it's not the united nations security council it's not the united nations general assembly it's united nations human rights council which has been known for years so it's used by a stroke or resolutions against israel i'm just saying that you mention the united nations armistice line isn't there a problem here with israel continually opposing u.n. institutions because when is israel going to abide by a united nations security council resolutions but it's interesting you say that because of course the united nations resolution two forty two doesn't state doesn't call for withdrawal completely from any occupied territories it calls to exalt in one hundred sixty seven borders it calls for withdrawal from this from occupied territories in return for peace and security so when you quote united nations resolutions you have to apply it to both sides the united nations resolution two forty was very very clear withdraw from occupied territory in return for peace and security israel does not have peace and security when its neighboring arab countries and the palestinians offer it peace and secur

but on the bright side we had the establishment of the united nations charter. and i think that's really significant speed up to the present i think mark how many. posture reports as three i think already. china russia iran and north korea there are the revisionist powers i would posit in light of the establishment of the united nations charter and in light of what's going on in syria it's the western powers the revisionist powers if you put it next to the united nations charter we have the french we have the british and the americans going all the way back to one thousand nine hundred six. in deciding the fate of syria in the middle east by passing in the age of they would say it's a legitimate bypass of the united nations charter peter that we're going backwards and we're not learning some of the very few good things that we got from that conflict that ended in one thousand nine hundred. well the first item on the agenda for the united nations was nuclear disarmament to make sure there was a deterrent only but seventy two years we haven't gotten exactly close

and great britain want to start going around the security council of the united nations so they can pursue their syria policy i find this really very troublesome and gained risk here because we have to remember what the security council was a stablish for in the first place it was to make sure that we'd never be another third war third world war and now they were these major powers and we're talking in like nineteenth century terms again these great powers they don't want to use international institutions they have poor international law or they're just above it that is very dangerous because it's dysfunctional is the u.n. is it the you want united nations security council actually works the way it's supposed to where you don't have a coalition of great powers that brush aside the concerns of others here i find it truly disturbing and if the same powers one hundred exactly one hundred years later they carved up the middle east and they want to do it again go ahead michael. the u.s. is in a difficult position i think of. trying to restrain developments that could

united nations propose the creation of both a jewish state and an arab state in the land of israel.the jews were given just a portion of our historic homeland. yet we accepted this year we took it, but the arabs said no. the palestinians could not bear the thought of sharing what was our land to begin with, so the launch of war upon us. israel ultimately won that battle, but palestinian lies and violence do not relate, and too many international community let them get away with it. they falsely equated zionism with racism. they saluted the palestinian cause while israelis were murdered, kidnapped and forgotten. they sided with palestinian killers, often with no questions asked. fast-forward to 2005. israel disengaged on gaza. we left completely. no jewish community. you call it settlement, occupation. we took out the entire jewish community out of gaza. even the people within gaza, we took them out. no checkpoints, no civilians, nothing. we left. prime minister sharon decided to try. we left gaza in 2005. gaza could become a palestinian success story. maybe the singapore of the midd

of human rights law, and the relevant provisions of -- and decisions of the united nations. we have warned against the crushing of a people as a whole. the various forms of abuse, and oppression. we have warned you not to close your eyes to the catastrophic solution occupied by the territory including east jerusalem and their continued deterioration of conditions in occupied palestinian territory because of the israeli occupation which culminated in the legitimate u.s. decision on jerusalem. we have warned you about the constant ongoing impunity of israel. we have asked for the exceptionally -- to be lifted which makes it possible for israel to act as if it were above the law. we have called israel to be held responsible for its actions and for justice to be done for innocent victims. in the past and for the past eight weeks we have begged you constantly to prevent another massacre conducted by israel. the occupying power. a massacre, the heavy burden of which is borne by our occupied palestinian people. our young people, our men, are women, older people without discriminati

they blame israel, and then they complain to the united nations. it is the deadly game that palestinians plight -- play, and they play it at the expense of innocent children. once again, the palestinian leadership is using every ounce of energy to attack us and attempt to destroy us. one of the players of this game is right across the room, the palestinian representative. and his friend are guilty of placing young palestinian children in harm's way. they are killing their own people. they are guilty of exploiting them for a public relations game. we predicted the situation many months ago. always employed the same strategy of manipulation. every time the palestinians have an opportunity to change the course of history, to partner with us on the path of peace, they always choose violence. they never fail to miss a golden opportunity to build a better future for their children and for ours. leaders are not the only participants in this scheme. some in the international community are playing into their hands. palestiniansng the the attention they seek

in the western media he writes again this is the un representative united nations regardless of what interventionist politicians the media and some non-governmental organizations affirm the situation of then it so it does not reach the limit level of the humanitarian crisis true enough there is a scarcity of certain foods medicines and personal hygiene items there are delays in distribution there are a lot more inspirations foods there was galloping inflation there is anger there are institutional and constitutional irregularities like in so many countries of our suffering world but by her but hyperboles do not help us or the venezuelan people who need international solidarity and a good faith humanitarian is the end he concludes is just one line to the extent that sanctions u.s. sanctions that directly or indirectly course sort of is it necessary medicines such as insulin anti-malaria drugs to the extent that sanctions have caused delays and distribution and that's contributed to many deaths sanctions must be condemned as an right against humanity and that again if you the united na

after their missions to be loyal to each child all the united nations resolutions been left in the burbsthey have been applied. and that of course is in good measure due to the united states in one thousand nine hundred forty nine israel seized more land allocated to the arabs by the un partition plan by april one thousand nine hundred eighty nine the gravity of what palestinians called the next. feat was becoming clear. more than four hundred villages and eleven cities were destroyed. over seven hundred thousand palestinians had become refugees from the land that would become the new state of israel. over thirteen thousand palestinians had been killed more than thirty thousand injured. the un pushed for armistice deals between israel and the surrounding arab countries with counter burn adults murder the negotiations were now headed by his deputy the american mediator ralph bunche. in february nine hundred forty nine the first armistice agreement was signed between israel and egypt followed by lebanon in march jordan in april and finally with syria in july. the jordanian deal conceded fu

that order would become the world order. - already the united nations has become the measure, and the vehicle, of man's most generous impulses. - the imf world bank. the united states remains honored to be one of the founding fathers of both organizations. - that's why we created nato. the powerful military alliance of democracies, that has guaranteed our security for half a century now. - we've lost 60,000 factories since china joined the world trade organization in 2001. - the us government's position after the end of the cold war was this was a good thing, let's keep it going. the military did get smaller, but the united states really didn't shed any of its major foreign responsibilities. there was a very conscious decision, on the part of george hw bush administration, and then immediately after that, the clinton administration, to define a new set of objectives around american primacy. - some people were more optimistic about the possibility of perpetuating america's unilateral power, particularly its military strength. you had other people who saw, as a more realistic alternativ

my point is that we can't ignore the united nations.n't hide the young generation. the kashmiris are coming out on the streets, protesting for their rights, and they're being attacked with pellet guns, and human rights atrocities, the people of kashmir are screaming that the butcher has become the butcher of kashmir and the world international committee is turning a blind eye. we have to engage on issues. i want peace with india, but in order to accomplish that, we can't ignore the elephants in the room. so we were talking about you entering politics, you said you felt you had to, do what you're doing now. do you feel that it's a burden on you? look, there's no greater pride in a son's life to know, to feel that he is working towards accomplishing his mother's unfulfilled mission. that is what motivates me, that's what drives me. of course it's challenging. pakistan is one of the most difficult countries on the planet to do politics. my entire family has been assassinated, workers and leaders of my party have been assassinated... are yo

also, the united nations security council. the date of implementation, january 2016, the iaea, international atomic energy agency, steve, 11 times... i understand that. publicly, that iran has complied with its commitment in the nuclear deal and there is no evidence of violating the deal and agreement at all. i want to get this clear. mr rouhani indicated that if he does not get satisfaction of the 4+1 of the p4+i signatories sticking to thejcpoa as it currently stands, if he doesn't get satisfaction, he will press the green light on iran ramping up its uranium enrichment programme and its various nuclear programmes immediately and the implication is iran is in a position where it can not just restart the programme, but it can massively expand it very quickly. is that true? you see, steve, if the us is going to withdraw from the deal, if the europeans are not going to limit their commitments and violate the deal, if the p5+i cannot deliver their commitments, it is reallyjustified for iran to depart from the deal because the de

neighbors and take over their capitals so no but jerusalem has always been our capital and the united nations failed in trying to produce an international solution to jerusalem back in one nine hundred forty seven and one nine hundred forty eight you might remember that in the first arab israeli war we were invaded holy sites were destroyed we had about fifty five synagogues in the old city of jerusalem that were either desecrated or was smashed and we were in a very do. called situation that our entire jewish community in the old city where we have had a majority since the mid one nine hundred century it was ethnically cleansed so who's going to take care of jerusalem us or come us you have to make a decision and it's clear that we will protect the holy sites of all the great faiths christianity judaism and islam ok well ambassador i know that even before the the embassy a democrat embassy was moved to jerusalem you gave a number of public talks including one in front of the u.s. congress on the beach here laid out the the case for the historic connection of jews to the holy city and i don't

well the united nations is appealing for funds the various u.n. agencies saying that they just do not have the money to continue to provide services to these people millions and millions of syrians depend on aid to survive seven million internally displaced in syria i can tell you just in recent months the tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes as part of surrender deals with the government moved to the countryside the northwestern countryside of it live they live in tents they've left everything behind so they have no jobs so these people need aid to survive so seven million inside syria united nations talking about five point five million refugees in neighboring countries lebanon jordan countries really which have been facing a lot of strain the government here appealing for help because it just cannot provide for these people and many syrians really have taken jobs the jobs from the lebanese causing a social tension so the united nations saying to the international community we do not have money and if you do not give us this

ambassador to the united nations nikki how resorting to duty tactics and writing a threatening letter do you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more questions. being asked if the current violence that we witnessing is a response to the embassy me well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians. palestinian envoy to the un says the security council said hold emergency session within the next twenty four hours and i.d.f. israeli military spokesman in insists though they're trying to minimize casualties but also stop the gaza border fence being bridged at the same time he blamed hamas which controls gaza for inciting violence encouraging people to attack israeli border. our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will.

supervised and signed under the auspices of the united nations security council so it is not a bilateral agreement as it is betrayed in western media here. mark i thought it was interesting the title time for europe to join the resistance i would say that's a bit too late but you know they might try go ahead europe was a member of the resistance before the resistance and you know existed as european leaders you know had a problem with donald trump during his election campaign and now they've they initially when he took office they tried various attempts to to butter up to him and to try to in the. way in the most embarrassing way but they obviously are invested in this deal with iran do they have good reason to be u.s. trade with iran last year was two hundred million dollars each trade with iran was twenty five billion dollars right so that that tells you that there are there are vested interests they're all there then you know just preventing a war in conflagration across the across the middle east but you know i have problem believing that the e.u. will stick by their guns we've seen

the question is is united nations even relevant anymore?ink it is relevant only because it is the parliament to the world. the only place when 193 countries gather and discuss the fate of the world. but it's making a difference in his for his israel is concert they are a citadel of hypocrisy, not just double standard but triple stander. and a special stander for israel to which it devotes a lot of time in a very hostile way. and therefore as far as the world is concerned in our region it's very irrelevant at the moment. >> when you say is the citadel of hypocrisy, part of me that believes in that regard should be irrelevant. but the united states funds almost one quarter of the united nations budget. should we be doing that? i think there is a necessity for parliament with the nations. and they may not be doing the right thing, but i think there ways of changing it. when i was there, i found important ground for multilateral and bilateral talks with countries that do not recognize israel. there is a huge discrepancy between what the ambassa

because north korea has a full diplomatic mission here an embassy in effect to the united nations they have staff here diplomats translators and most importantly a secure way of communicating back to pyongyang and they have none of that in washington d.c. because there are no formal relations between the u.s. and north korea in terms of diplomatic relations and james our what is it what is the. trip how difficult is it going to be to narrow this gap. ahead of that historic summit between kim and president trump if it takes place. well we know from recent comments from south korea's unification minister that there is still a gap a substantial gap all-night the issue of denuclearization and what the two sides mean and how you go about it so i think that's one of the main sticking points but it's going to have to be worked out when secretary of state. comes here in new york in a couple of hours time we understand that general kim will get a little bit of a rest and then the two will have a dinner to discuss things and then more. more meetings taking place on thursday here in new york and

the united nations my personal impression is that. they are moving along the lines of the u.n. security council resolution which was adopted on syria and one of them in you constitution and in the near future at this is the elections under the auspices of the united nations but today the key question of course the peaceful life in the areas where we're liberated. i think that the situation there on damascus is now much better for example in eastern duma we got the information that sixty seven thousand people came back to to the good east and good and that's a good side so on the agenda for syrian government is the of course the economic rehabilitation of the country and i think that the world community should police role and we're trying to do our best we just recently supplied syria with the two thousand five hundred tons of the human uteri and aid but definitely we need the you know the contribution from the contributions from the world community i'm not going to talk about the. unlawful sanctions which were put by the european union in syria which prohibits the supply of the
