King, if i can. Ambassador, youve done a commendable job representing the north korean human rights portfolio. I also recognize the difficulties you face since the administration doesnt make the human rights issue in my view enough of a top priority. I think it best a secondtier issue behind nuclear proliferation. Even if its given sometimes lip service by calling it a top priority and constant focus. As such im disappointed that following the release of the u. N. Commission of inquiry report, in my view little has been done. No human rights sanctions no executive orders, and no move for a vote in the Security Council. Ambassador king, can you tell us what is being done at this time to hold north korea accountable for the mass atrocities described in that report . I mean it was a horrific thing to read. And why theres been so Little Movement since the reports release. And then also, are you aware that there are three americans currently detained in pyongyang and im deeply concerned par
That the costs at the end of the day while it has what we call around here a c. B. O. Core, the costs arent real. It basically is what they would have to do anyway. So were looking for language that assures our colleagues that are rightfully concerned about the debt and deficit but also addresses the grotesque Human Rights Violations that are occurring in venezuela today. I want to in a moment yield to the senator from new jersey who has shown extraordinary leadership on this and every single issue involving democracy and human rights in this region and around the world, but i hope and i know that there are things going on in the middle east that are of critical importance to our country.

Because even as we speak, there are millions of people in that country who are being systematically their

Exactly one year ago today, members of this Committee Member we heard from the administrator who told us healthcare. Gov will be ready october 1.

Have now and there wasnt this consensus around doing those things. Those are two things that have come together that i hope will get carried forward in the next few years to really reach those goals. Anyone want to add on optimism or post 2015 . Let me just say that in my incoming address at the close of the Conference Also tried to share in that optimism but also back away a little bit from putting ourselves in a position where our concerns are 2030 and saying really what do we want to do by durban, which is two years from now. If we just keep the pace were going at, we should add at least, you know, 4 million or so more people on to treatment between now and then. That would be actually where we are plus a little better. And it seems to me that what we need to do with this every twoyear global convening is to start to use it more as an accountability tool and really to use it more as a formal way to measure where we are and what weve achieved.
