Well a convoy of hundreds of vehicles has made its way through israel is the latest protest by palestinian Israeli Citizens against Violent Crime protesters accuse Israeli Police of neglecting arab towns and villages is how a force that thanks in just a few weeks a growing social concern has turned into a Major Political issue on thursday hundreds of vehicles made their way along major roads from northern israel to deliver a message to leaders in jerusalem palestinian israelis fed up of the violence plaguing their communities a calling for change israels most senior arab politician using regular facebook updates from the root to make clear their demands to know what the organized crime gangs the extortion gangs the black market gangs the weapons these 4 things if the police want they can eliminate them entirely within one or 2 months. Back i think once in west jerusalem or day and other members of the parliament or knesset went to meet israels Public Security minister other protesters gathered nearby to highlight a surge in crime that has seen more than 70 People Killed so far this year every few days palestinian israelis wake up to another story of another fatal crime they say the police a failing to intervene failing to investigate essentially they say their communities have been abandoned to a sense of insecurity of violence and of fear fear that came horrifically true for ice. Earlier this month 3 of her sons were involved in a confrontation over money with another man 2. 00 of them. Were shot and killed the suspected gunman remains at large the mad man look at there is no security anymore my sons were shot at noon the killer didnt consider the children who were going home from school such or das as he to open fire like this what kind of world are we living in we are sitting in our hirams and we are afraid no security where is the law the government. The killings in the northern town of marjah sparked mass protests and a pledge from. Public security minister down to deploy specialist units and hundreds more officers recognizing he said the responsibility of Law Enforcement to tackle the crime wave but many palestinian israelis say that responsibility has been deliberately shirked over many years. We have no trust in the police we call on the police to do their job to collect weapons to the police even have the intention to fight crime these are questions that are raised. 10000000 parliamentarians from the joint list the arab majority Political Parties in the knesset took the rare step of endorsing Benjamin Netanyahu the main opponent after last months general election aiming to get action on crime and other priorities.

Everyone here knows this moment is historic i want to come here because it wasnt me yeah. This story that i want to have for my children my grand children if. I was stressed i dont think it could happen but when it happened i was very happy i hope it continues it shouldnt just be one match that was charged at that after days of women not being allowed in stadiums were all very glad from the bottom of our hearts before we cried watching games on t. V. But today we have tears of happiness its not a very tough match but in my opinion its one of the most important days because for the 1st time officially they lit by many as the crowd outside. Trying to get him grew bigger Police Warnings grew louder. Theres a great deal of excitement here at the stadium this morning at the gates women have already started gathering some have tickets some dont police have said whoever has a ticket will be allowed in but if you dont have a ticket you should move along you should leave the area if people dont leave the area the police have announced they will start arresting people but diehard fans dont scare so easily oh my man now that im a station i mean they know me neither am i dont have a ticket but i have come to hope that officials that im in what entertainment is better than best i think its great look at all these enthusiasm whats wrong with that if we go inside we could i looked at all seats for women but the number of tickets are very low if you look around here you see many women who havent been able to get tickets i hope everyone can go in sight. And honey actually got in officially 3500 seats were made available for female fans who for the 1st time were able to buy their own tickets and watch a live game i in the end iran beat cambodia for 2000000. Thousands of cheering women enough to make any player feel invincible the real action here is happening in the stands game day energy generated almost entirely by one side of the stadium they started cheering an hour before the game cheered all the way through have time and kept cheering at the end not every woman who wanted to was lucky enough to get in because of a cap on tickets despite the 80000 seat stadium being mostly empty many were still waiting outside when the final whistle blew one woman we spoke to said she doesnt even like football but insists on attending games same as men because its an equal rights issue.

Well those are the headlines and the news continues here on aljazeera after the street thank you thanks so much and. We. Believe the 2 state solution do you still believe in the 2 state solution we listen what i said was that pakistan would never start a war until we meet with global news makers the stories the. 0. Year industry getting justice for victims of war crimes we will look at how european prosecutors in germany and other countries are building cases against suspected perpetrators now a boy and we welcome your thoughts on how justice can be achieved share your comments with us live on twitter or in our you tube chat. This is free to be for the kind of director of Human Rights Watch and you are in the street. Could a German National court help achieve justice for victims of syrian war crimes investigators have been attempting to track down and prosecute syrians who are believed to be responsible for torture and other atrocities committed during the countrys a. T. s civil war now although the alleged war crimes occurred outside german borders prosecutors are able to pursue these cases using a principle called universal jurisdiction to arrest former Syrian Military intelligence offices were made earlier this year in germany and the 1st war crimes trial for a high ranking syrian official could happen in 2023rd today well hear from those who are working to hold the Syrian Government accountable with us in berlin alexandria lilly kapur a Legal Advisor at the European Center for constitutional and human rights also in berlin. Syria human rights activist and photo journalist and in paris valerie paul a a legal consultant with Trial International and i guess its good to have you. I want to take you back to a time that was probably the worst time in your life when you were in detention in syria as you were experiencing torture was there any point you felt that you would get justice that people who were doing terrible things to you would actually have to serve time in court. Time in prison go to court was that even a concept that was possible. I dont recall it being a concept that was actually possible. I mean as it evolutionary says someone who went out in demonstrations there was no is that feeling that were going to get into jail for things we do in another because its unjust not because its. Its illegal but just because the dictatorship that we were chasing was actually not ok with anything we were doing so the concept of getting into jail was in my mind during all the demonstrations that i was going out and but the concept of getting out of jail is so hard to be thought about. The accountability they asked me about was not something that i ever thought about when i was in jail. In jail you live for the next thing you live she like youre going to die in the next hour or so it was not a concept that i was thinking of following the Syrian Civil War is still ongoing who knows when it will send the concept to trial walk when all is right now it was very unusual but thats what universal jurisdiction and mabels willingness to do it mabels for teams to rational really think some justice can you explain quite simply how it was so if someone like quran was tortured in syria who now lives in jenin all how would confess intersection work for the people who allegedly tortured him a tortured many of the people. Well you exactly point out one of the things universal jurisdiction do and its not unusual its allowing someone that is not from the country that is going to prosecute. Where it has was victim of crimes that were not committed in the hes in the country youre welcome to return you brought against victim not from the same country. And universal jurisdiction will allow him to get justice in this current state. So just to be clear the jurisdiction of states is based on the territory normally states will prosecute the crimes that are committed in their territory but universal jurisdiction thats where its exceptional if youre going to judge people that are like for example in syria. Victims or syrian the perpetrator in syria and the crime were committed in syria but nonetheless they are prosecuted and in burien thats how it works thats a principle of universal jurisdiction and its a level for really grave crimes crimes that we consider that or crimes against all humanity all mankind such as crimes against humanity genocide daughter. And thats why we consider that so grave that every state should tackle the issue and try to prosecute. And valerie you mentioned grave crimes there and i want to bring up this tweet reminding us all of what some of those crimes were this from the Global Center for the responsibility to protect their right throughout the 8 year war in syria every major principle of International Law has been violated indiscriminate attacks on civilians Sexual Violence a blockage of humanitarian aid deliberate targeting of hospitals and humanitarian workers have been the hallmarks of this war so keeping that in mind is why we see tweets like this jonah says if theres no Accountable Government and sound judicial system in syria then its better to have some kind of justice in german courts rather than nothing at all lily why dramedy though. Germany has a quiet broad universal yours the action Legal Framework as valerie already explains that whats particular about germany is that in comparison to other countries for example the netherlands the suspect needs to be in a territory for investigations even to open and in germany we dont have such a requirement that means our federal Public Prosecutor hes allowed to go ahead with the investigation even if theres no such a suspect present and i think what we need to also highlight here is that not only the trials are important of course its really important that we are hopefully seeing the 1st ever trial addressing International Crimes committed in syria next year but whats also important is that the German Federal prosecutor has the tools to already preserve evidence and they are doing this already since the end of 2011 december 2011 and since then the german prosecutor is collecting photo evidence Video Evidence but most importantly. Testimonies of survivors in germany that are in europe to bring such investigations forward im just thinking about the refugees that are spread out around you that some of them happen in your experience had some experiences to you and some of those refugees or people who were living outside of syria some of as refugees all perpetrators as well tell us what you know about that because i think sometimes we forget the not everybody who leaves the country is something humans affect. You know i think what you bring going to know is something that i also learned that i that i think maybe in germany youd also talking about is used in a way. To talk about like you know to really be ga because they need asylum theyre wanted in their countries. For me as someone who was detained before and it was i was seeing all these people inside who were close in for all the cars in the furniture and like that kind of everyone was face and of course it is traumatizing for me to see them in the street. To even hear about them. It is funny and sad to see them in germany i agree not every not everyone in in in europe is someone who was there because they face some some kind of torture or the need but i think we should emphasize on the idea that the largest number of Syrian Refugees who are in europe have faced something some kind of torture and also we should emphasize on the idea that the Syrian Regime is the biggest and the most. The zend was criminal in syria that caused a lot of these patients hundreds of thousands. But also there are some other flags that have been in syria and other parties who also caused some patients and. For some other but so. Yeah the idea is people are here in europe seeking asylum of course people are amongst those who are closed there and cause for lots of torture for us the main the main way to maybe like be just to also as former. Detainees and for these hundreds of thousands who are living right now and syrian jails and there is to take them to european courts. Here not only one who believes that this is one of the ways to be just to those victims i want to play a video comment from someone named mark hes a student at mcgill law and canon and also consultant and he talks about this being a form of justice have a Listen International justice has done very little for syria yet syria has done a lot for International Justice that includes reinvigorating the idea of universal jurisdiction the best prospects for justice and accountability for atrocities committed in syria today dont exist in an International Court and they dont exist in syria they exist in a country 4000 kilometers away germany thats symbolism shouldnt be lost on us these are amongst the worst crimes that we have witnessed since the nazi regime in germany but we dont have the political will to achieve justice and International Courts and it cant be done in syria at the very very least we can listen to victims collect the evidence that they carry and use it whenever possible and wherever possible to narrow the gap between the supply and demand for justice in syria so that he says at the very least we can be listening to victims talk to us about some of the cases that you know are being gathered right now and investigated and how youre getting the evidence for them. So the organization i work for uses c h r weve been investigating International Crimes committed in syria about all parties of the conflict and i think thats also an important point mentioned by quran and weve done so since about 2012 by the end of 2016 we collaborated and really started working with syrian activists and berlin and syrian lawyers who brought their work and they were organizations from syria to europe and continued to activism continue their political work and together with them we identified survivors who were willing to work with us on those cases so how we investigate what has happened in those quite secret detention facilities in syria is by 1st and foremost of course listening to the stories of form of detainees but also to the stories of the family that started missing their sons their daughters their brothers their fathers their husbands and what also their perspective is d on how they try to find them etc and then of course they have a bunch of important records by the u. N. Commission of inquiry on syria but also by International Human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International but also what i really would like to highlight here is the documentation work that has been done regular loosely since the beginning of the revolution and even before that on the system of torture thats being employed as an oppressive tool by those that government against that was that took the streets of damascus and beyond so the sort of the sources we are working with but a form of evidence that i would also like to speak about what are the see the photos so these are tens of thousands of photos that have been taken by a former military photographer that was operating in military hospitals in syria on behalf of the government and he at some point in time decided to take those photos out of these facilities and together with the team. Analyze them and then eventually take them out of syria and these photos that piqued relieve the consequences of the torture and other crimes committed and these facilities so we have quite good visual evidence off of such crimes and the photos also let us assume certain information to. Command responsibility because also the dead bodies of the detainees essentially show not only what physically this person and these persons have experienced but they also show for example the place where the person was last detained and if we know where the person has been last detained we can research who has been in charge of that very detention facility and if we know who has been in charge we know who is the person who did not only know about these crimes being committed but who and often and often cases if not always also ordered for such crimes to be committed against the detainees that have been arbitrarily to try to tame their value would value you can Say Something a little bit go ahead would you want to add yeah i just wanted to comment on the caroms the experience and he was talking about the fact that some perpetrators some suspected criminals also hiding in the in the rashid g. s and its a this was a. Person who creating a real Football Team if you for universal jurisdiction for full think like germany friends we said until youve been played to to try to fight impunity and to make sure no safe than will be a grunt you call those the war criminals who indeed is the next 5 years or also we see that the universal jurisdiction is growing a lot we thought were organization plighted international we d produced a report on those cases of universal jurisdiction its called a huge p. R. And we tried to to to show that actually this is up winning not only in germany you have no. And you syrians in germany and so many committees about so young and so many but you also have some cases in in the in sweden in french and your thoughts katie about every over all those situations that says a library a wonder you have many cavies around the world and its true that in the last 5 years its been a lot about syrian t. V. Thanks to the through the window of opportunity that they refused you a migration labor because with the perpetrators you have also witnesses you also have. To have victims and i did he was saying good things easy prove the evidence in your case is its very hard you need to imagine like whole like prosecutors all National Forces you to who will not use to work in case these International Case these they are not this more because weve been creating like it had been created in europe civil war crimes unit that are you know when you just had let me just highlight this aceh people because what it means is that if you are a National Prosecutor you may not even have a budget to travel to different places where you need to gather the evidence so you may well to start a new all home country you will have city and not be out to go anywhere how do you exactly get if you call go anywhere nice problematic kind of what weve got to say go ahead. I was about 12. I was most of. My colleagues who were with me in the cool of the. Ok as a syrian i do i do actually believe in the value and the importance of international. Judiciary and International Law no but i tend to not believe in the flexion functionality of it weve seen International Institutions international the un and all the decisions regarding syria failing so what like. What do you guys doing it comes to trying to make syrians who in europe believe in and functionality of shit are you do you get many theories who wants to talk about their cases to try to talk about the names of the people who tortured them back in syria. Maybe you take that one you stop sure i mean before i get to your question kermit i think that one of the gold bits back from the narrative of among the refugees are perpetrators and youre i think thats really true but i think there are 2 approaches the universe here is take one as so many states also politically use utilizing it and saying we only go after the suspects that are on our territory but actually theres another idea that we can use universe years diction for and that its actually globally and for the International Criminal law and International Criminal law despite its faults and its flaws and it being embedded and of course political dynamics and i very much hear you karama and thats also all of the activists and survivors i know there is a loss of hope and increasing frustration because the body you have been established after the 2nd world war the United Nations has tremendously failed syria and the Syrian Community in responding adequately for political reasons. But i think what we should focus in its really using the legal tools that we have and that could work and what now thats University Years and thats why i encourage us to really concentrate our efforts there because really we cannot change what russia thing we cannot change what china is doing or year round who is coming up where we can remain critical of it and of course we need to watch whats happening and why. But i think if if what we can do is really to use what we have around also i think it was a really poignant question was because hes given testimony hes talking to other people who may well want to come forward why would they do that why was this bad ass so why would they come back to counsel things that happen to them if the process doesnt work thats what hes really asking valerie you pick up on the you know the prisoners actually does work not every time and its hard criminal cases in general a really complicated National System but imagine in universal jurisdiction duties where as i was mentioning that the search for evidence of who broken to good school quickly or and we think it may complicate it even like finding witnesses how do you do that when your particular national because if you dont you have to to find witnesses for your case and then once you find some witnesses to make them to make them agree to this if i this is something again most difficult because for security reasons i mean let me just push you because come on was very brief and to the point he wanted to know does it last you say yes it does work yeah it does work we can see could some crazy reason i mean. So now the syrian case is that we are starting to see some results like of course we have arrest warrants you know friends and in germany against high ranking official of the Syrian Regime you had 3 persons that we are arrested 2 in germany one in france and among them at least we know one of them use a high rank and the other one in france we we dont know exactly hes a position but we know that person from a few shows. And we need to keep in mind that other cases in situations that seems really impossible that says the center of the case it seems its the former president of chad you think it impossible to judge him to make him and hes the in daylight and yet it happened why because witnesses engineer was as look all n. G. O. S and new businesses defied very important and its very hard to read she calls about like protecting the witnesses and the victim on the ground and his wife and you are in syria or doing an amazing job and its thanks to them that we can move forward and thanks to the great. You mentioned the victims on the ground and i want to go to you with this because there are people online who say they do have hope that this will work to your question that youre asking this is veronica and she says that for her the important thing is that these trials in germany are victim centered with syrians being able to send a complaint to police or prosecutors and make submissions and more she goes on to say being able to contribute directly to the trials will finally allow syrians to tell their story and to face their torturers in a court of law and she speaks from personal experience as the wife of a survivor of torture and assads regime detentions i know how important it is for my husband to see his torturer finally in prison and not allowed to walk freely in europe or syria while syrians are still facing the psychological scars left by the torture so of course kind of thats only one anecdote there for someone who feels home full but for you can you relate to what shes saying do you have hope of true so you can you know. Do hopeful. The idea is i think it was misunderstood in a way because the fact that i was going to vote is a human rights activist really you should know as people who. Crusade is a matter of just for them to build their stories and keep their limits but its an 8 years evolution that has been go in and some people when told list for me burson really i think i always tell my story me my mom and my brother but its an old little boat. The things that we face so i do believe in the importance of telling the story and keep killing it for everyone i just feel like the functionalist he explained is to normal people who are the same species because were talking about hundreds of thousands. Do i hope do i have hope that things are going to go into some i dont know like into some accountability and justice inside syria this is a very large question when it comes to the fact that everything is happening right now inside syria is based to the side of the regime the expansion of this territory is that the regime is taking over and also like everyone is withdrawing from that and leaving it for iran russia and the regime to do whatever they want so the hope when it comes to us when it comes to the detention of some of those who tortured syrians yes hope for the future of syria is that something is going to have been and its going to be sensitive people are going to go back were not going to stay in europe were not going to stay outside of syria i do have hope but in general the whole international no interNational System. They failed us we were filled during this period of illusion many times many red lights being crossed many many people died because i know when youre an international so are you and as we get those were in damascus where when demonstrations where well were going to wrangle on that skeptical voice but pragmatic thank you for your time thank you to corral to limit our volatile in the house this conversation going down online interesting ill end with this from syria justice and accountability who says a full accounting for war crimes is not possible until serious prepare to grapple with violations but this court is the last refuge for syrian victims thank you guess thank you for watching c m x time.
