we had discussions in the united nations to avoid what we are experiencing right now. those efforts failed and what russia has succeeded in doing -- they failed in bringing down ukraine, but they have succeeded in uniting the international community. they have succeeded in unifying and emboldening and giving courage to the ukrainian people. to fight back. and they have succeeded in uniting nato. and the international community has stood strongly in isolating russia here at the united nations. we have had two votes -- in fact, three votes in the general assembly. one condemning russia, which we got 141 members to support. the second, calling for humanitarian assistance for the ukrainian people. we got 140 votes or that. and just recently, last week, we succeeded in suspending russia from the human rights council through the general assembly. so they are isolated here at the united nations and while they do have a veto, there veto has not been effective in vetoing our voices, in vetoing the condemnation, in vetoing the unity of the international community and calling russ

whether it's the united nations or the international community. i looking at negotiated settlement and cease fire. should russia look at a negotiated settlement? is there a country or an organization that could act as a mediator? who would russia consider as a mediating agency? thank you. well, the ram secretariat as not to the power to do investigations of that kind. or we have her the international criminal court. her, we have a different mechanisms that exist in the human rights system, namely formations of inquiry or it is not my intention to promote an investigation myself. i have not your 40 for it, but i think it's very important to way of independent investigations in order to wear full credibility and full accountability. let's look a certain little new meal approach. official. let me respond to the questions put to me. first of all, i'd like to explain the position of the international community and what the united nations should do based on the principles of for the chart of the united nations. in particular, the sovereignty of each mem

the united nations is ready to do everything when it means to help bring an end to it. thank you, madam president. i thank mister caller for her briefing, and i now give the floor to mister motion griffiths. thank you, meghan packaging me. and as you just heard from the surgery.

thank you ladies and gentlemen of the press, the secretary general's united nations. i came to moscow as a messenger of fish. my objective and my agenda is strictly linked to save lives and previous suffering. i had a very frank discussion with the foreign minister said go, i've ross. and it is clear that there are due to different positions on what is happening in ukraine. according to the russian federation, what is taking place is a special need that your promotion with your objectives as well or not. according to the un in line with the resolutions passed by the general assembly rushes invasion of ukraine is a violation of his very thought of the infinity and against the chart that of united nations. but it is my deep conviction that the sooner we end these war, the better for the people of ukraine, for the people of the russian federation. and those 5 young united nations as repeatedly called forces fires, to protect civilians and to facilitate the political dialogue to reach a solution. so far that has not been possible to day across the lawn. bass. the violent

the united nations is ready to do everything when it's means to help bring an end to it. thank you madam president. i thank mister caller for her briefing. and i now give the floor to motion griffith's thank you, met him for getting me and as you can from the secretary general and on the circuit .

but as you say, russia has been speaking to countries in the united nations. we've seen a note that says that russia will consider it and an unfriendly gesture if countries vote to suspend it, that a gesture, that would be taken into account in bilateral relations with russia and in un activities as well. so a bit of an ominous warning from russia as countries line up to make their voices heard on the issue of human rights. and i'm in in ukraine. kosta. of course we're going to be checking in with you as we get closer to that vote for now. kristen salumi the you and thank you very much indeed. or with accusations of war crimes being exchanged regularly. no russians. foreign minister sag oliver has accused you trains also battalion of killing russian prisoners of war. there was no, we open to occur significant. we were quite positive about the talks, but now you credit negotiate as a korea to you provocations. just look what happened in the town of boucher, especially the absolute, blatant atrocities that are being recorded on video or for the nazis from the as

thomas, the ukranian president, addressing the world and calling out the united nations. and that sound bite that we have just heard actually summarizes the 2 main points that mr. zalinski a tried to present before they knighted nation security council. on the one hand, his criticism of russia, of those war crimes, as he described them, telling also western nations telling the international community about those atrocities. on the other hand, also criticizing the united nations security council itself, or it's inaction and basically calling for a reform of the united nations security council. it's important to stress that the united nations security council has one of that key un institutions, holes. a lot of power, for example, has the capacity to present binding resolutions. yet at the same time, the 5 permanent members of that security council have a veto power. and one of those 5 members is russia, which basically means that on this particular case, it is very difficult to have concrete action from the united nations security council. and that was something that mr. sa

and, and my question to the foreign minister, sir, ah, both sides, but it's the united nation. so the international community i looking at negotiated settlement and cease fire. should russia look at a negotiated settlement? is there a country or an organization that could act as a mediator? who would russia consider as a mediating agent? thank you. well, the ram secretariat as not to the power to do investigations of that kind. or we have her the international criminal court. we have a different mechanisms that exist in the human rights system, namely formations of inquiry, or it is not my intention to promote an investigation myself. i have not your fault before it, but i think it's very important to have independent investigations in order to have full credibility and full accountability thus took a so some now, so really, as for the question addressed to me 1st, i wanted to say, you put you through a little bug, the positions that the international community is taken and what the you, when was this, i should think about his positions position groups, so naturally shemelle te

states said that the united nations is outdated and that the world needs something else. yes, i meant, just in the alliance of democracy, and under the authority of the united states and before that, the united states, too in every possible way promoted different models of alternatives. united nations organization but now it seems to me in the context of american policy towards. russia in relation to the ukrainian conflict, these attempts by the united states have sharply intensified and it is worth paying attention to how deliberately and rudely the united states is trying to put more and more countries before elections, yes, either they will join, uh, the united states and allies, or they will turn out to be on the so-called wrong side of history. so is it possible to put the question is that if the united states succeeds in this policy, otherwise it will not only restore or take a step towards the restoration of its dominance, but this will generally be the beginning of the end of the united nations organization. the un secretary general regularly visits

either united nations have to be or look beautiful. living pivot deals rules to have a dialogue without fuel issues, rates without news. you may notice and are without lego nationals of measures taken, such as sanctions that were taken by our own student weston colleagues using their leading role in the international video system. sure, as far as negotiations are concerned, we are in favor of solving issues on the basis of negotiations. you may know don sir, president says soleski has proposed such negotiations. we have agreed on bud, sir. mister zalinski and his team are, was behaving negatively. they have been rejected many things, they have received new proposals from us just a couple of days ago and they do not respond. so they seem not to be very interested in negotiation. so they, you seem to believe that you books or she would be, do you know about your properties? there will be others who do not want russia to still anybody with the new new people when they are others who would like russia to be destroyed. and the ukraine is for

so we're alive and cave moscow and the united nations as well. and we'll start with kristen salumi who is joining us from the un some highly charged statements coming out of the un earlier. kristin, just talk us through some of the take away messages. a fascinating meeting of the un security council with members going, responding, making accusations, going back and forth, a lot of inter changes between council members, something we don't typically see. we have caught countries like the united states in the united kingdom, backing up ukraine, who's president vladimir zalinski did make his 1st appearance before the security council. since the start of this conflict, they've been pointing to the images in boucher as evidence of war crimes. calling for that investigation and calling the entire credibility of the united nation system into account, we heard as lensky say, that the right of the veto on the security council should not become the right of death. that it should not give russia a pass to what it alleges are international crimes crimes that

joe and kelsey with the united nations -- joanne kelsey with the united nations refugee agency says statelesse face significant barriers within daily life. >> in the united states specifically, and a lot of stateless people do not have an identity, a document that shs who they are. some peoe have a passport, but -- some people have an expired passport, but some people have nothing. it is difficult to get services if you don't have legal documentation. some of the stateless people i have met have and separated from their families and loved ones for decades. employment is very difficult. some of the stateless people i have met have been separated -- homeless or near homeless. stephanie in the u.s., estimates : are in the low hundreds of thousands. it is difficult to pinpoint the number of stateless people living in the united states. late last year, the department of homeland security announced a commitment to defining statelessness that could lead to more protections. the secretary of homeland security addressed what stateless people could expect under the biden administration. will this polic

would be at stake if the united nations is unable to act her reign in russia's aggression. he laid out a case for war crimes, talking about the atrocities that he saw in boucher in particular women being raped in front of their children. and not that he saw that, but that he heard about after visiting boucher, he talked about people being run over by tanks, a russian tanks and, and made the case that there should be an independent tribunal like the one in nuremberg after world war 2 to try russia for war crimes, and he also talked about the fact that if the united nations is not able to hold russia county because it does bear the veto power, which it has used to stop any sort of censure in the united nations security council than the un itself needs to change, it needs to be reform. so the reaction we heard united nations officials themselves who have been on the defensive because of this grave unfolding crisis that they have been unable to stop. they've talked about growing evidence of war crimes and the need to have an independent investigation. they've talked about also

but the main thing is today is it, it's time to transform the system and the united nations. so therefore, i propose to kind of in a global conference and we can do it to here in peaceful cave in order to determine how we are going to reform the world security system and how we will real lie. or how do we establish guarantee of recognition of borders and in christy off states and countries? how we will, is sir the rule of international law. it is now clear that the goals he sat in san francisco in 1945 for the creation of a global security international organization. it has not been achieved, and it is impossible to achieve them without a forums. therefore, we must do everything in our power to pass on to the next generation. and if back day of you and what their ability to respond preventively to security challenges and 1000 guarantee fees prevent aggression and force aggressors. to please have that determination and ability to banish, if the principles of peace violated or can be no more exceptions or privileges. everybody must be equal. all participants of international re

joining us. ukrainian president of holiday mares, lensky has called for urgent action from the united nations over alleged russian war crimes. he addressed a meeting of the un security council after evidence emerged of what appeared to be a deliberate mass killing of civilians by russian troops in the city of boucher outside the ukrainian capital. lemke sharply criticized the security council for failing to take action to end russia's aggression. as a permanent member of the council, russia has the power to veto any binding resolution. only a day after returning from boucher ukrainian president to lensky addressed the killings in front of the u. n. e. the russian military search for and purposely killed any one who served our country. they shot and killed women outside their houses. when they just tried to call some one who was alive, they kill the entire families, adults and children. and they try to burn the bodies slowly the de la wall. so lensky said, russia must be held accountable for its actions in ukraine. he questioned the nobility of the security council to punish russia due to mosc

the moroccan abided to the united nations told joy reid earlier tonight that no one of the united nations believe the word that the russian ambassador said. no other ambassador offered support for russia today, including china's ambassador to the united nations. french president emmanuel macron has been trying to broker a cease-fire in ukraine, and was publicly discouraged two weeks ago on president biden first call of vladimir putin a war criminal. not because macron thinks that he is not a war criminal, but he thought that language would be harmful to the diplomatic process. today, president macron's deputy ambassador to the united nations was no longer constrained by diplomatic concerns. >> we are still shocked by the horrific images that were shown in the video this morning. france condemns in the strongest terms the massive atrocities committed by the russian forces. these atrocities could cause more crimes, also crimes against humanity. >> the video of the french deputy and -- it was about to the united nations by president zelenskyy and sean after his speech. the video includes the

the united nations is ready to do everything to help bring an end to it. thank you madam president. >> i thank you for the briefing and i now give the floor to mr. martin. >> thank you, madam president. as you just heard from the secretary-general, ukrainian civilians are paying far too high a price of this war. i want to speak briefly about the humanitarian needs and what we are doing to meet them before i then refer to my recent travels. in the last six weeks as we have heard at least 1,430 people have been killed. among them, over 121 children. and we know this is likely a serious underestimate. homes and infrastructure bridges, hospitals, schools have been damaged and destroyed. the current figures on displacement tell us that more than 11.3 million people have now been forced to flee their homes and 4.2 million are refugees in those neighboring countries referred to. so total more than a quarter of the population of ukraine has fled in this extraordinary short time. unfortunately, we can imagine that these figures will continue to rise until we can fi

what were those guarantees that the united nation needs to guarantee? it is obvious that the key institution of their world, which must ensure that the coercion of an aggressive to me is simply cannot work effectively. now the world can see that their russian mil, what russian military did in butcher while keeping the city under their occupation . but the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities and regions of our country. geography might be different or various bud. cruelty is the same. crimes are the same and accountability must be inevitable. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to remind you of article one, chapter, one of the you on charter. what is the purpose of our organization? its purpose is to maintain peace and make sure that peace is adhered to. and now the un charter is violated. literally starting with the article one. and if so, what is the point of all other articles today as a result of russia's actions in our country in ukraine, the most terrible war crimes of all times are. we see at the since lower end of worl

in an address to the united nations president zelensky�*s not only accused moscow of war crimes, buting ineffective because russia is abusing its veto as a permanent member on the security council. and that, he said, was preventing international action. here's our north america editor, sarah smith. horrific images of dead civilians lying in the streets of bucha shocked the world, but russia claims the scenes have been staged. analysis of satellite imagery taken in mid—march shows bodies lying in the precise positions corpses were later found, proving they were killed when russian forces controlled the area. ukrainian president zelensky told the un security council the most terrible war crimes since world war ii are being committed in ukraine, saying what's been revealed in bucha is also happening elsewhere. translation: the massacre in our city of bucha is only i one, unfortunately only one of many examples of what the occupiers have been doing on our land for the past 41 days. there are many more cities, similar places, where the world has yet to learn the full truth. he lambasted t

where things stand with that it would take a vote of 2 thirds of countries member states to the united nations there a 193 of them. 2 thirds would have to vote in support of a resolution which the united states has promised to put forward and allies like the united kingdom have promised to support. calling for the suspension of russia from the human rights council. the united states said it was a farce. and hypocritical for russia to serve on that body. only one other country has been removed from it in its history, and that is libya. back in 2011. we're seeing the challenges that the you and faces when you have not veto wielding members of the security council on either side. these great powers that have the potential to block consensus in the security council. it makes going forward very difficult, but the strategy we've seen laid out here by the west is to keep the attention on russia. keep the attention on the conflict and a point to international law, the united nations. well, again, praising everything in the terms of international law, also providing evidence that there are growing conc

what -- where are those guarantees that the united nations need to guarantee?h must ensure the coercion of any aggressor to peace, simply cannot work effectively. now, the world can see that the russian -- what russian military did in bucha, while keeping the city under their occupation, but the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities and regions of our country. geography might be different, but cruelty is the same. crimes are the same, and accountability must be inevitable. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to remind you of article i, chapter i, of the u.n. charter. what is the purpose of our organization? its purpose is to maintain peace and make sure that peace is adhered to. and now the u.n. charter is violated literally, starting with article i. and if so, what is the pint of all other articles? today, as a result of russia's actions in our country, in ukraine, the most terrible war crimes of all times are -- we see since the end of world war ii, and they are being committed. russian troops are deliberately destroying ukrainian c

because these are sanctions adopted by the united nations. as far as the people in those countries that impose the sanctions are concerned, i think what has not been thought through by the western politicians is that what will happen? directions that will happen when the people begin to feel the problems themselves. in such a case, this mass hysteria which we have seen now in some of the western countries, me quite quickly. the question and people may disagree, let me get to disagree with their governments about some of the sanctions and you seals or concerning the oil and gas. the european countries have made an exception and they always say a minute for me, it's quite ironic. they officially say in the brightness and foreign minister sanctions not must be structured in such a way that do they do not affect us negative. it is a rather a promise if not a statement. if you treat yourself as 2 separate entities and either me or the brand of your decision, whether your creation should not, you should be somehow isolated from that. isn't that, yo

the united nations can be simply closed. ladies and gentlemen, i am ready to are you ready to close the u.n.? do you think the time of international law is gone? if your answer is no, then you need to act immediately. the u.n. charter must be restored immediately. the u.n. system must be reformed immediately so the veto is not the right to die, that there is a fair representation in the security council of all regions of the world. the aggressor must be brought to peace immediately. determination is needed. the massacre from syria to somalia, from afghanistan to libya, that should have been stopped a long time ago, to tell you the truth. if tyranny had at least once received such a response to the war it had it reached, it would have ceased to exist and honest peace would be guaranteed after it and the world would have changed for sure. and then, perhaps, there would not be war in my country against our people against ukrainian people, against our citizens. the world watched and did not want to see either the occupation of c

we should ask the united nations for such an approach of the secretary general.hat is fundamentally important here, and today you showed various reports from the european media . where it becomes more and more difficult for us to understand there is a fundamentally important point, and tough firm words of our president about the lightning-fast response. everyone has heard and this is a very good signal, as regards all the other statements that we hear from the west well , for example, it's brilliant that strikes on russian territory comply with international law. this is the logic of the west is to shine on the logic. of the west, who are the terrorists here, about whom, or accomplices of terrorists, about whom our western colleagues are talking about. how can strikes on russian territory comply with international law? no well it is clear that for the americans for nato, strikes on iraq, strikes on syria, strikes on afghanistan, strikes, and we can continue to water and yugoslavia, all this was in line with international law. everything is fine. as soon as it con

let now bring in our diplomatic editor james space at the united nations. james talked to us about the importance of this visit for the united nations. secretary general is not just going to moscow, but also to keep later he is personally investing himself in diplomacy. after 2 months of war, he's decided this is the right time. he believes that he can make a difference, but he knows that this was always going to be a very difficult meeting with president putin. he got the long table treatment from the russian president, and there was a pretty frank exchange of views in the bill that was on camera that you certainly got the russian president saying some of those things he said in the past, i am repeating some of the lines that he said in the past, and the secretary general holding his ground to say at one point, i strongly believe in international law. we believe there was an invasion of ukraine. now he knows your audience is not just in moscow. he wants to persuade the russians of his, his aims, which are humanitarian, but also he's got to go to keep wheth

good, harris seemingly not missing any words about how the united nations sees russia so called special military operation in ukraine with i understand these grievances. but from our perspective, the grievances must be solved according to the different instruments that the un charter has at its disposal. and the one thing that we firmly believe is that the violation of the territorial integrity of the country is completely out of order in relation to the charter. earlier in the day. but harris kicked off his trip with a meeting at the russian foreign ministry and a working lunch with survey lover of the 2 officials discussed for nearly 2 hours. the situation in ukraine. they emerged from what was described as a frank conversation. that is clear that there are due to different positions on what is happening in ukraine, according to the russian federation. what is taking place is a special new 3rd, your promotion with your objectives. that's what a lot according to the un in line with the resolutions fast by the general assembly roches invasion of ukraine is a violation of his very though

president demands russia is brought to justice president vladimir as the last key calls on the united nations to act now to stop the war after images of an apparent civilian massacre shocks the world, plus help for moldova, one of europe's forest countries is struggling to host large numbers of ukrainians when war. western countries pledge hundreds of millions of euros in 8 and more than half of ukraine's children displaced by war. millions have been forced to flee from have lost, not just their homes, but their families as well. ah, am abby core of us and welcome to the program? ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has called for urgent action from the united nations over alleged russian war crimes. he addressed a meeting of the un security council after evidence emerged of what appeared to be a deliberate mass killing of civilians by russian troops in the city of boucher outside the ukrainian capital. only a day after returning from boucher ukrainian president to lensky addressed the killings in front of the u. n. e. the russian military search for and purposely killed any one who served o

the united nations is was very important in the korean war because in in theory, it was the united nations that waged war to fight to fight communism and and supports and support democracy. not the united states and by the people and for the people a familiar phrase and the idea of enslavement and and a system that makes people tools of the state. well, this is obviously important because here you are trading as a free person. setting the markets deciding whether two of card one is worth three is worth one of card 48 and you are free to to make your deck and i pray that they may be delivered from oppression. in other words. it's not the least. it's not the people of the soviet union who are bad or evil it's the leaders. and again, this is the entire theme of containment if you understand the russian people and you understand the culture, you'll understand that this is a bad system. the people will will rebel if you just contain them. so this is all just in this one. you haven't even opened the box at this point the topics that i go through that i noticed on on the cards obviously korea oth

>> no, but the united nations is the body that we have and we have to work to improve the united nationsnd continue to use this body to put pressure on the russians, and while they do have the veto power, they cannot veto our voices. they cannot veto the ukrainian president coming in front of the security council and condemning them. they cannot veto you and others who are reporting the truth to the world, and they are uncomfortable, and as for the chinese, they are uncomfortable in this position that they find themselves in, depending what the russians are doing, so we are going to keep the pressure on. we are going to keep applying that pressure until russia comes to understand that they cannot continue this unconscionable for against the ukrainian people. judy: i want to quote to you ambassador thomas greenfield, something president zelenskyy quarter today, he said, was it really necessary to wait for this? did hundreds of ukrainians have to die in agony for some leaders to understand that russia deserves the most severe pressure? >> we have in putting pressure on the russians since d

people here are disappointed sir, regarding the role of the united nation, sir, they think of the united nations could have done more before the war broke out, which they could have put more pressure on russia. and also since the beginning of the war they, they see the role of the united nations rather marginalized as an philip shelves from a western ukrainian town levine. thank you so much for the time b. now i mentioned earlier that military leaders are meeting in germany today. to focus on frustrating russia invasion of ukraine, vladimir putin has point his strategic nuclear arsenal on high alerts, a warning to the west, not to interfere, and one day russian foreign minister and her gala. ralph said, the danger of a nuclear confrontation is serious and quote, should not be under estimate it. now analysts believe the risk of an all out nuclear war is low, but there are concerns putin might be tempted to use so called tactical nuclear weapons and ukraine. ah, russia testifies a new intercontinental ballistic missile, a strategic weapon, capable of destroying a city on the other side of

today, it is time to transform the system of the united nations. so therefore, i propose to convene a global conference and we can do it here in peaceful kyiv in order to determine how we are going to reform the world security system, how we will rely -- how dow we establish guarantee of recognition of borders and integrity of states and countries, how we will serve the rule of international law. it is now clear that the goals set in san francisco in 1945 for the creation of a global security international organization it has not been achieved. and it is impossible to achieve it without reforms. therefore, we must do everything in our power to pass onto the next generation an effective u.n. with the ability to respond to security challenges and prevent aggression and force aggressors to peace, have the determination and ability to punish if the principles of peace are violated. there can be no more exceptions of privileges. everybody must be equal. all participants of international relations, regardless of economic strength, geographical area and i

yes, uh, and very well, if the united nations is several.pt heavily on the couch during the holidays, gets up and starts doing something another question that she can’t be, but unilateral, it cannot take one position, and the conflict in fact, which erupted in ukraine, was originally a conflict. uh, when the kiev regime attacked its own people, so it needs to, maybe it presents it as a conflict between us and the ukrainians, but between russia and ukraine is actually a conflict. no, the conflict is much wider. this is a conflict of the west today that challenges the entire system of international relations, which directly says that it is possible and necessary to destroy russia. and this is a conflict within ukraine when the ukrainian regime allows itself to destroy its own people, which it considers its own, what happened now in kherson yesterday. yes, when the tower was hit, this should be done by the secretary general of the united nations and do everything to prevent them from being divided into artificial dividing lines that will lead t

, were waiting for a response from the russian team at the united nations. we understand that about 2 thirds of the vote will have to be given. if this is to be passed. a smartphone, smart room, which when you break that is a loosely pot to ne, meet your pupils polonium wobblies to put off to la. yep. hospital, right. situational walk, natural northly on the ground, makoto like walter. repeat the quote or note which one, which the ambassador mention. what we're seeing today's an attempt by the united states to maintain its dominant position and total control in the stringed, a new it's attempt at human rights colonialism in international relations. always. part certain part of member states are already subordinates. those who wish to conduct an independent foreign policy or, or is an attempt to kind of move them to the periphery of international relations. today we're seeing how a, through the efforts of a small group of states are the human rights architecture. as a, as a, there's a, there's a crack that's appeared in that architecture and it was decades in

because these are sanctions adopted by the united nations. as far as the people in those countries that impose the sanctions are concerned. i think what has not been thought through by the western politicians is that what will happen? directions that will happen when the people begin to feel the problems themselves. in such a case, this mass hysteria which we have seen now in some of the western countries is quite quickly. the question and people may disagree, let me get to disagree with their governments about some of the sanctions and you seals or concerning the oil and gas. a european countries have made an exception and they always say a minute for me, it's quite ironic. they officially say in the brightness and foreign minister sanctions not must be structured in such a way, then do they do not affect us negative? it is a rather a promise if not a statement. if you treat yourself as 2 separate entities and either me or the brand of your decision, but your creation should not, you should be somehow isolated from that isn't a, it's certain
