for japan to play the role in united nations. so then we go next to come to both actually highlight some tensions that are inherent in this multilateral mechanisms, tensions between the individual members and the broader membership of these organizations. that point i mentioned before the japan's example in the'80s and'90s, the tensionwhich event is being pressured by these come its membership in the g7 in particular. it goes to a point that membership has certain opportunities, provides opportunities within subjects the members to certain pressure. so there's a matter of accepting some surrender of sovereignty by merit of membership in these organizations. professor honda come in your paper, you actually make it incredibly relevant to the current times in speaking to a washington audience. i think you talk about unless washington is prepared to occasion compromise, it's unlikely that other governments will cite on with their help is necessary for u.s. priorities. and so we have talked about the wto in this panel but i think when

private military companies would not be necessary if national armies and the united nations were able to actually fulfill their mandate so i don't think the world should play the blame before us they should go and look at why we exist. did the african union at any point used your expertise know the african union has not made use of our services because it's it comprises government organizations however i have been a speaker at african union conferences especially in relation to the establishment of what's known as the african standby force. in which i was asked to deliver my opinion as to what could make a stand by force work or not work. you company step claims to have been operating in africa in asia in the middle east could you give us some examples of how these operations we worked in south america we worked in indonesia. we were asked to go to saudi arabia after the message of the pogroms that taken place we lived with the saudi national guard and gave our input and obviously we've worked extensively across africa so you trained saudi saudi security on the list to keep security f

the united nations. i think she's going to address that today. at the end of the table is stephanie segal who is my colleague here at csas, senior fellow in the simon share. previously served as codirector of the east asia office at the u.s. department of the treasury where she worked for many years and also was at the international monetary fund for five years or so and she also earned a masters degree from johns hopkins. by the way, we do put a heavy premium on diversity at csas and i'm somewhat apologetic that three of the four people up here, including myself, went to csas. we'll try to remedy that. thank you honda for giving us a different perspective. with that we're going to ask -- i think we're going to start with kanoi, a brief introduction and then we'll go from there. >> thank you very much for your kind introduction. dr. goodman, i would like to thank the japan chair and dr. green to invite me for this very important conference and i look forward to discussions very much. for japan's economic

nations security council the highest body within the united nations announced 9 years ago in 2011 that maybe this time it will be respected and maybe that's kind of goodwill didn't seem enough for the united nations secretary general himself we decided to take the mike and then really kind of express once again his frustration and disappointment that members of the united nations security council themselves including france are accused of flouting that arms embargo and unless until and unless international powers actually respect its and implement it themselves then it really does leave any agreement in a precarious situation so let's say out with the latest there from berlin where that meeting is concluded and we have the final communique for the moment you now thank you. the u.n. says a missile attack on a government military camp in yemen that killed at least $111.00 people could derail the fragile deescalation process there the government is blaming who are the rebels for the attack but so far no one has claimed responsibility they call a gauge has more and a warning some viewers m

nations is there that has the highest possible level of the united nations attending the head of the european union. is there. president francis the president of turkey has arrived president putin of. russia is expected the heads of government of great britain boris johnson and all of it to be . are expected as well as the head of the egyptian government president all sisi and representatives from the united arab emirates and then there are several other international organizations such as the arab league and we should we should mention that johnson of course the prime minister of the u.k. has just arrived very miracle taking him into the chance really. it's interesting you mention all of these old these players who are going to be here these are all the foreign players who the united nations says they want to stay out of libya and it's curious to me it makes me wonder you know where's the room for compromise here where on the one hand the united nations says foreign players are interfering with domestic affairs in libya and at the same time these are the same people who are sitting

for japan to play the role in united nations. so then we go next to come to both actually highlight some tensions that are inherent in this multilateral mechanisms, tensions between the individual members and the broader membership of these organizations. that point i mentioned before the japan's example in the '80s and '90s, the tension which event is being pressured by these come its membership in the g7 in particular. it goes to a point that membership has certain opportunities, provides opportunities within subjects the members to certain pressure. so there's a matter of accepting some surrender of sovereignty by merit of membership in these organizations. professor honda come in your paper, you actually make it incredibly relevant to the current times in speaking to a washington audience. i think you talk about unless washington is prepared to occasion compromise, it's unlikely that other governments will cite on with their help is necessary for u.s. priorities. and so we have talked about the wto in this panel but i think w

nations resolutions united nations plans that have been in existence for quite some time. but the process i think has to start with a cessation of hostilities and a well established cease fire before any political process any idea of forming a new government of forming a government of national unity of holding elections whatever any of that can only happen if there is peace in that country so i think the major focus at the moment is to stop those foreign powers that are involved from further fanning the flames sending further weapons into the area from sending missionaries into into those areas from encouraging the competence actually to be to fight to to continue their armed conflict and that is not what has happened in recent days in recent weeks the fact that search took you for instance got involved to the extent that it has that it is now also sending arms its own soldiers and hundreds of mercenaries from the and syria is a fairly recent development. the fact that russia got very deep much deeply involved much more deeply involved militarily is also a fairly recent de

is this going to be implemented even if there is an agreement today you mention the united nations let's stick with this notion of reaching resolution which is crucial at this point the un has says that they want to make sure that there is no more foreign interference and yet when you look at the lay of the land out there in berlin today it is full of foreign players those are going to be the main negotiators is there going to be some room for compromise because there's always room for compromise obviously it's a matter of power it's a matter of finding a balance between the various interests the interests that are represented by these powers. with their interests involved in things like oil things like migration and terrorism. division of influence in the military an area all of that plays a role as geo strategically very important and these major players have to agree on what the vision of power division of interest they could see happening in the future if they agree then the competence on the ground will have to stick with their line of political correspondent thanks so much. that's

the united nations resolution but there are many other issues. i believe it's going to be emblematic as we will celebrate the 75th anniversary since the 2nd world war was well essentially stablish want of the united nations when you see my summit of nations that made the main contribution to. building in a post world world and you add quickly and in order to end fighting collective so you responses to the challenges and threats of today and it would demonstrate our recovery commented ocean 2 and also historical memory of those lefty ideals and values that our forefathers fought because side by side to vote for and inclusion and i would like to say thank you to i was really calling for the warm on a spirit world welcome here in jerusalem and wish to look the participants of the conference as well as all citizens of israel peace and all the best thank you very much. well that was the russian president vladimir putin's speech. the walled holocaust for him that's taking place in jerusalem just now he touched upon several issues for example the idea o

absolutely and i think this is why you know also at the united nations we continuously try to provide the world with a score card and a way to monitor progress because clearly. in one sense we are not getting there if you take everybody on the planet together but it's also important to recognize where we are getting there and many countries many communities on many goals are actually progressing and that's why i think it is important to not take the collective failure to move fast enough at the moment as a reason not to believe that this can work on the other hand and this is what we see also here at the world economic forum every year too many for too long have simply held on to yesterday's economy because it actually serves some very well but what it has done is it has prevented tomorrow's economy from emerging from being financed from being put in the hands of those who actually have the most to benefit from it so much of what we also are discussing we talk about climate change or access to health. is essentially inequality and this is why i think we are in some ways at a point whe
