A prestigious European Community for help Court Acceptance of ongoing crimes. I. Welcome. Glad you could join us un human rights chief has condemned for inaction in Holding People accountable for crimes against around your muslim and other minorities speaking at the Human Rights Council on monday she also said that recent civilian casualties in myanmar may constitute war crimes. From the record. Breaking the communities are increasingly affected by the Armed Conflict and states including through disappearances and its the racial killings of civilians massive civilian displacement arbitrary arrests torture in their custody under the structure of civilian property civilian casualties have often been increasing in some cases they appear to have been targeted or attacked indiscriminately makers to cute further war crimes or even crimes against humanity. These crimes that prompted more than 700000 to flee to overcrowded refugee camps in neighboring bangladesh 3 years back but faced with extremely poor Living Conditions and a lack of opportunities. Many have attempted to make dangerous sea crossings to countries like malaysia and indonesia just last week nearly 300 finally able to reach learned in our chief province in indonesia after spending some 200 days at sea this is the story of what theyre barely lived through. This was the night their ordeal ended but theres no joy on the faces of these women men and children only fatigue and despondency. Their journey started in coxs bizarre the Worlds Largest refugee camp in bangladesh people smugglers had promised them a better life in malaysia and to take them there safely. But what followed was more than 6 months cramped into a small wooden boat adrift in the open sea with little food and water. The broker took our money and kept us waiting for 7 months then he bought a small boat and we started sailing. Then they abandoned us we floated for several months until we reached this area. Days after coming ashore in sumatra the migrants are still exhausted. About at least alive. The United NationsMigration Agency says more than 30 people died during the journey and one woman the day after. We watched people die several people. I thought i would die too. And we kept praying to allah. That this invite is a safe at a shelter today theyve been given food and drink and access to much needed medical care the mother of the question now is whether theyll be able to remain in indonesia and become gets more. For more lets bring in Phil Robertson hes deputy assured director of Human Rights Watch and he joins me now from bangkok phillip welcome how is it possible that 300 range of refugees remain at sea for more than 200. 00 days at a time that their plight is the subject of international concern. Well it is extraordinary and this group of rohingya on that boat were pushed off by thailand and by later they were basically sent back out to sea rather than allowed to land and be brought ashore and provided protection so akshay became the final place that they could actually try to get ashore and fortunately the local authorities agreed to allow them come ashore and taking care of them what does that say about the International Response to the crisis and the atrocities the rohingya having to face. Well what it shows is the frontline states particularly in Southeast Asia are essentially trying to maintain its not their problem theyre trying to push it off on each other and unfortunately what were also seeing is a lack of political will within the region to support the kind of action thats needed to hold more accountable the high commissioner for human rights has raised just yesterday a number of very very serious points about the continued rights abuses in Rakhine State the lack of. Possibility of war refugees to return to that situation even the government of myanmar racing to villages from the maps and the response of the countries in the region is to simply shrug and push these boats off and i just think about the myanmar government has pressured about the russian version or was talking about yesterday betting that in mind is a korean list to expect that the myanmar government will ever take any action against the army well we expect that ultimately the myanmar government will be compelled to act through the International Criminal court in the International Court of justice i think that ultimately these International Accountability mechanisms are the thing thats going to compel Political Action by the myanmar government the open question of course is whether myanmar government can exercise its will over the military or whether this military will continue to be a rogue element that does whatever it wants to the people of myanmar when its operating in the field and that is something that the International Community has to respond to there has to be real serious action at the u. N. Security council to take the next steps to hold that myanmar marmie accountable relieve it there for the time being but thank you so much for joining us from robertson from Human Rights Watch. And questions of accountability at all to being raised of me and miles de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi the human rights icon has been criticised most recently by the European Parliament for not speaking up on the rohingya issue it has now suspended from the south side of fries community. For a long deferred tribute finally taking place on sun suchi at the European Parliament in 2013 collecting her human rights prize 23 years after shed won it that honor has now been hollowed out. Citing lack of actions and acceptance of ongoing crimes the European Parliament has suspended suchi from the sucker off prize community effectively banishing her from the circle of honorees how did it come to this fall from grace for decades on sun suchi was regarded as the voice of peaceful resistance to myanmars military dictatorship she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 her advocacy of democratic reform earned her a total of 15 years under house arrest these images show her emergence from one such confinement in 1995. And the hopes she embodied seem to have come true when her party the n l d won a landslide victory in elections in 2015 she was barred from running for president but a position created for her made her the de facto head of government. The following year her partys delegates took their seats in myanmars parliament. Then the halo slipped. In late 2016 myanmars army and police launched a crackdown on the rohingya people an ethnic and religious minority in the countrys north east saying they were fighting militants troops ista magically destroyed rohingya villages and allegedly conducted mass executions and rapes hundreds of thousands of rohingya fled to neighboring bangladesh where most remain in refugee camps today. Suchi has not so much as criticized this campaign although it bears the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing at the International Court of justice last year she defended the same military that once persecuted her she questions rohingya accounts of atrocities and refuses to even speak their name suit shes record since taking office has lost her many of the honors ones keep done or now europe has turned its back on her to the ground so how did it come to this and what do you want to every house on this from you dont know isha an old salt of the book the daughter of a political biography off. Road you on what you ought to do quick do on a aung san suu. So i dont think so it was too quick we have to think back it was 990 when sons of she was awarded with the sakharov prize of the European Parliament and what has happened before so 19882 years ago there was a student uprising in myanmar and she became like the most important person bringing together all of the different political fractions and groups like the students the teachers and she became like the head or the leading figure of this movement that military government took over and. Squashed the protests and then there were have been elections one year later on and to the surprise of the military government also in sochi and her party won that election by a landslide and the military government did not hand over power they rejected the transfer of power and put the under house arrest so this is the situation where we when she got the prize and i think she got the prize not for what you achieved but it was more like a bet on the future but the west made this fairy tale around here and she became really almost superhuman human rights i couldnt write so but you know thats not the sort of aftershock talking about betting on the future and making her a fairy tale. Do you think that your a bet on her ahead of time and has that bred paired off. So in 2011 when the country opened up and when she come to came to power and she became state council after more or less free and fair elections. She was not able to deliver so i think she has been compared to monday lobby for Nelson Mandela from south africa but he was not only a good opposition politician but he became a very powerful politician delivering a lot of progress and development to south africa its not the same with me with Aung San Suu Kyi in myanmar she has had problems delivering and keeping up to the high expectations. This is in regards to the Peace Process in the country to end the civil war which rages since the 2nd world war more or less this has been regarding Economic Development and last but not least because of the crisis which started in 2016 and in 2017 pushed more than 700000. So i think she was not able to deliver and she did not keep up to this expectations broader than ever because im tired so much for your insights. Thats a phenomena so youre back here tomorrow the same time. Literature invites us to see people in particular. I like to see some time. On youtube. About is he when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room as well and. It was hard i was fit. I even got white hair. Then jim language. Based gets me think about it uniquely to entrap if. You want to know their story lines are fighting and reliable information for migrants. Welcome to arts and culture the roofs are alive with the sound of alpine forms. A new socially distanced musical work fills an entire City District that concert coming up and. Channeling janis joplin a preview of the way this dance works also socially distanced by choreographer. For 1st a picture they say is worth a 1000 words but how many of those words our lives one of germanys most successful photo artists tomas holds reconfigures photos he finds in order to reveal manipulation and a new exhibition hall turns its focus to some of the biggest lies of the 20th century propaganda from chairman maos china. Thomas wolfs new exhibition ted lucian wa at the k. 20 museum in descent off for inspiration both went back to propaganda photos from 1950 s. China. Im always interested in photography that knowing these and these truly to me thats what they were designed to do who. Took the pictures from old magazines copied them and blew them up photos of utopia that never existed but for both still relevant today puts the i hope these pictures are a commentary on our times as well on fake news for the images of. Reality is true true more stuff. To come in of course reproductions clearly see the grid from the offset printer used to make the original images and hes amplified the pixelation of his own digital copy that by emphasizing how the camera lines. In his press plus plus series also part of the exhibit cliff takes press photos and prints the info from the back of the photo on the front. In doing so he creates a montage is that comment on how every image we see has been manipulated. From who we are incredibly influenced by images and these images can be used to manipulate us for sometimes the wrong images for with the wrong text that we believe strongly in the visual image but we should be very very careful of more guns going for 6 for an. Exhibition runs through. February 7th 2021 i think a 20 museum and a cent off. My colleague Scott Roxburgh is here with me a real unmanipulated form i think as far as you know i was you know about thomas. Thomas wolfe as part of whats called the Dusseldorf School now for people who dont know what the Dusseldorf School is what is that why is it so important yet the do store school was set up its from the the 1980 s. It was at the do still of art academy and it was group of students. Bowling the professors band and back who were photography professors and what they were doing at the time is they were going against the sort of experimental photography at the time and develop a real minimalist style that shot a lot of industrial sites and they would often pick a single theme like say water towers and then they would shoot endless photos almost identically shot in identical manner and this style had a huge influence i mean the there were dozens of really world famous photographer came out of this under the hall for Thomas Thomas ruth and on and on and on and when i think unites them theyve all done different types of work but i think what unites them is they all look at photos as made objects out so a photo isnt something you capture you cannot capture in reality its something you deliberately construct you deliberately make it like look at piece of art and the influence of the schools been tremendous i mean some people say its as if its the most influential art movement of germany. And that it really helped elevate photography to be respected at the level of art you know akin to painting ok im talking about photography the image manipulation coming back to thomas wolfe we are living in an era of image manipulation and everywhere we look implications are of course huge do you think of. Our work can help us understand i think so because i mean he really you know so so the sausage is made like he shows exactly how he manipulates his. Photos and i think that helps understanding that the photos are being manipulated all the time i mean in this new exhibit he does have some images where he takes old photos and doesnt really see original image he shows us the negative of it so that the the colors are reversed you cant quite see whats happening with what people are and if you question what im actually seeing here whats real whats not but also i mean his his colleague. Elsewhere the disco school he does something a bit different but also in the same vein of this shot which is ryan to his most famous photo it looks like an ordinary landscape photo but the originally there was a big factory there that he moved just took it out he just took it out and he does now is he he takes these images and he creates them in the computer thousands of different images puts them together computer i mean crazy beautiful images but it also always gives you the message this is being manipulated dont necessarily trust what you see you know the cameras are actually always lost so it is art teaching us how to be critical of what we are not so much for coming on the show. And staying with photography french algerian photographer Mohammad Brewer has won the dutch of burros a photography prize worth 30000. 00 british pounds for his work on class and racial tensions the prize was awarded for works including photos of marginalize youths from the outskirts of paris and polaroids shoplifters originally taken by a shopkeeper in new york. Now the chair of the jury called brewery says works a potent examination of the mechanics of power and their effect on disenfranchised communities. Income neighborhood in Dresden Germany became the stage for what has to be one of the most impressive. Concerts yet the sound of 16 al corns 9 trumpets and 4 tubers filled the district with a new piece of music designed to be played from across different apartment towers now the composer even built delays in the music to compensate for the sound lag between the towers. The sound of Snowy Mountain tops but these alpine horns ringing out from the tops of tower blocks in the poilus neighborhood in the east in german city of dresden. The idea for a rooftop concert came to the director of the informant over a year ago while he was walking past the 700 story high rise as. They would. Notice the great similarity to a mountainous landscape with steep canyons inviting the buildings. And i had the idea that musicians could stand on the rooftops and communicate with one another as it were. Much to his surprise the local Housing Office already agreed. Souls took place at a different location to ensure the concert was a complete surprise. Is a professional musician the alpine horn is one of her favorite instruments. Listen to a cry from me telling us its 3 and a half meters long and its made of wood. All the instruments can be that long to trombones for example but one thats made of wood is really very special the wood makes the vibration unusual. Much with. The performance began. Ground level the orchestra and its directs that were keen to draw in the locals as much as possible. Livens up the neighborhood. There is a sort of mini called it so it sounds granges. The mine has im a music fan anyway and i like seeing new ideas Outdoor Events all performances that involve residents. The highlight of the day was the rooftop performance at sundown of the peace skies above paulus which was specially composed for the event. But im really happy and with the sunsets and the lovely lights its been wonderful. And judging by the responding appalls the locals agree the orchestra is now planning a series of roof top concerts in cities across europe. Well thats one way to keep making music through a pandemic social distancing is also big right now in the dance world which is seeing more solos than ever choreographer Michael Gurka even jokes hell soon be choreographing over the farm but hes not there quite you. Can. Be. Some of the time and the living is easy it gets hot in this old machine shop thats been recurve as a studio by big company these days because of coronavirus restrictions choreography. Has to stay outside only a few people are allowed in the rehearsal space but despite the unusual circumstances everyone is happy to be working again and dances dont expect things to be easy at the best of times. Its all a battle against diversity there has been for 20 years of. The ensemble is rehearsing for the upcoming premiere of the lead in c. Gershwin do you love gershwin that will take place in stuttgart in early october before going on tour in germany and italy and evening with George Gershwin a composer of whom it was once said he wrote rhythms for Fred Astaires feat a perfect fit for the dunces then. But however familiar the music is whether its summertime sun by janis joplin or the jazz influenced rhapsody in blue it takes on a new character when its used as a backdrop for mark his choreography. And dance you have to take risks with darts is often too polished too cozy or its tedious i see that with the young choreographers and i always thought you need to make room for a bit of craziness and dance. And be symbolic that oftentimes. The evening features just one had to do its only a lounge despite the restrictions because the dancers live together anyway. After months of lock down the dancers a thrill to be back doing what they love most social distancing or not. Even markel his work tends to be dark sinister absurdist is sounding unusually cheerful. And yet these days the attitude is come on life isnt that difficult its a gift of being able to do this. At a time when performances remain few and far between any peace democracy does indeed feel like a gift.
