11 oclock and there are lots of stories here on out 0 and hundreds of protests as have been detained across russia. After president putin announced a partial military mobilization on wednesday, the tickets out of the country sold out and traffic is surging at border crossings. Bernard smith has us. Oh, theres no much time to say good bye here in soccer. Russias far east. Most of these men had only 24 hours. Notice that they were being drafted into rushes army that some of the 300000 reservists being called up to fight in ukraine. I not every one is going willingly. I and da gaston, russia said the most tip reservists confront a woman at the military commission. Whats it for this war . This man shouts, i lepeu to protect his own palaces, not hide behind our men and children. There is still a few who summoned the courage to protest against present by the mere putins announcement of a partial mobilization of civilians. This was in saint petersburg. Swinging about them took my boyfriend received today a notification from military commissary at. So he can come out here, but i came because i dont want our young men to be taken away. When we came to protect our friends, our fathers and our relatives who they want to take to the war, the brutal war against ukraine. One Monitoring Group says at least 1300 people have been detained in 38 cities. But alignment the middleton, his public. Most russians get the news from state levy and more than 70 percent of them definitely, or mostly support or putting coals a special military operation. Ukraine. Thats according to a poll by an independent Russian Organisation before the draft was announced, which European Commission says more than half a 1000000 russians have left the country since the invasion began in february. This was the border with georgia on wednesday. Finland has also seen a spike in arrivals, the only remaining direct flights to european cities at a stump bull in belgrade that sold out of or is horrible. So a say key to be afraid to help or, and of their settings. But those men who are eligible for military service will not be allowed to leave russia. They will have to stay and fight. And they dont know when theyll see their families again. Bernard smith, al jazeera, the secretary of states is called on all Un Security Council members to warn rusher against making nuclear threats. And to be blake consider russian president Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to shred the international order. It must be asked, how has this aggression against ukraine . By president putin improved the lives or prospects of a single russian citizen . One man chose this war. One man can end it. Because if russia stops fighting, the war ends. If you crane stops fighting, ukraine ends. Thats why we will continue to support ukraine as it defends itself or russias, a foreign minister, psycho lover of attempted to defend the invasion euro unless through millennium, near the legacy. Todays meeting was motivated by the intention of several delegations to discuss the topic of impunity in ukraine, and i think its very timely. Its precisely this turn, impunity that reflects whats been going on in this country since 2014, a national, radicalized force open, russo folks, and neo nazis came to power. And then as a result of an armed coup with direct support of western countries. Right after that they took the path of lawlessness in totally ignoring fundamental rights and freedoms. Israels Prime Minister has told the un general assembly, he supports a 2 state solution with palestinians. This the 1st time in israeli leader has discussed a 2 state solution at the un since 2015.

I think thats how we and facial became close as customers. We have 2 legs, feet together. Ah. So with both my guys are coming from our water and kind of treat. The question is, is there a degree of measure of wall that now makes you be counted as a refugee and one which makes you not get time as a refugee or the aspect a well founded, i think is still on the did it. So i will, i will tell you what a test on, on, on the threshold for was the show for civil war. Its the commission within that. If its a convention its, its to me, new running away isnt well founded, fear that our lives and, and dealt with internet. No, you dont agree with me. I mean, fox for a country like canal should be the last ones that are trying to throw away. If it is so welcome to that has potential threats for complex that is going to be turned on on the guest for the levels. You also need to anticipate the ring when, when were, when to re or so. Sickle cell africa has more than 26 percent of the worlds weight peachy population.

We finally be shut down by the Ministry Says it has already disbanded the department of fifties. A phase as the 1st step there.

I went to be happy to be here because i told you know i password a funny give up it get dollars. 20. 00 with arrive with the biggest part of it. For me is African Students coming together to discuss this issue. Because much as we come from different african countries, the africans context is quite in many ways. Putting our minds, i guess the best means in africa wont really be interesting to see how we measure ivy. Please hold that, thought i was this music typing, but then i was done. My block was like killing me. But here we are. With what do i pay . Im curious. Sorry for my ignorance. What was stuff like an african leg . Yeah. I was guy. Yeah, its everyone is technically its in here. What were is were gonna scroll malala not. Yeah. You know, were from egypt. Oh, okay. I found a book restrictions in the freedom a i dont think we should be Restricted Movement in the continent. To be able to move is to be able to understand other people than if you understand them. You understand that not really that different and not just so its a lot of problems for us. You know, the flourish humor right. Was gone by the problem in his last summer months, according to my understanding of said he honest them is compatible with and thats my personal weve got a lot of people would disagree. A lot of people agreed, but thats what were here for. You know me like, lets ask the memory doesnt show that the issue. The problem is the quality continue as the main problem we can use that can and case, but dams cant afford a thing and to see them. The merely nearby is robin from the work hes okay maam . Oh god damn thing. As with phone man, can dad . Its as oh, good bye, like good. Now lets see the book on repeat. It was also say to the attorney general, this is unity doubt.

Students of human life. Research shows in the aerial humor, features of human rights, petitioning of human rights. Good evening. I went to read it, it would whos here . You are here because it doesnt post those took place. I selected you the only to one by be him. You may take a pipe away from him or i smoke, but i can assure you that the letters from here, the views from here will always influence how you look at life. Lisa and future made the best thing with child. If i this is going to be a gauge the situation. So wasnt sure, and i havent seen anybody, so we kind of tell everybody looks pretty good fit you go to eat it is ready. Well, lets go over here. Perfect. All the best. Its just human to allow somebody who has been forced to leave their home probably lost their life as they know it was some members of their family to let them have a chance. If youre, if you g, then you will become entitled to some protection on some we leave. But most governments are reluctant to tell me refugee all right. The african caught him and peoples right, its not in session in the match between leave us alone. And there are public, ive been, carry out your excellence as we come before the scott specifically because of the conduct of the respondents state. We are dealing with questions of human dignity, revealing with persons being persecuted for voicing their political opinions. Your excellency. We contend that the Respondent State or been toria, abrogated the same right. But its assumed to protect. Thank you very much. This is a lot posted to the issue of the children, that detention of children 1st and foremost, should be a measure of last resort. Even if they could not find their parents. Article 23 of the african childrens jetta requested to find out if theres any other nation that can pick up this children or is responsible for these children. Therefore even if they cannot find their parents, they are still obligated to determine or their nationalities and as a result, as opposed to give them such protection, lockwood them the protection of their stay. So since august 2017. But it really, i experienced a lot of political unrest, disappearances, executions. And this led to many people think barry diller, however, they were not granted to ride to seek a sal, and they were rounded up and straight away, returned back to the territory where your life will be in danger. This is not only violate the right to seek asylum, it also violates the right to be protected from before mom, as well as masked partition accounts due to a violation of article 12 of the african charter. There is a violation of their rights. I feel grieved by them at the same time, i believe my leg pile pressure on my cell. Cuz if i think if they think about it from the aspect that they hold me shown is looking up here. Depending on me, it will pile up too much pressure. My excellence is the question before this court is who is that refugee . There have been killings of parsons instances of enforced disappearance. Emperor d, Police Harassment of ethnic minorities who stop pd your career. That these things did take place in parenting. However, by the time 1250 people fled from there and to lead these things had ceased to occur. So how can they still seek protection from something that is no longer going on . Yes, the atlas the actually get your point and in the back is right that they had largely says to excellence. If however your excellence is, let us look at the statement that was made by plane found into group in which they have stated their addresses. They shall not stop the violence until the power is best. Now not just using the political disturbance rescues when the guys will for comic crazes in the country. So i really dont think that hes still your excellence is because there was Political Violence which has love this is, but its still in existence. Now maybe your issue will be now, should they be allowed to come into been terrier all of them, then they can call upon other states to assist them your excellence in containing the references, right. Thank you very much. Sometimes you argue against positions that are contrary to what you believe in, but if you really want to be convinced about your beliefs, the 1st place you should start is to question them your excellencies. I dont propose that the courts done a blind eye to the evidence. I propose that this court is guided by article 26 of the protocol that establishes it and makes a finding that it is best on evidence. Your excellency. Poker, 5 of the facts indicates that their de la antonia still maintained a close border unless the people who fled from those countries without that his fame, the objective criteria. I therefore supposed to have a visa, giving them clear permission to enter the state, have been bent area, realize it has obligations and other or a you refugee convention. But excellence is the moved from the dealer into the valley where they could have easily been afforded that protection as a salem because they left that such protection and then proceeded to to buffet with offending children, abusers. And the fact that this has been happening all over the world. But emotional for everyone to look. Are you defending children hor, you know, facing horrors. Are you doing that . But again, thats what lawyers do, i guess. Right. How do respond to submission by the applicant . Despondent as a if i looked at african shutter by not somebody in children from us, the detention center. This is an extreme situation where we were by, we had to act out immediately. And based on the current resources, we have extremely, regardless, tuition. But again, we were protecting them from possibly were there essentially these children are a victim. So our actions that had the right to life the actual right to like not to die on the streets by taking them into custody. Your excellency, these children had the right to food as provided for under article 14 of them, i put a protocol they had the right to help, which was provided for and the article 16 of the african shots are you excellent, is the right to education, the header basic library excellencies, where they could indeed study these children. They were treated well. Excellent. Well, they were rather i retract that statement. They were treated within the premier stability of the law and that, thank you. Excellent. Well then, i think for goal this was remarkable. Wishing you all the best in your future, measures with people say that they come with us, call them, but im not. Im shy, sometimes you live with myself. I usually take compliments. Reluctantly with oh, im elected to be cookie.

Their states, refugee camps are capacity and the rest and attention of the paradigms has not violated the human rights. The state is afforded discretion in the determination of mister bizarre Refugee Status in council, excuse me, in like a statement of the bus so, so matter. Some say paramount human right is freedom of expression. Isnt it the case at mr. Ball . So, so as an activist for what in some quarters is an unpopular college. And if you couple that with the alleged force disappearance of a journalist that we have a pattern here, suppression of expression. Come on you excellence, is those spun instead of been terrier has demonstrated that it has wilfully taken on International Human rights obligations. As demonstrated in paragraph g of the thought when you try to fight several International Human rights instruments. Furthermore, the state taxes obligations very seriously.

These pro, karma, is what you fucked available and sufficient, especially taken with the fact that the state has responded and is willing to be engaged on that occasion.

We were African Students in this place and anybody sex and everybody was friendly to each other and interacting with each other or the other. The notion that the students have already been made and theyre ready. They already chose their sides, but for us, because we are so that we could live together and walk to you and win together as, as young people to kind of show that we should aspire philosophy. It was definitely tough dealing with it because it happened in such a public space. I mean, perhaps i didnt react to it in the best way. However, but coming back to kenya was able to put it into perspective and to just shelving away and moving to something else. Productive. I applied for the position of president of them would cause society and i was appointed as president. Its something that id be happy about ill head into court.
