My father was killed my mother is very ill. I go out to get money so we can buy medicine for my mother so we can treat her and so that we can buy food for us selves. U. S. President donald trump all for us sanctions against staff of the International Criminal court who are investigating u. S. Service personnel over possible war crimes in afghanistan the United States is not a signatory to the courts charter at and wrote select in retaliation for the inquiry the white house says it will block the assets. Of Court Employees involved impose visa restrictions on them and beth families and to corruption investigation into the court itself is also said to be in the works u. S. Secretary of state mike pump aoe questions the very credibility of the i. C. C. I think cannot subject americans to arrest prosecution in jail the u. S. Is not a party to the rome statute created the i. C. C. And even if a prosecution were to proceed it would make a mockery of due process theres no requirement for unit nobody for a conviction the prosecution can rely on hearsay to obtain a conviction but theres no real guarantee it was speedy trial is dead or facing a jury of ones peers its a panel of judges who arent subject to any American Accountability lets talk about these allegations with kid pal hes a lawyer specializing in atrocity crimes what do you make of the sanctions against i. C. C. Stuff well theyre clearly unprecedented these type of particularly the financial sanctions are these are the types of sanctions that are posed on mass human rights violators or terrorists this is not this would be the 1st time it would ever be applied to judicial professionals trying to hold those exact same type of individuals accountable under the law that. Says the i. C. C. Has no jurisdiction over the u. S. Because the u. S. Did not sign the rome statute that created the i. C. C. What do you say to the. While hes definitely correct that we are not a member of the Court Jurisdiction and i. C. C. Just like a jurisdiction and Domestic Court is not that simple for instance if i were to go to germany and commit a crime i would be subject to german laws in german courts the same apply here with the i. C. C. Afghanistan lithuania poland and scuse me and romania where the torture rendition allegations are there all state parties to the i. C. C. And the allegations are that american and other individuals took part in crimes on those terror territories of those state parties testings of the United States support of many prosecutions by the i. C. C. But the pay is seems to have questioned its very credibility how does that work whats your reaction to that well 1st of all the rome statute as he said is the founding treaty of the court this was something that even though the u. S. Did not vote in favor this from statute they did vote in favor in consensus on all the other documents that the u. S. Fingerprints are all over i. C. C. Is governing statutes and laws and procedures so certainly and also our allies like germany france and other countries so that certainly all these countries have lended its credibility and legitimacy to this and certainly as you just noted the United States has supported almost all the cases before the i. C. C. Including transferrin of suspects so this argument is i would say a straw man argument. Lets listen in to another statement by the u. S. Secretary of states never forget the american commitment to real justice and accountability from the north and tokyo trials after world war 2 to the more recent yugoslavian rwanda tribunal you know since has always thought hold good and punish evil under International Law we will continue to do so. When our own people do wrong we lawfully punish those individuals as rare as they are who tarnish the reputation of our great us military and our Intelligence Services we hold our own accountable better than i see has done for the worst perpetrators of mass criminal atrocities welcome lets pick up on that is. A right to suggest that the us prosecute its own war criminals and can do it better than the i. C. C. Have a. Well that is what the from statute is build on its built on something called the principle of complementarity which makes the i. C. C. A court of last resort it only gets involved in a country in allegations in a country if the Domestic Courts are unaware laying around able in this example you noted states courts are certainly able to do this its a political will issue so today extent that pail makes that statement the i. C. C. Would agree its just a fact that the United States has not helped investigate it in genuine investigations and genuine prosecutions not only people at the lower levels but the architects of the allegations. 3 years ago for 3 years ago i. C. C. Prosecutor said that they want to look into alleged war crimes by americans in places like afghanistan what do you think now is behind this apparently very delayed reaction by the trump ministration. Well theres certainly a procedural argument to be made i dont want to warrant your viewers with the details but this did go through the process it actually did find in favor of not going for the investigation that was appealed and to the peel chamber and thats when the prosecution won that appeal so there is a procedural argument however it is hard to not speculate and there is some evidence to it that this is a distraction from domestic events and also a way to sensually pander i would say to the trump base which is trumping the trump ministration which are very much. You know been leveling complaints against International Organizations most recently against the World Health Organization and now the i. C. C. On a more down to earth level one faith is this decision by the Trump Administration going to have on the work of the i. C. C. Well the i. C. C. Even before these sanctions was didnt really have a reasonable expectation to be granted access to u. S. Territory or to be access to u. S. Officials that they can interview so in that regard the sanctions arent going to. Change anything that much of course financial sanctions on the court staff and their families would be a big deterrence and however the biggest limitation that these sanctions have is on actually people that dont work at the court for instance lawyers who represent victims more n. G. O. S nongovernmental organizations that work on behalf of victims and may have evidence that is relevant to these cases these sanctions and the trump him as ministration is now leveled can be directed against these individuals and that could have quite a chill effect attorney kip hale thank you very much for this analysis thank you. As the coronavirus pandemic pummels the Global Economy the u. N. Wants warns that millions of children at increased risk of being pushed into underage labor in iraq years of war have already forced many families to make hard choices to make ends meet for some that has meant putting their kids to work as we report from iraqs kurdistan region a big load for a little person Mohammad Hamid has to cart heavy fruits and vegetables around air bills market he earns a few euros a day working from 7 in the morning till 7 in the evening 6 days a week hes 12 years old. Its hard work but im used to it i want to help my family so we can live. Child labor is a part of daily life in kurdistan the latest figures say about 2000 miners work in the capital and be alone and that number is going up schools are closed because of the Coronavirus Crisis many families are desperate so they send their children to work. Mohammed come out works full time in a garage also 6 days a week. Hes 13. He stopped going to school 2 years ago his father has a heart condition and he sees it as his duty to help his family through hard times. I dont like working in this area its exhausting. And i do. I have to help my father because hes old and. My brothers and i come here to help support him i didnt want to leave school id like to go back and eventually go to university. But doesnt give us any how. Childrens aid organizations say thats no reason to take a child out of school. Child labor is widespread in iraq and all over the middle east its considered necessary for children to work. But thats wrong its illegal to exploit children for profit or other purposes. That may be but the reality here is that children are working while the authorities turn a blind eye and parents simply feel they have no other way to make ends meet. Joining us now from new york city for more on this is canarios williams is the associate director of the Child Protection unit at unicef weve just seen this report from iraq but this is of course a global issue earlier today that in africa alone 72000000 children are actually working whats behind these high numbers of child labor. Well weve made some progress actually but still there is a lot but there needs to be done so did cover t. V. Is one of the drivers right i mean its economic factors families have to make difficult choices of how to sustain the family. Is clearly as you said youve seen some progress where do you see progress and compared to when. So i mean from 2000. 2000 to now we have seen nearly on great 1000000 children taken out of the walk ups so tremendous progress has been made in the last 20 years and what were worried about its their turn surely the cove it responses. Would the trips the progress that we have made with all these these children taking ive been to have been taken out of labor how did you achieve that how was that achieved. Well actually we achieved it you know weed out city if you ask me d we have a 5 point action which we use to achieve that what was social protection ensuring that actually the families had a social safety net using cash transfers social assistant to addressed issues of poverty to address issues of claim Financial Stress and economic straits and the from the 2nd one was the Poverty Alleviation providing jobs and livelihood especially areas you know where they say in one economic one we delete yes of job growth a corking Handsome Group of people who suffer from economics one would believe that would have to make their hard choices of putting the achievement but then we also have a good question keeping children in school we have enough evidence now to show that if a charity says cool and the child is able to complete school their most likely not to be engaged in full time work then we have the legislation the legislation and then the legal enforcement of this legislation is important and trying only actually one of the things we have been saying this has to be great you cannot do this in piecemeal it has to be integrated and wrapped around which out and its partly you said that youre concerned that the coronavirus pandemic is making things worse. So what we have seen with the. Pandemic and the response to the pandemic is fun it is provoking unemployment it is proof who killed. A lot of people have lost their jobs which is resulting in poverty a lot of people have lost their livelihood especially those innings foremost and they both have access to credit and they are going into debt and so in debts that go there is a likelihood that the children could be command beyond their debt levels and. Very few social protection schemes cept hurry ties to primaries with children and you also have an impact on migration we need to insist going down canadians williams thank you very much thank you very much for having me. Latin america has become a coronavirus hotspot with a number of known infections now its saving 1500000 argentina is among the countries implementing strict measures to prevent the virus from spreading but that could be bad news for women that Domestic Violence was a serious problem even before the pandemic and its fear the danger has increased due to curfews and quarantines.

They are usually i will visit them in jail until city is past i have to make sure they serve their sentence i really hate being here you. But i cant believe that if you need to read muslim what it has daughter was killed in 2015 by her lover thats why masella is now drawing attention to femicide during this current crisis. In a family and i think at the moment some women experience violence 24 hours a day. But this isolation is exactly what perpetrators want. Me until it was made mandatory by the state the feel and know that it happened because were going to feel any government does is already thats going to. Usually muscle as one of the demonstrators purple shoes of one of the protests but they wont be making an appearance this town. Thats it yeah. Now during the crisis for the 1st time theres a whatsapp imagines the number for women. Because they usually cant speak freely on the phone. But now using whatsapp they can secretly make an emergency call from the bathroom when you know if i mean it is that instead of a large scale demonstration theres no live stream of the protest on the internet it is crucial to send a signal of protest and against the fact that so many perpetrators go unpunished. The government has had as much of a quarantine plan for the tightly packed slums as it did for the issue of womens violence during this curfew.

Back here in germany the desire for a 4 Legged Friend has grown during the coronavirus pandemic people working at home on some company the surge in demand has boosted the business of illegal dog breeders Animal Welfare workers were being sent to shelters so far the huge demand for poppies has outstripped what the illegal trade can handle thats why dogs like this one have been abused as breeding machines once they can no longer go on or if they get sick they end up in a shelter but during the pandemic german breeders have been completely overwhelmed by the growing demand never before have there been so few residents and berlins Animal Shelter caregivers can now spend more time with them in peace the shelter is closed and is only reachable by phone. We found more new homes this year than we did by this time last year. Lots more people realised they could work from home or their bosses allowed them to go at it may stay that way so people with office jobs have had a rethink and now have more time for a dog. For all. But shelter staff concern over the sudden love of animals. Theyre also more internet searches on classified ad portals thats true we urgently hope that they dont end up back in the shelter afterwards and that the huge flood of puppies doesnt end up back there and just how long this newfound love of pets will last might not be known until after the pandemic.
