our nato allies in air strikes against serbian forces responsible for the brutality in kosovo in recent decades the us has been seen violating the very international laws it helped create we have acted with resolve the u.s. and its allies also acted without authorization from the u.n. security council

could be interpreted to allow outside military intervention if will be flocked by by russia the un security council could interest russia wants to see both the sides sit down and discuss their problems to try and find a diplomatic solution. of saying that kofi annan six point peace plan was still the only viable option if peace was to be achieved in syria however it did acknowledge that the peace plan was stumbling a little at the moment though in terms of other four other countries outside nations wanting to to push for regime change sergey lavrov said that the government must in syria mustn't be blamed totally for what's happening in the country and said that the rebels have some responsibility to shoulder as well. when we hear reports of another message in syria and currently we see such atrocities almost daily for many international media outlets want to put the blame entirely on the syrian government the government of many countries of course responsible for what is happening in the country that we're sure the regime alone is not responsible for this we see massacres in houla terrorist attacks

with those who ignore the requirements of the un security council in the i e must be are full responsibility for it in accordance with the international law. that is with the role and un security council resolutions. mr counter in a previous interview for our program you described a look some work for him as the voice of civil society on the issues of nonproliferation. this one has remained but i'm still unclear as to who your target audience is whom are you addressing in the first place is it public opinion is it grassroots initiative is it political decision makers or is what you do a form of lobbying. when. no alexander. i can tell you the expert community doesn't lobby anyone seen to it's like i said we pave the way to the future who we dress everyone we send our reports to decision makers you know all the leading power salute world and to all official international institutions and n.g.o.s on top of that even if you look at today's session it he will find our colleagues from similar initiatives such as the poland wash conference's long a staff of the luxembourg for our. people are reall

of for the un security council and was actually adopted that we were the first for the council to get involved in the syrian situation this was less september than. a little later again we suggested to draft the resolutions in the uk are you must you are based on the need to influence all the parties involved but western countries did not support those resolutions and then we supported the decision that was made on the embers second i believe by the arab league to send their numbers serve a mission to syria we talked to the syrian government and we convinced them to accept that mission it was not easy it was not that simple the syrian authorities of course they made a lot of mistakes and many things. obviously could have changed the situation to the better but it was done very late we convinced the syrian authorities to receive this mission of very observers and we also did our best to increase the number of those observers we want them we wanted them to report to the u.n. security council for some reason the arab countries did not want their report that observers prepared to go to th

of course it's very strange we ask if you nan and the un security council who will protect freedom of speech democratic principles and liberties how can you shut down syrian national media when the annan plan calls for free accreditation for foreign media coming to syria to cover the situation here and we have one hundred eighty media outlets from all over the world represented in syria one of them that over one hundred accredited foreign reporters are permanently working here traveling freely across the country to cover the event that's because how can you shut down syrian satellite channels and at the same time allow foreign news services operate freely this will result in biased coverage of all this is part of the information more ways to get syria we know that eighty percent of the satellite channels dedicate thirty minutes of the news hour to syria today and a recent study shows that ninety percent of satellite coverage on syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in the country it's all lies and fabrications it's again that there's a real information more waged against s

general assembly kofi annan is now briefing the un security council on the situation in syria following the session and we'll be bringing you updates political analysts christophe forestall who's been covering events in the arab region say is there are strong indications the massacre was carried out by terrorists. in the terrorists you know called off the annan peace plan that was in fact a joke they had never kept they have never stuck to it there are terrorists at work very clearly and very clearly they're sponsored from abroad openly saudi arabia qatar. turkey is involved people you know fighters come over the border from jordan from lebanon from iraq from turkey and that in fact heat up the situation very much and there are all kinds of media lies the most recent where we hear that eighty people were killed in the massacre with the same resistance group you know publishing this said a little later that there were just fifty and that it was twenty four this was a german radio and in fact the government says it was nine but the killing was done by the terrorists and i think there is b

security council resolution. i mentioned it in my prepared remarks. we want to cause of a without a un security council resolution, and we went there for the same reason why we should go to syria, and that was a coalition of the willing, as we say. so i respect and admire the united nations security council and the things that they do. the fact that is the united states national security should not be governed by whether russia will veto resolutions in the united nations security council. yes. you have been overlooked four times. please go ahead.

nuclear facilities are targeted by terrorists these people's names are on the least of those the un security council has introducing sions against this makes the terrorists feel free to exterminate the blacklisted people so the question is what is the relation between the terrorists and the security council and of the question why do some people commit subversive acts against a country involved in legitimate peaceful activities shockingly enough the openly admit that this is all they're doing these phrases yet another question that why does the international community that claims to live under the rule of law accept a situation when all the rules are violated and countries seeking to exercise their legitimate rights are discriminated against this kind of discrimination is not limited to one country only you must be aware that luckily enough neither terror attacks and nor cyber attacks nor other acts of intimidation have done any harm or stop to the progress of the iranian people but if on air israeli officials are discussing the possibility of military strike against syria. if israel israel. ever de

in the first place, russia would probably block it at the un security council. even without russia, syria is a well armed state in a volatile region. an all-out war would soon involve its neighbors. plus, western powers are distracted. in the united states, the presidential election. in europe, the euro crisis, and all of them worried about afghanistan. in berlin today, the russian president denied russian arms were feeling the conflict. but all-out war could be where it is heading. >> let's look closer at russia's pivotal role in this crisis. i am joined now by the deputy director of the russian program at the carnegie endowment. people seem to be saying that the best chance we have of avoiding total civil war in syria is to get the russians to put pressure on president assad. do you think there is any chance of russia doing that? >> i think the problem for russia is that they see the sequence is exactly the reverse of that. rather than their being abuses by the government that might provoke civil war, they believe there is already civil war and that it is the
