by the same time this this talk about what to starve the reform within organizations like the united nations so which one do you think should be tackled immediately i think it's a very tricky question and we are very troubling times because on the one hand we have leadership in the united states where we have always expected a culture that promotes human rights that is retracting on human rights we have some countries in the members of the european union who again retracting going back to borders going against human rights and we also have countries like china which let's be clever very public that they don't believe in human rights that they would like to take human rights off the table together and so there is this sort of critical mass of states for different reasons who are anti human rights what we need are the last american states many of the european states some of the african states who really believe passionately in strong being human rights to come together and to find ways of lobbying for effective change finding finding mechanisms together that suit all of their needs and ideolog

that will work together to finally provide relief for the syrian people and we support the united nations political process that seeks to end the war in syria but we also warn any nation that is determined to impose its will through chemical attacks and any human suffering most especially the outlaw syrian regime the united states remains prepared to act if we must it is not the path we prefer but it is a path we have demonstrated we will take and we are prepared to take it again thank you i think to represented so the u.s. ambassador to the united nations and kaylie speaking at the u.n. security council in new york effectively saying that the u.s. is presenting a new u.n. draft resolution on a syria ceasefire kristen salumi will tell us more about when the q. haley had to say on the draft resolution kristen. well yes a threat coming from the united states directed at the syrian regime and some strong words for russia the united states saying that clearly the resolution twenty four a one passed fifteen days ago has not been implemented she faulted russia for continuing to bomb areas of ea

back in one thousand nine hundred four and he said at that time there is no such thing as the united nations when the united states leads others will follow when we choose to leave we might do so when we don't it nothing will happen and he went on to say the remark that's now been quoted in a lot of the articles about his current new position which is a very powerful position where he said you could charge half the top ten floors of the united nations and it wouldn't make any difference because it doesn't do anything he has shown an absolute disdain for international law and in that context saying the u.n. doesn't matter international law doesn't matter all that matters is u.s. power u.s. might it's kind of trumps a version of america first on steroids but of course it was trump who surprised the world with this idea of negotiation with pyongyang a recent pentagon simulation predicted non-nuclear conflict with. equated to a daily a daily death toll in south korea of twenty thousand you know that bolton is going to persuade the trump against his plan for george or rather than war war i don't

and it is still an indispensable part of united nations and it is inconceivable that the united nationswould exist without the united states taking part in it. this creates a problem because this is always the exception. almost every resolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance and nuclear nonproliferation, we saw with grants presentation earlier, the united states is significant for nonproliferation treaty that says nothing apart from what is now the five permanent members and have nuclear weapons and then it condones nuclear weapons in israel. because it does that every other country in the world and eckstein says hey, if them, why not us? you continually create exceptions to your own roles that other people walk into and settlements in particular the us has never improve them but they changed the language so often over the years that as far as the us is concerned jerusalem is international territory in the state department and i believe just showing this about law i read earlier this year that the state department is still refusing to issue passports with jerusalem israel

they're here accredited to the united nations and i'm sure russia is going to question the u.s. is ability to expel them the u.s. says it's in line with its agreement that it has to be the host nation of the united nations but i think there'll be a disagreement with russia all maps and i think what it will do is further poison relations here at the united nations which have deteriorated so much in recent years particularly after the annexation of crimea are just going to get worse it's going to make it much harder i think for the russian ambassador to sit down with with the american ambassador nikki haley and try and get things done on important issues like syria and yemen we are maybe not quite in the in. days reminiscent of the cold war but it's certainly getting very chilly indeed because it's such broad coordination isn't it by countries throughout the world that it's extraordinary to me if against russia in this quarter naked way. yes and i think this is really going to anger the russian authorities and in particular president putin coming as it does after his reelection th

how else can we expect to combat bias, one-sided and hateful acts of the united nations that not onlynfairly target israel but seek to delegitimize the jewish people to their ancestral homeland? it's disgraceful to see organizations and missions of the united nations fail to take actions on war crimes in syria and the gross human rights violations of the iranian regime or the venezuelan regime or the cuban regime but always find time to condemn and target and isolate israel. of course these insid with us efforts to isolate israel from the global community extend far beyond the united nations. now, i dream of the day when we will not have to fight these fights. i pray for the day when we will not have to fight sanction policies by governments and businesses or at the united nations or here at home on college campuses. >> the aipac conference, including this morning's remarks by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the conference will air later on the c-span networks.

i look forward to discussions in the united nations. the united nations must speak with a clear and unambiguous point. mr. speaker, the fact that we're expelling the largest number of officers is welcome and examine what can be done to defend against whohostile state activities. i'm pleased that the government is taking action in this area and the opportunity to meet previously, someone that has been personally massive risk and has stood up to the effects of russian state power. mr. speaker, financial sanctions are welcome and we must redouble efforts against any money laundering. it must be clear to the russian authorities that we will not tolerate activities that are under international law. and we'll continue to scrutinize them and must ensure scrutiny of any proposed legislation. our thoughts are with those in russia who have suffered from abuse of state power. there is no doubt that that is what we are seeing. and in doing so, we'll look forward to a time when we can engage in a positive way, but the only response today must be a r

they like the united nations. they made an exception because of all the stuff about israel and zion system racism. they didn't think it through. but eroded the support. and this helped erode the support for the united nations inside the u.s. you got the, so the people who would automatically have been natural supporters of the u.n. were always ambivalent bit. you have jewish senators from new york looking over their shoulders who will pass resolutions condemning the u.n., cutting the funds. that is one of the points that the lobby has been doing in washington is to try to trim the u.n.'s size by threatening to withhold fund or actually withholding funds or pulling out of organizations as we've seen recently. the effect isn't just financial. it is a continue all sort of attrition of the morale and standing in the u.n. we have seen secretary-generals now who realize that to get on with the u.s. you have to pander to the israel lobby. and all secretary generals have done this pragmatic extent in prolific way. ban ki-
