Tonia sank in the baltic sea in 1904 and has to support. The m. S. S. Stoniest sank in the baltic sea in the early hours of the morning almost 25 years ago 989 people were on board when it set out from estonia persuaded and only 137 survived. 4 years survivors and the victims families have been fighting for compensation but a french court has now thrown out their case to trial. Its very disappointing i know the judiciary compensations have been pronounced against the victims of find it quite exaggerated to say the least of the 2022 years of proceedings i think the victims could have been through and. It has been a long journey then for the families to get to this point they were seeking damages of 46000000. 00 from a german shipbuilder and prints that to pick asian agency which it said the ship was see where they. Put the court ruled against the familys claims impound there was a lack of intentional polt attributable to either my avast or bureau bear attack.

The Netherlands Supreme Court has ruled that dutch peacekeepers were partly liable for the deaths of 350. 00 muslim refugees they handed over to bosnian serb forces in strip minutes and 995. 00 but its also reduce their level of responsibility angering relatives of the victims paul brennan reports the bereaved relatives of the mothers of srebrenica group of 40 for more than 2 decades for justice emerging from court they were bitterly disappointed.

Part of charlies server need surgery line 1905 a crisis became a massacre thousands of terrified muslim civilians crammed into the u. N. Compound seeking refuge and when Serbian Forces entered the town for 400 dutch un peacekeepers were outgunned and outnumbered women and men were separated an early 8000 men and boys were taken away and murdered the Supreme Court case focused on 350 muslim men who the dutch peacekeepers had handed over to the serbs despite knowing the man would probably be murdered but the judges estimated that the men would have had only a 10 percent chance of survival even if theyd been allowed to stay inside the un compound the outcome is that the state bears very limited responsibility in the case of the mothers of subpoenas. Responsibility of the liability is limited to 10 percent of the damages suffered by the remaining relatives of 350. 00 male refugees who were staying at the compound of dutch about the dutch case is regarded as groundbreaking in establishing that governments can be held liable if the peacekeepers they send on un missions fail to protect civilians during Armed Conflicts but its also been legally controversial on the dutch advocate general had called the liability irrational the claimants believe its the 10 percent decision thats irrational all one day or whatever they admitted 10 percent of liability but that still means that the admitted responsibility of the Defense Ministry of the netherlands and their government are responsible for genocide in srebrenica it doesnt matter one percent 10 percent or 100 percent they are responsible its not clear what level of financial compensation the relatives might finally get that will be decided in a separate court case paul brennan aljazeera.

A world war 2 of our trade is a trade dispute in 2019 japan and south korea remain at loggerheads over the forced labor controversy of more than 70 years ago so why has it come to the fore now and how can it be resolved this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im fully back to a rift is deepening between south korea and japan over what happened during the 2nd world war japan as occupiers of the Korean Peninsula force koreans into work the issue has always stirred up deep emotions but tension has recently escalated a south korean man set himself on fire outside the Japanese Embassy in seoul on friday his death followed japans ban on some exports to south korea imposed after a court ruled that japanese firms should compensate the victims of forced labor japans foreign minister some in the south Korean Ambassador when seoul rejected a proposal for arbitration with a 3rd country. Its very regrettable that an arbitrator or 3rd country arbitration has not been set up in addition i strongly urge the south korean government to take immediate steps to correct this by ablation of International Law that drew a strong response from south korea. It was japan to violated International Laws by committing an humanitarian illegal acts a Supreme Court ruling pointed out that funds also japan has continued to demand a resolution of this issue through operations to settle problems concerning property and claims but we never agreed with the unilateral deadline set by japan switch. So how did we get here well relations between the 2 countries have been fractious for decades since japan occupied the Korean Peninsula between 1911945 but things came to a head last year in october south koreas top Court Ordered Japanese Companies to compensate koreans who were forced to work for japanese occupies during world war 2 japan said the issue had already been settled under a 965 treaty n threatened visa restrictions in tariffs then this month japan restricted exports of 3 chemicals vital to south koreas Electronics Industry citing National Security concerns so far so hasnt taken any Counter Measures saying it would raise a dispute with the World Trade Organization but some koreans are taking the matter into their own hands and boycotting japanese products. Well lets bring in our guest now for todays inside story joining us by skype from tokyo is Tomohiko Taniguchi who is a special advisor to the cabinet of japanese Prime Minister shinzo bear in Hong Kong Robert kept director of the Economist Corporate Network and by skype from stuttgart in germany he wont cool who is a publisher of the korean expose an online news magazine that focuses on contemporary south korea welcome to the program gentlemen thank you so much for being with us mr taniguchi if i could start with you in tokyo japan said its restricting exports of soft korea because of National Security what exactly are japans consequence cerns and what is at the core of this dispute. These 3 materials that you cited are extremely important because they are potentially going to be used for dual purposes one civilian another military given the sensitivity south korea and tokyo have made consultation mechanism at work but one has to say that the hasty fashion that the south korean. Customers use the japanese to provide them with materials ending up with a new reaching of the regime that we are all after i mean south korea and japan. And consists arguably a source of security concerns as you mention misses on who she is a japanese move to restricts exports from south korea not retaliation for the south korean course ruling that allowed access of Japanese Companies to be seas and used to compensate victims of the wartime forced labor is that not retaliation these 2 are completely separate issues because the export control regime is strictly and the japanese government decisions and it is as a result by nature a domestic decision as has been the case with many other exporters exporting some sensitive materials materials to other countries such as south korea ok lets hear from c. One cohen should guard misses on a gucci says the japanese move is a separate issue he has nothing to do with the Court Rulings in south korea would you agree with that what the pens the tensions outside south korea is concerned. Well this is i mean the line that we have heard from the administer russians or. The export restriction has nothing to do wed be developing in south korea or one Japanese Company should do when we got to compensating victims or forced laborers sprinkler new york area as far as the government in seoul is concerned and this far as the public is concerned these 2 are completely related netters and the timing is most extraordinary in fact a measure has taken the government is owed play by surprise and we have not really seen any official measure current from the government yet but of course situation only gets worse by today and unfortunately the damage to the right of relations is going to be quite extraordinary japans position is that the issue of compensation was addressing the 1965 treaty that normalize relations between the 2 country and so japan already gave millions hundreds of millions in aids and knowns to south korea why is it coming to the fore now what is that issue for south korea. We have to accept that there has been a significant change on the great Political Landscape 2 years ago we had a new president elect it wins in and one of his Campaign Promises was actually to revisit the agreement between japan and korea to address the issue called for women it was supposed to be final when the remark was signed in 2050 but it probably opposition to this was quite significant the government quite mean so it has taken a harder line in the issue and they have maintained that they will not see what dave received to be a turn by the minute ministers and who are the more right wing tendencies not just already issue a wartime crimes but also over the issue of dual or a technician on the rocks between korea and japan that have been disputed by the 2 countries for quite some time all right Robert Kaplan talk about the economic implications of this dispute the us china trade war has already resulted in quite a lot of negative shocks for asian trade flows do you think this dispute between the other 2 big economies of the region has the potential to escalate into another trade war. Would certainly has the beginnings of what it is worth pointing out that actually south korea and japan had been suffering from. Impact of the us to a trade war because they are very much integrated in this Global Supply chain which is centered around china or has been and so when the tariffs are put on chinese exports in fact its south korea taiwan and japan very significantly the high tech area that feed into that so theyve already been suffering and now they have this dispute brewing i guess the one Silver Lining to this is the export controls involve a review period so theres like a 90 day window from which the 2 sides might be able to reach some sort of resolution but if there isnt a solution to the impasse im afraid it could make a bad situation much worse japanise said it may escalate measures in august how far can they actually take this especially given that japans exports have been falling because of the us china trade war is his thing. Well thats the interesting thing so currently we look at these very specialized components they represent about one percent of the value of japans exports to south korea so things Like Hydrogen fluoride are very important to south korean ship manufacturers and Panel Manufacturers but they are very important to japans export base but if indeed they start ratcheting up tension not only were their own companies of course suffer as a consequence just as by the way American Companies in consumer suffer under tariffs that are just increasing the cost of inputs from china but theres another factor that needs to be considered in that is south korea might start retaliating and so it you know this is where you get whats known as a tit for tat trade war and if things get more and more heated the ramifications for those 2 economies and the Global Economy could become bigger and bigger missa taniguchi japan says it may escalate the measures when it go as far as removing south korea from its list of preferred trading pardons perhaps the list you are just referred to in some list that listed 29 countries whether its japan has given blanket. Blanket. Permission when it comes to exporting sensitive materials to the importance but south korea has been the only and sole nation in the entire part of asia that japan has maintained this arrangement over the last 15 years European Union has given no such permission out right south to south korea japan has given no such permission to other mens members of asia so south korea is going to return back to where it was 2004 and in addition no ban whatsoever no ban whatsoever either about the 3 sensitive materials. Or the future in the future other materials is going to be imposed upon japans export its going to make the process slow and cumbersome if you like but thats the one. Any country is having with any other country. The economic aspect of this relationship has been the glue supporting political cooperation between south korea and japan until now to what extent koreas domestic politics complicating the situation and do you think there is a certain willingness domestically to improve things with japan. No i would say this is very unlikely the timing of the situation is most unfortunate because korea already was feeling the pressure from the truth were between china and the us and there was a lot of henry meager messick really over what the government could do to improve the Business Climate and then came this will by japan and building on the existing n. T. Chip and the sentiment in korea which is very widespread its put tremendous pressure on the government to not yield to any demand by the ministration. The government has said it is open to diplomatic negotiations or compromise if that and if theyre open to diplomatic negotiations as you say why do they reject 3rd Party Arbitration where there is certainly the danger that if better goes to a 3rd party. Am i not kept it willing that it wants it is also the case with this situation or talk to all or talk issues which south korea effectively controls and japan has increasingly asserted that should be returned to its control and in japanese articles for 3rd Party Administration or at least the case with the International Court of justice to result is what this is an issue that south korea and said not being interested in pursuing our other kept which side is suffering the most and which side will suffer the most states this is not resolved japan a south korea. Well currently it would be south koreas war exposed because its manufacturers are so dependent on those Specialty Materials from japan its worth pointing out japan is not the only source but it is the primary source it has the right quality that these manufacturers rely on and its already integrated in their supply chains however. It could be that japan ends up suffering again if this starts to escalate one thing that for example south korea has its very important japan is tourists its the 2nd largest source of tourists to japan after china which by the way is another country where there is often these political flare ups of a cultural historical nature so in that sense the japanese economy which is increasingly Service Based is in fact exposed and could suffer. As you heard they if japan is if south korea rather is not able to get its resources a resource this way is Technology Industry is not able to talk to japan it opens the door to other supplies like china for instance and this could backfire on japan could it not. Because this is not for south koreas and this is not based on the concerns about south koreas domestic are not because to me it is about the japanese domestic regime for export control if indeed south korean the companies are going to find other sources well that somewhat does south korea and the companies should decide on and thats a totally up to the south Korean Companies but when it comes to the export control regime that the japanese government minister has that is what does this happen hes government is going to look after so what will it take for the japanese government to roll to roll back the export restriction. There the console taishan mechanism is very much a linchpin for these 2 nations to push to continue having some ongoing economic and trade relationships especially about sensitive matters that could be put into do all use but one has to point out that out consultation mechanism has not been. Working the design of which. Urges these took these 2 countries to and so thats something that both come countries have to work on but the ball currently is on the court of the South Koreans ok c one call that a good she says the ball is on the court on the side of south korea what is it going to take for south korea for the tensions to deescalate. Well we hear about consultation and theres a more misuse of materials and all that but ultimately everybody recognizes this issue comes down to our south korean government which address the Key Court Ruling that has essentially exposed Japanese Companies that operate it we korean labor force in the in your period to a potential compensation claims and as far as the government in solar is concerned it cannot really do anything as i said before the Public Opinion is against japan and its against yielding to japanese demands and the kind of consumer boy caught that was referred to by the commentator in hong kong this is a very likely possibility were starting to see a growing movement of consumers which is not led by any particular Interest Group calling for a boycott of travel to japan and also a boycott of Japanese Companies and japanese products and the rhetoric only starts to grow by the day right so youre saying that there are political benefits domestically to go to continue down this road for south korea even though it helps the country anomic. Thats another way to see it South Koreans also believe that mr abbott is playing this partly for his old political gain in the run up to his only election and at the same time in south korea this can be of benefit to the government which was suffering from a falling Approval Ratings it is facing its all Election Campaign next spring and it needed of course to support trouble support for its own party and i am not saying that this is being done intentionally well certainly it does play to the benefit of the Current Administration ok your response missed a ton of virtue before i bring back robert cap into the conversation and many in south korea believe that the project hes Prime Minister shinzo lobby is going down this road for political gain what is your response. Well it may sound as if it is the case but the truth of the matter is that decisions taken by the japanese government of late about the export restriction or the strict implementation of the export control regime have been backed by 7080 percent of the people polled so it is not so much parties on as an issue and i have to say that all of those conflicts and differences of interpretation must be solved in accordance with the basic treaty that the 2 nations forged with each other and there is a clearly written consultation and conflict solving mechanism and South Koreans court and the government have chosen to pay absolutely no attention to the basic treaty and the basic treaty have treaty has been the very foundation legally speaking upon which the bilateral relationship has flourished to the extent that you now see now and one final thing i should say is doubt in the broadest context korean labor could not find any other places to work for during the war time but the companies doubt employed those laborers paid money to those people and those people who failed to get money tearing compensation during all time. Able to get compensation from the south korean government because they saw in such a way to nations chose to go ahead in 1965 but that shocked history is being opened. Again and again get you to respond on this question an issue of compensation a 2nd but i just want to bring robert back into the conversation and talk about the u. S. Robot which says it has no plan to mediate between its 2 our allies should they get involved though i mean would it be not in the u. S. Interest to try and broker some sort of agreement between japan and south korea because this could play well in to chinas hand your analysis is correct but lets not forget what current u. S. Administration were talking about of the presidency of donald trump regardless of what one thinks of the gentleman is not known for its diplomatic finesse i always say granted he has taken a personal interest in a certain Korean Leader and he seems to get along well with scenes ave and the u. S. Has indeed a vital interest in seeing both japan and south korea get along especially these of the china as you mentioned so maybe that will come about currently the u. S. Response has been we want to stay out of it but we want you to solve it and theyre hoping its to chief allies in not only asia when you think about but indeed principally within the world given the tensions that are going on both through china and north korea certainly the u. S. Must be thinking it would be great if this issue could be settled and have one less problem on the global sphere to deal with and how does a dispute benefit china and north korea. Well it benefits both those adversarial powers vs a v the us viewpoint. Because in fact you have won a distraction 2 other issues into you dont have any sort of unified front so north korea actually more than any pressure from the us has faced either some form of could joleen or or attempt to bring a resolution to the issues across the 38th parallel from both seoul and tokyo so those have been 2 principal actors in north koreas position in asia of course the other key actor there is china backing north korea the japanese and Korean South Korean interests have been trying to bring north korea around to a more global way of thinking but there is that and theres also again just the fact that china can thrive in this atmosphere of divisiveness and play cards you can either try to get better relations going to japan or south korea or threaten either to its own ends this divisiveness simply is not in u. S. Interests or in the interests of its allies so in that sense its been a fitting adversaries more than allies i see wont go in should got to have the last word your response to mr taniguchi on the issue of the question of compensation and also what does it come down to as far south korea is concerned is it just an apology that south korea wants. Perhaps indeed although the japanese government was apology has been given we talk about compensation and of course money is very important but the heart of the matter is not money its about sincerity their way that the japanese government has maintained or years and their case that the matters of historical significance of encircled this is what offends the sensibility in south korea and more broadly in china in other parts of asia as well. What a korean probably wants to see is a kind of sincere apology contrition the kind of which you often see from the German Government with regard to its own wartime crimes but this is certainly not whats been seen from japan and thats what really continues to fuel this kind of culture of r. C. Leave it there gentlemen weve run out of time thank you very much for a very interesting discussion to make a ton of gucci see one cool and robert kept thank you for being on inside story and thank you as well for watching you can always watch this program again any time by visiting our website at aljazeera dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com for sasha a.

Aljazeera. And. Hello im david go paul in and let me take you through our main stories an aljazeera iran has seized a British Oil Tanker in the strait of hormuz as tension continues to escalate in the gulf irans revolutionary guard says the ship is being detained for violating maritime regulations u. K. Foreign secretary jeremy hunt condemned the move us unacceptable particle has more from washington. This british tanker and presumably its crew is now in iranian custody as announced on state t. V. A British Oil Tanker called stana imperio was stopped while passing through the strait of hormuz because of failing to observe International Maritime regulations at the request of ports and Navigation Authority of our most gun province the tanker was guided to the coast after being stopped and was handed over to the ports and Navigation Authority iran had 2 tankers one british like the other liberia and we will respond in a way that is considered robust and we are absolutely clear that if the situation is not so quick to be it will be serious consequences iran later announced the liberian tanker had been warned and release news of the tankers being seized in iran broke shortly before u. S. President donald trump left the white house for his new Jersey Country Club his reaction was muted there will be working with the u. K. Theyll have a new Prime Ministers are which is a good thing and well be working with the u. K. But we have no written agreement but i think we have an agreement which is longstanding that was in contrast to his remarks just a few hours earlier where he showed his usual bravado we hope and thats a couldnt do anything for wish they do they will pay a price like nobody sympathetic place. This all comes as the 2 countries dispute in earlier incident in the strait of hormuz where the president insists the m. P. V. Ship the u. S. S.
