nations role in this i mean i don't think we can the united nations has somewhat been dragging its feet on whether to launch an investigation into the murder of jamal has georgy they've said that there hasn't been a you know as an official request from either turkey or are another countries what would you like the secretary general of the united nations to do now that you've released this report. so 1st i should i like that i am an independent expert that has been mandated by the united nations to work on the situation of extrajudicial executions so while my inquiry is not a human rights inquiry it is based on a mandate that was given to me by the member states of the united nation 2nd i am calling on the secretary general to. establish to appoint a panel of experts who could look into criminal responsibilities i have done the human rights investigation the next step i cannot do is an actual criminal investigation sen i hope that the secretary general we we will do just that i do not believe that he needs the turkey in particular to call on such an investigation formally more generally

united nations. of course, most of you are already familiar with kelly knight craft. almost two years ago i just came here to introduce her nomination to be ambassador of canada. i noted her impressive record of public service talked about her unanimous senate confirmation back in 2007 to serve as an alternate representative for our delegation for the u.n. general assembly. i described how her performance in that role including her work on the new partnership for africa's development showed that ms. kraft is a talented consensus builder. and i predicted that if confirmed she would skillfully manage erik in's relationship with our flab to the north. a week later her nomination was reported favorably out of this committee on a voice vote. and one week after that she was confirmed by the full senate, again by voice vote. so let's talk about the past two years. and the impressive record of this first ever woman to serve as our ambassador to canada. historically, that post is not one that is typically vie

the united nations onslaught is smashing ahead on many fronts. here in rome, general clark watched his men march into the city. the allies were able to view the work of their mighty air support. some of these rail yards were bombed months ago, but repairs for the germans were out of the question. this is the same devastation now being wrought to nazi transport throughout the whole of europe. in their triumphal entry, the united nations troops moved past monuments of antiquity. the long history of the ancient city has seen few more joyous events. the liberators were acclaimed with fervor. rome is the first great capital to be freed from the enemy. the flags of united nations were unfurled at once, heralding the end of four years of nazi tyranny for the people of rome. and here is the balcony where mussolini once haranged his people. but suddenly there is excitement in the square. a bomb has been thrown into the former german headquarters. the italian people discover that some were hiding inside. and soon they smashed their way in. the traitors who

sandy reaction to the final report issued by the united nations special rapporteur. was expected the government does not seem to be pleased with the chilling details that were presented in the report and also about the fact that it implicates saudi officials of the highest level in the murder of jamal. on the other hand the turkish government seems to be pleased turkish foreign minister . said that he fully endorsed the content of the report and the need for the perpetrators to be prosecuted as soon as possible turkey seems to be now waiting to see what kind of next step that the saudi government will take if the saudis are willing to further cooperation with the turkish government that could be a new chapter of the saudis decide not to cooperate i think the turkish government is going to press ahead for the need for an international criminal investigation to start as soon as possible. deserves diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from the united nations in new york and james tell us more about the reaction from the u.n. . well agnes kalama special appointed by

statement the whole report issued by the united nations or any color mug but some of the recommendations of that report for exactly in line what with what turkey has been calling for basically the call for an international investigation to be carried out on the circumstances surrounding the murder of turkey has also been asking saudi arabia to extradite the 15 members of the hit squad that was sent here to kill. you to the point where the case itself strained relations between turkey and saudi arabia and just to give you an indication about the extent of that strained relations a few days ago crown prince mohammed bin so many that interview to the saudis paper . issued. a veiled warning to turkey about the case of saying that this case should not be used by other countries for political gains and that whoever has information should be giving evidence to saudi arabia and saudi arabia would be willing to look into all the details so i think from our own words definitely turkey is going to move to work.

the turkish government has been providing significant information to the to the united nations or to many recommendations but right for example we should talk about you can hear me just to pick up on that the tech ish government you say has been providing evidence to the united nations but as jane said the u.n. until now. somewhat dragged its feet in asking in initiating an international investigation into this because the secretary general has said for instance that there has been no request nor fishel request from turkey from another country into an investigation will this now change with this report will the turks ask and demand an international investigation by the united nations. most likely this is going to be the case asking for an international investigation because they have been saying this over the past few months number 2 they have been saying that they would like to see the. members of the his squad to be extradited to turkey if saudi arabia is not willing to. charge them and provide more details about who gave the order to kill. but 40 there is an other political angle

nations support the action of freedom of expression accordingly the rights of turkey the united states and of every country protected by the international system of diplomacy where all so violated the killing war this compounded by the failure to investigate effectively and in good faith the murder of mr castro. that killing those constitute an international crime and i call on all states to take the necessary measures including by establishing that competence to existence universal jurisdiction under international law over this crime. excellences state trust sponsibility begs the question as to whom is ultimately liable for his killing the inquiry was a human rights inquiry not a criminal investigation it has nevertheless found credible evidence why aren't further investigation of the high level saudi a few shorts individual liability including that of the crown prince of saudi arabia and of his key advisor saw that. the investigation carried out by the saudi authorities as failed to address the chain of command it is not only a question of who altered the killing criminal responsibil

through the united nations. our national security is strengthened when we are at the table at the u.n. and the u.n. is more effective with american leadership and values on display. so i look forward to your testimony today on these pressing issues. >> thank you, senator. now we will turn to ambassador craft. welcome. thank you for being willing to undertake this important engagement on behalf of the people of the united states. the floor is yours. ms. craft: thank you. thank you for the opportunity to appear here today. it is the singular honor to sit before you as president trump's nominee to serve as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. a special word of thanks, of course, to my kentucky senators, leader mcconnell and senator paul, for their kind words, as well as their encouragement, wisdom and support throughout my tenure in ottawa. i would like to express my gratitude to president trump, vice president pence, secretary pompeo, ambassador lighthizer and mission canada for the trust they have shown me as w

member states or of the united nation member states. at a whole turkey would have done that long time ago but i mean turkey also has its own interest that he needs to protect when it comes to its relationship with saudi arabia having said that we cannot by any means say that turkey has put turkish position or unconscious position has been a weak one or an ambivalent want to again has been what i mean what else can they do at this point is i think. to expect what they can do is just i mean to only expect international community support in turkish position and when it comes in the case ok saudi arabia be specifically in the report. agnes calmar she refers to this case is being suitable to be looked at within the concept of international jurisdiction what does that mean because it's clearly not just a domestic issue as the saudis have been treating it up and up until now what does it mean when she says it could be pursued under the terms of international jurisdiction. yes i think the special rapporteur is actually made a number of comments

of the united nation as an entity but also the collective security thinking of the states including the major states at this point. therefore don't ask people who work for the u.n. about their thoughts sometimes are not to be was what the security council produces or doesn't produce well the reason i'm asking it about this is because i know that you've been very disappointed by general haftar you're already alluded to that essentially uprooting the result of your own work of trying to bring the parties together but wasn't his offensive on triple it on a in a way the replay of events back in the spring of 2011 when calls for pilot a call dollop were ultimately used as a prelude for you know actual military action no i think the situation is very different. in this sense. you have you had the regime established for 4 decades and you had some protests against this regime and then you had an external intervention military intervention by the it will accept or not accept the but q. was was a un resolution used to legitimize this intervention now you have a completely different situation you

nations not over the united nations security council and in the security council the 5 permanent members i don't think have that much of a tie to pursue saudi arabia in fact the trump administration has been quite appeasing and if you remember from the last g. 20 summit in one cyrus there was a lot of back slapping and high 5 between putin she and him had been saddam and also the french and the british have been even putting pressure on germany to stop its embargo of of selling arms saudi arabia's all in oil so uribe it doesn't have many friends but doesn't have enemies among the the 5 permanent members so if there isn't a kind of international appetite to push this any further as you suggest what's the effect of that report like this is that doesn't is there any effect from it i think mainly at this point in time it's the court of public opinion i think if that is the media pressure and certainly if you look for example it's. been so money if he's going to go to the g. $20.00 in japan it's going to be even worse for him than it was in the g. 20 in one of cyrus just 6 months ago because
