seen from the perspective of the united nations in new york, dedicated to peace, any cease-fire must stop all of war. president assad and his russian backers still believe they can retake the entire country. still, the united states hopes to salvage something, but watch john kerry and the u.n. syrian envoy and notice the cold distance between them and russian foreign minister survey lavrov. -- sergelavrov. the u.n. secretary-general was unusually blunt, accusing the final speech to accuse the syrian government of the greatest war crimes of a very dirty war. secretary ban: it cannot get any worse. the bar of depravity sinks lower. many groups have killed many innocents, but none more so than the government of syria. james: the destruction of the aid convoy, the killing of aid workers, whoever was responsible, symbolizes a war in syria which looks for now looks unstoppable. james robbins, bbc news at the united nations in new york. katty: for more on what the attack means for syrians, i spoke with gail smith, the administrator for the u.s. agent the of international development . she jo

mexico has always been a staunch ally of the united nations and the nation that firmly believes in its powers. here, vital, collective efforts have been undertaken in pursuit of humankind. for more than seven decades, the world's diverse voices have spoken out for a better future. every generation has resolutely taken on the challenges of its times. it shows to us to continue in that spirit and to confront the enormous challenge of making sustainable development of the planet a reality. we have taken the first step in that direction reprisely by defining the sustainable development goals. the 2030 ajeopardya, which we formulated and agreed on within the united nations is without a doubt the boldest, noblest and most demanding action that the international community has adopted in recent history. the road map for national and subnational governments as well as for all of society stakeholders that have the mission of improving the lives of billions of people with no one left behind. because of its scope and objectives, the 2030 agenda is the framework which harmonizes the agreement reach

the vote on this resolution in the united nations was 144 in favor and four against. tes of america was one of the four countries that shamed themselves by voting against the rights of indigenous peoples. in 2007, the united states of america voted the wrong way on genocide in the united nations. in a vote unnoticed by most of us here in the united states, but seen very clearly by every other country at the united nations. the bush administration's ambassador to the u.n. voted no that day. in what was sadly a morally consistent position for a country that had in fact committed genocide for hundreds of years, against its indigenous peoples, when president obama sent susan rice to the united nations as our next ambassador, she changed our vote. and so the united states joined the countries who got that genocide vote right the first time. today the chairman of the standing rock sioux tribe testified in geneva, switzerland, to the united nations human rights council on a hearing on indigenous people's rights. >> my name is dave arsham bow. our tribal nation is a sovereign

we are one of the first to submit to the united nations the national plan on the implementation of the agenda. sustainable development is first and foremost about development and development underpins every human achievement. without development, nothing can be sustainable. the likelihood of a development is often at the root of many of the world's problems, be it poverty or the refugee crisis, war, conflicts or terrorism. they could be attributed to insufficient development and none of them can be resolved properly without development. only development can guarantee people's fundamental rights and interests. only development can root out the causes for global changes. and only development can advance human civilization and progress. of course, development must be sustainable. it must be sustainable in all dimensions. otherwise, development will be stalled, growth will be stalled, and held back. development won't be sustainable if it is imbalanced, unequal and widens the gap between the north and the south and rich and poor. development won't be sustainable if it strains the environmen

the united nations denounces israel; the united states supports israel. and a central pillar of that defense has been america's consistent support for israel at the un. i appreciate president obama's commitment to that longstanding us policy. in fact, the only time that the united states cast a un security council veto during the obama presidency was against an anti-israel resolution in 2011. as president obama rightly declared at this podium, peace will not come from statements and resolutions at the united nations. i believe the day is not far off when israel will be able to rely on many, many countries to stand with us at the un. slowly but surely, the days when un ambassadors reflexively condemn israel, those days are coming to an end. ladies and gentlemen: today's automatic majority against israel at the un reminds me of the story, the incredible story of hiroo onada. hiroo was a japanese soldier who was sent to the philippines in 1944. he lived in the jungle. he scavenged for food. he evaded capture. eventually he surrendered, but that didn't happen
