A stays home policies and limit the spread of the coronavirus. Plus more storms for constant the south west as the death toll there hits 50 many still missing. Now the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings says the u. S. Drone strike that killed a top iranian general and january was illegal on the a column od says cousin killing in baghdad went against the u. N. Charter the white house has said the attack on ceremony was carried out to deter imminent attacks against u. S. Interests well lets get more on this now with out to her magic as james space who is at the u. N. For us james calamos report clearly says the u. S. Has provided no evidence an imminent attack was being prepared what are the implications here. Well its a damning report from Agnes Kalamata who is the special rapporteur as you say on extrajudicial killings worth explaining what that is its an independent expert who is appointed by the Human Rights Council and these reports where she investigates cases of possible extradition killing then reported back to the u. N. Human Rights Council remember that the u. N. Human Rights Council is not a u. N. Body that the trumpet ministration already looks favorably on they pulled out of the un Human Rights Council in 2018 and so i suspect if there is going to be a response from the trumpet ministration it will be an angry response the u. S. Position they say theyve made very clear in a letter they submitted to the Security Council 5 days after the killing of general sort of mani the iranian strategic expert and commander which they said it was a case of selfdefense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report. Says that there is no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack against u. S. Interests so she says therefore on the basis of the information provided by the u. S. And of course she doesnt have access to any classified intelligence information she believes this was a breach of the u. N. Charter a breach of International Law james just what wealth did these comments carry and what action could be taken from home. Well its a very strong and very clear report but what archon it will go to the un Human Rights Council they will read the report and decide what else they can do she has put forward recommendations and most of her recommendations are going to be on this specific case in talking about the whole issue of the use of drones Drone Technology transferring drones from one country to another shes saying that in cases like this the u. N. Secretary general who she does not report to should come up with his own inquiry i think that its very unlikely that the u. N. Will launch an inquiry into this case or cases of this sort but clearly its a question were going to be asking the u. N. In the coming hours diplomatic editor james bay is there for us at the u. N. Thanks very much for that james now the u. N. Also says a string of air strikes carried out by the Syrian Government and Russian Forces in the amount to war crimes the report identified 52 socalled emblematic attacks between november and june and says syria and its russian ally have killed hundreds of people and force nearly a 1000000 to flee that report also accuse the.
