can you understand why people don't trust the united nations today? the united nations is a great idea and if it didn't exist, we would have to create it. now. oh course it's $198.00 and it's not. i'm done with that. and it's not mine, he moved, i mean the organization is the state and anything that is human is, of course, in a way it's functional. it's in a way of corrupted. you know, way i jacked and the united nations does very good things. i and i plan especially work done by the world health organization and the international labor office and the world intellectual property organization. but of course, those highly political issues are, what does the security council do to preserve the piece that is actually the principal on the united nations daughter commitment to human rights, a commitment to the right to the development in all of those areas, we are limping and we're limping badly, and of course human rights and we have the standard. i mean, the norms are there, the mechanisms are they are what we don't have is and for the special rock will o

you know, way i, jack and the united nations, very good things. i and i plan, especially all 3 work done by the world health organization and the international labor office and the world intellectual property organization. but of course, those highly political issues are, what does the security council do to preserve the piece that is actually the principal or on the united nations daughter commitment to human rights, a commitment to the right for the development in all of those areas. we are limping and we're limping badly. and of course human rights. we have the standard. i mean the norms are there, the mechanisms are there what we don't have is and for the special rock will occur for the human rights council. they are like, and the procedure of electing the expert is anything but perfect is extremely political. and for that reason, usually most rock curves are those people who are going to told a lie in friend is just to interrupt that. we've had very good ones on this program arguably. yeah, i think that's a good news. the good news is we have

a basically that the seriousness of the government is demonstrated because we have allowed the united nation commission for human rights to conduct investigations on the actions of the day. if you have been a soldier, the if your penn national defense force and also that human rights commission was part of this a project that joint project and investigation, acknowledging the wrong doings. or of some e n d f. the members of the government that has already been undertaken and there have been a the government has taken the initiative to undertake this m. a small group of small members of they have been national defense force members to that justice system that we have already in the country. so that is one thing that the government has done, acknowledging the wrong banks, and also taking action accordingly. the numbers seemed quite low though i mean prime minister abbey amid to your point, said in march that any soldier responsible for raping are women in looting. communities in the region will be held accountable, numerous in jails. numerous observers have documented the systematic use of rap

but the fact that the prime stair decided to arrest the united nation stuff yesterday, 16 of them have been detained. and today about 70, a subcontractor sold the unit to mission a truck driver. so i'd be interested. these are a clear indication of message from the prime stair to tell the warrant that he is going to plow his way out of these conflict without any chance of giving diplomacy on a chance in this, in this coffee and our company said, thank you very much. for joining us from new york prussia now that always is accusing european union of provoking a refugee and my going to stand off on its border with poland as an excuse to impose your sanctions to latest shots in an escalating war of words. european union has been a russian president, alexander lucas shank has led people to poland still step in order to the stabilize the region stuck in the middle of some 2000 people stranded in freezing and dangerous conditions at the eastern edge of europe. at him, barbara has more. oh, they're not asking for much. in fact, these children just want water journalists are banned from this ar

that is why the united nations or that is one of the reasons why the united nations was established in the 1st place. but of course, there is no evidence to suggest about moscow or any other foreign governments in the world is attention. a reason he made the allegation is to give me a pretext to keep on building up its presence on the russian. yeah, but the irony is here. and then there was a 14 by foreign governments against the duly elected president at the time. i mean, it's really quite rich, you're talking about a foreign middling in your domestic politics when he is the result of it. i can't imagine where they're getting their intelligence from. i can't imagine. so he's privy to the special briefings and u. s. intelligence will probably have plenty of files and dossiers to open up on the desk of presidential lensky, to show him how under threat he is from, from moscow. it's not in moscow interest to be over throwing government, especially in the ukraine and doing it in the sort of public view. but this, this narrative plays over so well and constantly in the west. so this is a ve

my cana all jazeera united nations. let's take a closer look at how see dawn that got to this point. military and civilian leaders were sharing power off to long time leader. omar bashir was ousted, falling mass protests and 2019. both sides blamed each other for sleigh reforms. a worsening economic crisis, and corruption that led to major divisions within the transitional governments. things came to head last month. when general abdel father albert han dissolve. the interim government and detain, the civilian prime minister johan has molded. my name is a horn of africa analyst on a lecturer international relations at george mason university, joins us. i skype from new york many thanks for speaking to us. what are your thoughts on this new governing? sovereign counsel? is this the military and alba hahn trying to tighten their grip on power? it certainly seems like it. this is a cool. they call themselves provision, usually cool leaders when they take over. and the remaining part for a long time, we've seen this over an

one of the issues we are bringing to hear as part of a national build back better fossil for campaign, a movement in the unitedstates between our indigenous nations, our black and people of color communities, and green groups is to push biden -- not only biden, but the northern industrialized countries to declare a climate emergency and keep fossil fuels in the ground and end the subsidies of fossil fuels globally, that backup domestically. we have got to do that. in the -- end the fossil fuel leasing program. we're here to lift up the full solutions around net zero agenda. there is no problem about us pushing for a zero agenda emissions, but when they put in the word "net" it is problematic. it is a process and what we see of not really cutting emissions at the source. it is the main buzzword here "net zero emissions" "nature-based solutions." "net" has nothing to do with reducing emissions to zero. it has nothing to do about cutting emissions at the level we need to restrict the warming about 1.5 celsius. it is very critical. it is in issue of life and death for many of our indigenous peoples to the north to

united nations is saying 72. well.

and that drove the condemnation from the united nations, the united nation special envoy to sudan. walker per to says that he strongly deplore and condemned the arrest of there's people who he has just met them to. they also, the government has dissolved all the boards of the estate companies and agriculture projects and, but has, as the companies to keep professional under the new, the new people or the managers are appointed. when it comes to protest, people say that the protests are losing momentum. today, there was a protest at l. l. a and 3rd mosque, which is, which was led by my party what's, which is 11 of the largest traditional party in sudan. however, there are the calls, particularly for sunday, the youth professional union including the banker union. there are quoting for massive general general strikes and civil disobedience. but the government said that despite the called, the institutions are going to keep professional and the schools are going to remain open. we do not know whether this call are going to success, accessible or not. but on sunday, dealt with that wil

you know, they realized that at the united nations. i spoke truth to power, its what i do.t's what she -- what we should all do. life is easier when you tell the truth. it was the honor of a lifetime to represent america at the u.n. and defend the country i love so very much, even if it was a forum where america is often disrespected. but part of that disrespect comes from the nature of the u.n. itself. the other part is what we brought upon ourselves. take cuba, for example. every year, the u.n. has a vote that denounces america for the conditions in cuba. you heard that right. it's a total joke, but that's what the u.n. has done the past 28 years. shockingly, in the last year of the obama administration, when president obama was making nice with the castro dictatorship, the u.s. actually abstained on the u.n. vote denouncing america. it was totally shameful. the point is this, at the u.n. and in international relations generally, you cannot expect the rest of the world to respect you if you don't respect yourself. this embarrassing abstention was unfortunately not just li

and united nations special envoy for libya has quits just weeks before these elections. young cubis had been in the role for less than a year at diplomatic editor, james bass reports from you in headquarters. in new veteran you an official, yan cubis has headed the un peace efforts in libya since january this year, about the timing of his resignation. one month before the country's elections caused considerable surprise to diplomats we are not sure about the timing, but yet he, he's very sensitive because her, the, the, the, the electra processes are a few weeks for away from now. we think it is very important that his replacement will be come into place as as soon as possible, at least so that there will be no vacuum speaking to the security council by video link from tripoli. mr. cooper, she explained, he didn't want to be based full time in the libyan capital, but felt that's what the job now needed. but he made it clear he didn't want to desert his post. on the 17th of november 2021. i've done that my resignation in the nation, the letter to the secretary general. i
