revolution endorsed the united nations as.it is, which i was very glad to see them do that they said they didn't want it turned a world government. i'm very glad don't because i don't either. you cannot have of any kind except on the basis of a commonly held sense of justice. the reason we're one country today is the idea of justice is the same from one end of this country to the other, and the idea of man's relationship. the state is the same as long as you have the international communist movement. you will never have the same sense justice, the same sense of right and wrong. all the world. so what you would get would not be government. it would be turning. if there's one thing worse than a national, it'll be an international tyranny. the united nations should not be converted into a world. it is not a sovereignty. it cannot draft a single soldier. it cannot impose a single tax. it cannot pass a law. it is a useful to prevent war. that's all is. is there any agitation among countries up there about converting it into a no. n

in new york box to don leads the center for united nation studies at the university of birmingham. he says the un is under pressure to respond to is really a tax on humanitarian and medical workers. they've been numerous attacks on hospitals . they've been numerous attacks on humanitarian workers, united nations personnel, gymnast, and of course you'll janice. we know what's happening. i think the well is now looking on. i'm asking what action is going to be taken because we've seen repeatedly these crimes against humanity been claimed. these are these up make it doing kind of crimes against humanity. we're not seeing any action. i think people expect really that the united nations secretary general needs to be taking a much stronger active stops. may think that he should actually be in the middle east. and also be thinking that very, very clearly about putting together a coalition of the willing responsibility to protect civilians is also something that the united nations needs to remember as of to separate. it's off, the rwanda at these genocides were never supposed to happen aga

and then the 2nd world war, even more destructive, which gave rise to the united nations, which as we sites has been a partial success. that's got some achievements, it's always been flawed. i think that my generation and like those born lights, i have not had that experience of wool which told a world in 1945. you know what? i have a divides us. we mustn't go through this again. now, garza what is happening and gaza is horrible. and i also want to draw attention to what is happening on the west bank, which in some time smaller way is also um, extremely serious and inhumane in crew. but that is a, i don't want to sound dismissive in this, but that is a localized, horrendous tragedy. and i don't think that that will have that kind of a generative effect for the, for the international system. and for political leaders all around the world in the way that the 2nd world war did. so i'm a little bit skeptical about the chances that a new order will be created quickly. i think we probably thought uncomfortably to go through some more erosion before we get the i hope i'm not just very quickl

the security council, which is the parts of the united nations that have failed. because that is this idea that the big countries, the permanent members, for example, all the security council can do what they wish. but they try and impose that will on smaller countries that are looking at them and just saying, well actually you don't do so we can do we want. well, i mean, as you know, as you're suggesting, we have to take a to look at this in terms of a historical perspective. so if you think of the past 70 is also 80, is since the end of the, the 2nd world war and compare that to the, into war period between the 1st and 2nd of all was what you see is that there was an effort after the 1st world war to create a world order which essentially collapsed within about 12 or 13 years. right? so then, a revised effort was made with a lot of the same principles, but different operating methods. and the idea of the security council, the permanent members at fountains, insistence upon the members for the have a veto of security council resolutions. and that has created some

well, let united nations security council emergency amazing. we mentioned this still on going in the u. n. high commission of the human weiss spoke. a tuck has called for an investigation and to as well as attacks on hospitals, intentionally tire acting attacks against hospitals, and places where the sick and wounded are treated, provided they are not. military objectives is a war crime. under certain circumstances, the deliberate destruction of healthcare facilities may amount to a form of collective punishment, which would also constitute what crime is committed as part of the widespread or systematic a tech on the civilian population. such ex, males, amounts to crimes against humanity. i'm outside of them was a speech right to a former human sex, your general banking moon and now leads the center of the united nations studies of the university of finding him. and he joins us from her foot in the u. k. but he, thanks for being with us. what do you make of vol cuz speech, those strong message that israel has not provide sufficient evidence to

the united nations security council has abandoned its commitment to peace. if you are a powerful nation with a permanent member and you have the right to veto, you can do almost anything. the security council will not condemn you. i think the united states has sent armed troops to about 30 countries to fight under the approval of the united nations since the second world war. other countries can do the same thing, if they are powerful enough. i wrote an op-ed for the "new york times" two years ago that showed the u.s. is now violating 10 of the 30 paragraphs in the universal declaration of human rights. a lot of those related to the discrimination against women, supposed to be equal, not just blacks being equal to whites and so forth. i think we have a long way to go still. we need to reassess the basic purpose of the united nations to be about peace, not conflict to resolve issues, and recommit ourselves to the basic principles of human rights. and i would urge all of you to just google universal declaration of human rights. if you have a couple of minutes,

the united nations held an emergency meeting at the security council in response to israel's attacks on hospitals. the w h o is representative for the occupied palestinian territories as both hospitals need to be protected individual till the situation continues to deter it. the hospital reportedly received in order to evacuate and to provide the list name and details of all those. so aside the urge to the hospital and is remain patients or dangerous and active conflicts all be protective. all are we just the last remaining minimal functional of coping or gaza has been without many essential medicines for more than 85 days. we have just received reports as all out of true as being order to fully evacuate with this. the last health lifeline in north garza is at risk of being saved. our honeymoon fluid has more from dated by law in central garza, the hey, zach. listen. orders extended to uh, the last remaining a small health facility that's allowed the hospital that has a charge part of a charge of the past few weeks. then since the beginning of the grant, offensive, and as of right in

states has sent armed troops to about 30 countries to fight under the approval of the united nations since the second world war. other countries can do the same thing if they are powerful enough. i wrote a piece for the new york times two years ago that shows the united states is now violating at least 10 of the 30 paragraphs in the universal declaration of human rights. a lot of those relate to the discrimination against women. they are supposed to be equal. it is not just blacks being equal to whites and so forth. i think that we have a long way to go still. we need to reassess the basic progress -- purpose of the united nations to be for peace, not conflict to resolve issues. we need to recommit ourselves to the basic principles of human rights. i am going to ask all of you to call up on google for the universal declaration of human rights. you can read it in 30 minutes. 30 paragraphs on human rights. it is easily violated, and easily justified. after 9/11 the united states clamped down and took away civil rights. they took some of mine. that's true. as far as information. we have

the united nations global vehicle compact transforms the shared vision into action. adopted by leaders at the summit of the future -- it commits to establishing an independent international scientific panel on ai and and initiating a glob conversation at the table and building ai capabilities where they are needed most ensuring developing countries receive our full support. the world of ai's have and have notes web a world of perpetual instability. we must never allow ai to stand for advancing inequality. only by preventing the emergence of the spheres can we build a world where technology serves all humanity. >> mr. president, excellencies, our next steps will be crucial and the choices we make now will define our future. every moment of delay in establishing international guardrails increases the risk for us all. i urge member states to move swiftly in establishing the international scientific panel ol of artificial intelligence and establishing the dialogue within ai governance within the united nations. i also reiterate my call for banning lethal autonomous weapo

she's there to promote united nations week. but elena's life had so many dimensions that her savvy use of the brand new medium of television has been previously overlooked. the early days of television were profoundly influential on popular culture and early use of tv to advance the causes of peace in the rights of women and the politically marginalized was groundbreaking. however, she also courted relationships with the film industry as early as 1932, writing for fan magazines like photoplay and modern screen son james enlisted her to in the prolog for 1940 anti-nazi film pastor hall, riling the ire of isolationists in the senate on propaganda in motion pictures and radio. but she would also disappoint activists when choosing to cross a picket line protesting segregated cinemas in washington, dc to attend a fundraiser screening of abe lincoln in illinois. eleanor contribute to civil defense films during the war and became a staple joke in hollywood comedies. she and her opinions on issues like censorship and the motion picture

that is only getting worse phase the united nations. i knew you in battery for says simon conditions. aust, spreading nearly 25000000 people half the population are facing acute food shortages. millions have been forced to move or flee the country, the world's largest displacement of people by conflict today and its last 10 days in office. the binding administration has announced the rapids support forces which has been fighting the sudanese army since april 2023 has carried out genocide. so how is the situation worse me? why i so many more people now in danger and what's being done to end the conflict will talk to our guest shortly. but 1st, this from victoria gave to me and warning her report contains images view as might find distressing. after nearly 2 years of slicing in sudan, the scale of human suffering is catastrophic researches from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine estimate. more than 61000 people have been killed. 26000 as a direct result of the violence. the rest from starvation and disease the situation is

we made diplomatic protests to the cambodian government through the united nations. very possible diplomatic means was utilized. but at the same time i had a responsibility, so did the national security console, to meet the problem at hand. and we handled it responsibly. and i i think captain miller's testimony to that effect is best evidence. >> governor carter. >> well, i'm reluctant to comment on the recent report. i haven't read it. i think the american people have only one requirement, that the facts about mayaguez be given to them accurately and completely. mr. ford has been there for 18 months. he had the facts released today. immunity after the mayaguez incident. i understand the report today is accurate. mr. ford has said i believe that it was i could come at the widest end of attempt to block the issue of the report. i don't know if that's exactly accurate or not. i understand that both the secretary of the department of state and the defense department have approved the accuracy of today's report, , yesterday support and also the national security agency. i

the united nations humanitarian air service crewmember was also injured when the air force was hit. a high-level delegation also at the airport when it was tracked. the delegation has just concluded discussions on the humanitarian situation in yemen and the release of -- the united nations continues to call for the immediate and unconditional release of all personnel pertained by the houthis. i read rate the secretary -- i reiterate the secretary-general's grave concern and i also echo that international law must be respected by all parties. we must protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. humanitarian workers must be protected at all times. madame president, we condemn attacks claimed by the houthis including in the arabian sea on december 27. u.s. forces targeted systems in december, reportedly in response to the houthis maritime attacks. there are been unconfirmed reports of airstrikes on when a seventh, 28, and 29 december in different parts of yemen. we read rate that attacks originate -- we reiterate that attacks must stop. security council resolution 2722 must be fully

but the united nations again, has put a lot for, you know, the large part. we even know of them a has multiple leaned into the playstation agenda as much as it should have, but the blame doesn't stuff that, you know, i totally agree with the cache of the african union has been completely to this in many ways. it has also listed in the way of its own action, primarily by sort of capitulates. and if you will, to the political interest all for example, regional acts of especially in the gulf. okay, let's allow adam. i jang, the african union, special envoy on the prevention of genocide, to respond to that. and i don't know as well. uh, it is very unfortunate that the opposite. the union has been failing the people of sedan when it comes to protecting the civilians. and that he may know that at the time i got even suggested that for us to be deployed. but we, oh no. that's uh when we speak about the rights of the asking union the fee, you know, it's not very clear where to it. i have to uh receive the go ahead, the green light from the 6 the got the button not b

we made diplomatic protests to the cambodian government through the united nations. every possible diplomatic means was utilized. but at the same time, i had a responsibility, and so did the national security council, to meet the problem at hand. and we handled it responsibly and i think captain miller's testimony to that effect is the best evidence. ms. frederick: governor carter. mr. carter: well, i'm reluctant to comment on the recent report. i haven't read it. i think the american people have only one requirement, that the facts about mayaguez be given to them accurately and completely. mr. ford has been there for 18 months. he had the facts that were released today immediately after the mayaguez incident. i understand that the report today is accurate. mr. ford has said, i believe, that it was accurate, and that the white house made no attempt to block the issuing of that report. i don't know if that's exactly accurate or not. i understand that both the the department of state and the defense department have approved the accuracy of today's report, or yesterday's

there is only getting worse phase the united nations. i knew you in battery for says simon conditions. aust, spreading nearly 25000000 people half the population are facing acute food shortages. millions have been forced to move or flee the country, the world's largest displacement of people by conflict today and its last 10 days in office. the binding administration has announced the rapids support forces which has been fighting the sudanese army since april 2023 has carried out genocide. so how is the situation worse me? why i so many more people now in danger and what's being done to end the conflict will talk to our guest shortly. but 1st, this from victoria gave to me and warning her report contains images view as might find distressing. after nearly 2 years of fighting in sudan, the scale of human suffering is catastrophic researches from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine estimate more than 61000 people have been killed. 26000 as a direct result of the violence. the rest from starvation and disease the situation is

or will the united nations on the as why the government are in disagreement? i have a lot for replaced the un agency for palestinian refugees as honora, when a bond on his operations comes into effect later this month. because he's a lifeline to millions of palestinians, especially now in garza and the occupied west bank. you in chief antonia terraces wound his way. the officials saying if honora is forced to cease it's activity, is in the occupied palestinian territories including east jerusalem, israel would be left to ensure that the range of services under assistance which the agency has been providing all still provided as well. and you'll see michael, but he's an associate fellow and i missed a task from house. that's a process. think time can you joins us now from london. many thanks for joining us . once again, you'll see. so in just a few weeks, time is roll fine on on. well, we'll come into effect. first of all, can you just give us an idea on the impact that is going to have on dollars where we're seeing people solving on balance palestinian babies.

i don't think the united nations has been socially involved in these discussions. and we've had bitter experience as you say, of these many months of promises made promises not kept. and the gangster is, is, as i think i've said before, a natural consequence of the lack of a lack of supply. it's the lack of access to food and drink. it comes the games a, nobody's policing up the post and the police are being pushed away. and so who is going to actually contain uncontrolled, the balance is endemic. now, the roads are still mind in many places. and the other, the other aspects is fantastic. you can go home. that's great at last you of course, will be monitored for weapons. but you can begin to think about the future. my view is that these issues about humanitarian aid are also linked to the credit, the import just you're giving the people it goes hope has been destroyed, the hope kills people. the lack of it as you know. and i think that there will be a problem of the possibility of israel will go back to, well, never mind it's withdrawals. they've retained the right

we know that the united nations has the funding for us that these present in congo even as we speak. so there has been on attempt at the mediation by the u. n. it is important to note that the democratic republic of congo is a member of 3 regional organizations, the solid, soft within the region. it is a member. it is also a member of this central africa nation and has been admitted into the east african community. that is why all these attempts at the mediation, i've always been taking place, but somehow this has not worked as well. and we now have a fuss, which is the m $23.00. and they have been up to this. and so, which have been documented even by the united nation, that the m 23 get some logistical support from the land. but the one day is government has always been clear that these individuals are fighting for the territory. they may share something with us in terms of ethnic origin, but the companies they may call themselves by normal land get but the vehicle with ease. and i think the boss is not to be disputed. and the question then is how to use all of this. and 2 things o

and yet the united nation says that all of this is avoidable. speaking in new york for you and the secretary general spokesman said israel's refusal to allow food assistance into the strip is lessening the hunger strike stuff. frontage arch says enough food to feed the entire population is stranded at the border, blocked from entry, argumentative, cherry and colleagues. are telling us that the hunger crisis across the gaza strip continues to worse and it made critical supply shortages. severe access restrictions and violence arm looting in central and southern gaza also reports that as of sunday, our humanitarian partners had exhausted all supplies of their warehouses at a time when he is really, authorities continued to deny most requests to bring food assistance from error as west crossing to areas south of wadi garza meanwhile about a $120000.00 metric tons of food assistance. enough to provide rations for the entire population for more than 3 months, remain stranded outside of gaza to northern garza has been on the siege for more than 3 mont
