Heart wrenching:
A Gaza photographer documented the emotional swings she witnesses daily among children living through war.
One young girl told her:
“My dreams scare me… they cut off my finger in the dream and took me to the hospital.”
But the next day, the same child said:
“I want to grow up, learn, become an engineer, I want to be everything.”
In Gaza, children shift from terror to hope in hours.
Experts warn that without urgent psychological support, an entire generation risks long-term trauma, a deliberate outcome of the ongoing Israeli war.

Ritter’s Rant 069: Back to the Future
We need a reset with Russia. Maybe we need to back to the Cold War and start over.
Jan 15, 2026
https://open.substack.com/pub/scottritte
Transkripzioa:
Hello and welcome to this episode of Ritter’s Rant. Today we’re going to be talking about Back to the Future. Not the movie, although it was pretty cool. But sort of hitting on some themes related to the movie. You see, Marty McFly was fleeing Libyan terrorists and he jumped into a modified DeLorean to
get away and he went back in time. And in doing so, he… you know, he found himself influencing events to change future outcomes. The whole idea was to get his mother and his father to fall in love so that the world wouldn’t be the bad place that it was. Why do I bring this up?
Well, today we’ve got an issue. Next month, the New Star Treaty, the last remaining arms control treaty between Russia and the United States expires, and it’s not going to be revived uh russian president vladimir putin has made a very magnanimous offer to voluntarily extend the caps of new start uh donald trump initially said that he
couldn’t allow new start to expire recently he said yeah so what if it expires we’ll just negotiate a better treaty that means he wants to you know have a better relationship with russia but our relationship with russia is fundamentally broken today I mean, it is not good.
Donald Trump ran on a campaign promise of trying to make things better. He said we were going to become friends and people like me believed him. I mean, I mean, I want good relations between Russia and the United States. I want peace. I don’t want nuclear war.
And he was a man who was saying all the right things. You know, he he courted me and he courted other Americans to get their votes. You know, he promised us things just like, you know, any paramour does when he’s trying to woo a woman, buy her perfume, give her flowers, take her to dinner, say nice things.
And eventually she falls forward and says, this guy really cares for me. He cares about me. And then when he gets on his knee and he hands her the ring and proposes marriage, she says, I do. only to find that he’s had a mistress the entire time. And this is sort of what happened with Donald Trump.
He wooed us. He made false promises. He led us to believe that we had shared values and a shared vision and that we could live together. And it turns out he had a mistress the whole time, the deep state. Yep, the same deep state that poisoned Joe Biden’s mind, poisoned Barack Obama’s mind. The reset wasn’t a reset.
It was regime change. Joe Biden sought the strategic defeat of Russia. Heck, by the end of his term, Joe Biden was ready to go to nuclear war with Russia. Another reason why I fell for Donald Trump’s false promises. But it turns out that Donald Trump’s the same. He doesn’t want peace with Russia. He wants to defeat Russia.
Donald Trump is controlled by the same people, the same systems that have resented Vladimir Putin’s refusal to accept Russia’s status as a defeated nation. I mean, we won the Cold War. We beat the Soviet Union. Why doesn’t Russia recognize this? Why doesn’t Russia just stay down on their knees doing what we tell them? Because we won.
Vladimir Putin and the Russian people, they don’t believe that they lost the Cold War. They don’t believe the United States defeated the Soviet Union. They believe that the Soviet Union sort of collapsed from within because of malpractice on the part of Mikhail Gorbachev and his false promises of perestroika, glasnost.
It didn’t lead Russia anywhere but into the decade of the 1990s, which was one of the worst decades in Russian history in terms of the collapse of society and the horrible price paid by the Russian people for the failure of the Soviet Union. But the Russians weren’t defeated by America. America wanted them defeated.
Heck, we tried to convince the Russians they were defeated. And many Russians bow down to this false promise, know that the West is better than Russia. Be ashamed of who you are. Walk away from Russia. Turn to the West. But always remember your place. You are Russians. You’re not as good as we are.
You look to us because we’re better than you. And so even though we might invite you over, you’ll always be the Cinderella to our party. The one who’s cleaning up, doing our chores. You’re never going to be our equals and you must accept this. And Vladimir Putin said, no, I’m not doing that.
And he convinced the Russian people to fall back in love with themselves, to fall back in love with their culture, their language, their history. And now Russia has risen to its feet and it’s brushed itself off and it’s put on new clothes and it’s cleaned up its house. And Russia is looking pretty good right now.
And there are so many people that resent this. I mean, my God, if you’re somebody like me who was a child of the Cold War, we grew up fearing the Soviet Union, but respecting the Soviet Union. I studied Russia and Russian history and the Soviet Union,
not only because they were the enemy and you got to get to know your enemy, but because I generally was interested in Russian history, Russian culture. And I just find it all so fascinating. And when I deal with Russians, the last thing I want is for me to be superior and them to be inferior.
I want us to be equals because we are equals. The deep state can’t accept this. Russia must be subordinated. So we have a failed relationship right now. It’s based on a lie. Donald Trump promised something he can’t deliver. He wants Russia to be defeated and Russia refuses to play the game.
So the question is, do we continue with this false courtship? Because as things stand, the United States and Russia are never going to be friends on these terms. The United States isn’t going to defeat Russia, and Russia is not going to willingly submit. And what we can do by continuing this poisonous relationship is lead ourselves off
the edge of the abyss to enter into the realm of nuclear Armageddon. So what needs to be done? Back to the future. Marty McFly. We need to Marty McFly ourselves. We need to flee this nonsense that exists today, this failed relationship,
go back in time we need a new cold war now i i know you guys are like what the heck are you talking about the my dogs also agree what the heck are you talking about why are you talking about a new cold war didn’t didn’t you say the cold was a
dangerous period that we wanted to avoid it that we needed to move forward yes it was a very dangerous period but during the cold war we respected each other and during the cold war we actually created the foundation of mutual respect and mutual trustworthiness that led to the potential of a real genuine courtship.
But the United States wasn’t ready for that. The other thing we have to realize is that the Cold War was not about a failed relationship but failed systems uh ideologies that wouldn’t work you know a lot of people say it was between communism and democracy what i understand is that it’s between communism and capitalism indeed the american
version of capitalism that was being imposed on the world after the end of the second world war you know when people go back in time they say when did the cold war begin one of the things that’s mentioned is George Kennan’s February 1946 long telegram, you know,
in the long telegram spelled out Kennan’s understanding of the Soviet Union and how it was against us across the board. And then this got weaponized and, you know, National Security Council document 68 that created the Cold War, the Truman Doctrine. And off we go. But if you read the very beginning of the long telegram,
it says in reference to Department 284 of February 13th. Nobody talks about that. What was that? That was actually a query from, I believe, the Department of Treasury as to why the Soviets weren’t signing on to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Why aren’t they playing the capitalist game, the American hegemony game?
There’s the answer, because it was an American hegemony game. It wasn’t so much that there was an ideological conflict. There was an economic conflict. The Soviet Union wasn’t willing to yield to the United States. So imagine if we could go back in time like Marty McFly and begin
a courtship because that’s what the cold war was it was really a courtship between the united states and the soviet union learning to live together learning to realize that war wasn’t the answer learning to realize that maybe getting rid of nuclear weapons was a good thing and trying to figure out how to live in peace um
but we couldn’t because we had systems that were economically divergent but today russia is a capitalist society It’s not American capitalism per se, but they operate under the same rule. Kirill Dmitriev, who advises President Putin on many issues, is a former Goldman Sachs banker.
And he runs a sovereign fund that is premised on all sorts of capitalist principles, etc. The Russian banking system mirrors many of the rules and regulations that the West has. Russia is a capitalist society. And so too is the United States. So if we go back in time, We’ll be starting from a different premise.
And the other thing is the age of American hegemony is over. If we go back to a Cold War, it’s not going to be about the United States promoting American hegemony that we can’t sustain. It’ll be about the United States learning to transition into a multipolar reality, one that Russia plays its central role in.
So let’s go back to the future. Let’s go back in time. Let’s get back to a Cold War. Let’s be honest. America and Russia today are incompatible. so let’s go to a cold war but you know what we did during the cold war we talked to
each other nikita khrushchev came to the united states richard nixon went to the soviet union our artists went to the soviet union their artists came here we had detente american tourists traveled throughout the soviet union soviet tourists came to the united states you know we didn’t build a wall that separated us the wall was
you know based upon You know, this premise of ideological incompatibility that was founded
in economic differences. We don’t have economic differences today. We really don’t have ideological incompatibility. What we have is the burden of history. So let’s go back in time and change that history. Let’s go back to the Cold War. Let’s have an arms race.
We’re not going to avoid it. But then let’s relearn the lessons of why we don’t want an arms race. Let’s begin to study each other the way we studied each other during the Cold War. And who knows? Maybe we’ll fall in love again. And maybe this time when America gets on its knees and offers the ring.
Or hell, Russia gets on its knees and offers the ring. Who knows? It’ll be done with sincerity and not based on a lie. Anyways, that’s my rant. The next time a thought crosses my mind, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Headline Geopolitics with Host José Niño: Alfred de Zayas
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW_Xq8ljKnI)
2026(e)ko urt. 12(a) UNITED STATES
In this Headline Geopolitics episode, José Niño interviews Alfred de Zayas, a veteran international lawyer and former UN human rights expert, to examine the unraveling of international law in the post–Cold War era. De Zayas explains how legal norms meant to restrain power have been transformed into instruments of power, particularly under U.S. hegemony. The conversation spans Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, and Venezuela, probing selective enforcement, sanctions as economic warfare, humanitarian law’s collapse, and the use of “legality” to justify regime change. This episode offers a sober assessment of whether international law still functions as law—or merely as narrative management in an age of impunity. José Niño is the deputy editor of Headline USA.

0:24
Hello everyone and welcome back to Headline Geopolitics. I am your host,
0:29
Jose Nino, and today I am joined by a lawyer and human rights expert, Alfred
0:35
Des. How are you today, Alfred? I’m very well indeed. I’ve had three interviews already and I have two more
0:42
to go today. Oh, okay. On this damn Venezuelan problem.
0:47
Yeah, quite Yeah, it’s quite quite the interview itinerary you got there. Uh
0:53
anyways, to start off, could you give the brief could you give
0:58
the audience a brief overview of your career, how you and how you originally came to international law?
1:06
Well, born in Cuba, grew up in Chicago, went to Harvard Law School, practiced
1:13
law in the law firm of Cyrus Vance, Simpson Patrick, and Bartlett.
1:18
got bored of uh doing financing of public utilities and
1:24
S1s and S7s for the Securities and Exchange Commission. Took a fullbrite
1:29
graduate fellowship, went to Germany, finished my history at the University of
1:35
Gutting and taught for a while. Then suddenly friend of mine at the Maxplank
1:41
Institute for H Highleberg said they’re advertising a
1:47
post for a senior lawyer for the human rights committee. Why don’t you apply? So I applied and I got the job. So that
1:54
was back in 1980. So I worked 25 years for the United Nations as a senior
2:00
lawyer for the human rights committee as the chief of petitions that’s more or less registar.
2:06
And then I retired cuz I wanted to go back to teaching cuz I love teaching. And I still teach here international law
2:11
at the Geneva School of Diplomacy. And then uh I was more or less recycled out
2:17
of retirement. I’m called back in as an independent expert on international
2:22
order. And then I did 14 reports for the general assembly and for the human
2:27
rights council uh and a trilogy of human rights. This one building a just world
2:34
order. Clarity Press 21. Then uh countering mainstream narratives, that’s
2:41
part of our problem, the mainstream narratives. Yes. 2022. And then the human rights industry
2:48
in 2023. And that’s where I explain I’m not only belly aching. I identify
2:56
problems and then I give you concrete, pragmatic, implementable
3:01
recommendations how to fix it. But of course, do they want to fix it? No, of course they don’t. I mean, the the thing
3:08
that bothers me, and that’s one of the things that I say about hijacking of the system,
3:14
the human the office of the high commissioner for human rights. Do you think that they
3:20
would hire somebody like me today? Of course not. I would be filtered out in
3:27
the first interview because they want people who will just follow orders tow
3:33
the line. They don’t want someone who thinks independently. They don’t want someone who actually is committed to
3:40
human rights. Uh and the fact is that the
3:46
organization on the prohibition of chemical weapons, the international atomic energy agency, the international
3:53
criminal court have been largely in the service of Washington and Brussels of
3:59
the collective waste. They’re not in the service of humanity. They’re not there for you for me. And uh that is the
4:06
problem. It has to be fixed. I mean I am a believer in international law. I hardly
4:14
support anything of what Mr. Trump is saying. Trump wants to tear down the system. I don’t want to tear down the
4:21
United Nations. We need it. This is the only viable hope for humanity. The UN
4:29
charter as the world constitution. But that means that you have to be
4:39
objective. You have to be professional about what you’re doing. You cannot take
4:44
international law alakart. I apply it this way today and this way tomorrow.
4:50
You cannot pick and choose. You cannot apply double standards. And that is what
4:55
has happened to human rights. Human rights are weaponized and they’re
5:00
applied uh with double standards. When I was the first reporter to go to
5:06
Venezuela in 21 years, I that was 2017.
5:14
I asked like any other reporter for an invitation because of course it’s not
5:21
the country that invites you. You have to say say I would like to do a
5:28
study on this and that. Uh will you invite me?
5:33
So for 21 years, Venezuela said no because Venezuela knew very well that u
5:41
most of the rapors would be a priori against them and would not be interested
5:49
uh in helping them. So it would only be you invite someone, you give them a stick so that you can be hit over the
5:56
head with. So they said no to everybody. They took a chance on me. You know the
6:03
song of Abba, take a chance on me. So they thought maybe this guy is going to
6:10
be objective. This guy is going to look around. And I was so objective that I
6:15
refused to do an end of mission report or an end of
6:23
mission press conference because I’d gotten so much material from the
6:28
opposition, from the Venezuelan opposition, from the NOS’s, from the
6:34
members of the National uh assembly. I gotten so much material from the
6:40
lawyers, from the diplomats, from the professors, from the churches that I
6:45
said, “Look guys, I have to digest all of this. I have to read all of this
6:50
material before I put down anything on paper and I’m not going to make any
6:55
statements to the press. I am not into megaphone diplomacy. I want to help
7:01
people and I did. I had not been getting credit for it. But within two and a half weeks after
7:09
being there, I succeeded in getting 80 people, 80
7:15
detainees released. I also got uh Roberto Picon, an important uh
7:21
opposition leader, released because I was convinced that the guy was uh innocent and that there was what was
7:28
against him. In any event, I studied the the case and I made a personal case uh
7:33
of him to uh the then foreign minister Herasa successfully. So he was released
7:40
on the 24th of December on Christmas day uh as the case may be. Uh I prepared the
7:50
ground for the visit of uh Michelle Bashel uh the high commissioner for
7:55
human rights. I prepared the ground for a new uh presence of the office of the
8:02
high commissioner for human rights uh in Karakas so that you could actually work uh with the authorities etc. So I
8:10
thought it was a very uh successful thing and uh I did not visit Maduro. I
8:17
did visit Deli Rodriguez with her. I did most of my shall we say negotiating
8:24
uh with uh the foreign minister uh Ariasa and with Deli Rodriguez at that
8:30
time the vice president now the president of Venezuela. I had a good impression from both as people who were
8:36
committed uh to their people to service uh to serve their people and um I
8:45
discovered that the humanitarian crisis or so-called humanitarian crisis was
8:51
thoroughly artificial meaning uh lift the US sanctions and the so-called
8:59
malnutrition or the uh problems in the hospitals etc
9:04
disappear because it was the financial blockade
9:10
uh imposed by the United States and imposed also through the United States
9:15
by the IMF etc on Venezuela uh the blocking of the um uh accounts of
9:24
Venezuela uh all over including here in Switzerland the UBS uh refuses to handle
9:34
uh the uh accounts of uh Venezuela because they’re under sanctions and UPS
9:43
has business in the United States and doesn’t want to be penalized. So in any event, the whole thing is artificial.
9:50
When I read in the New York Times that uh Venezuela from being a very wealthy
9:56
country has gone down to poverty. Sure. Totally artificial. And when I walked
10:03
the streets in Venezuela, you know what I did? I
10:09
off my uh bow tie. I took off my suit. I
10:14
put on a guava. walk the streets to talk to people since Spanish is my
10:22
mother tongue. No problem talking to people and realizing that they hate the
10:29
Yankees. They hate the United States. They blame the United States for their
10:34
misery. They did not blame Chavis. They did not blame uh Maduro. They saw Maduro
10:41
as the victim of the country as the representative of the
10:47
country who wants to have self-determination. They want to determine their own future. They want to
10:54
determine how the proceeds of uh the sale of uh
11:00
oil and the sale of uh rare earth. Don’t forget they have a lot of lithium and
11:07
they have a lot of rare earth. That’s why uh Trump wants them. Uh but that the
11:13
profit should not go to an American corporation or to the transnationals.
11:19
Profit should go to the Venezuelan people. That’s what the Bolivarian revolution is all about.
11:27
And the United States doesn’t permit that. uh real back
11:34
1970. What did Nixon tell Kissinger and what did Kissinger tell Mc Nixon about the
11:41
election of Salvador Aende in Chile? that they would not allow
11:48
a socialist model to succeed in Latin America, that they would impose such
11:56
sanctions on um Chile, that they would make the Chilean economy scream. It is
12:05
written is black and white. Uh and that is what
12:11
uh Trump and what uh Obama you remember when Obama decided already in 2014 um
12:19
that uh Venezuela was a national security threat for the United States.
12:26
national security threat is because if it is a successful
12:33
uh economic model, then other countries in Latin America are going to follow it.
12:38
And that means that the uh American corporations are not going to be making the same kind of money. They’re not
12:45
going to be able to exploit um the Latin Americans to the degree that they exploited them in the 19th
12:51
century and the first half of the 20th century. So that’s what it’s all about money and um the whole argument of human
13:00
rights violations etc is just a disgrace. Uh and the fact that the United Nations um lends itself to this.
13:09
The fact that the United Nations um actually put out uh so-called reports on
13:17
um Venezuela. I read them all and I fact checked them when I was in Venezuela.
13:24
And I mean the level of lying, the fabrication, the falsification,
13:31
uh the uh reversal of roles that you see in many uh human rights reports, whether
13:40
they be from human rights watch, uh the reports of Jose Ivano on Venezuela or
13:45
just a disgrace. And what do they all want? They all want to impose
13:54
as Naomi Klene writes uh disaster
14:00
capitalism on them. They want to impose when they spoke about democracy, they’re not thinking about democracy. They’re
14:08
not thinking about the people or the will of the people. They mean capitalism. That’s all.
14:14
So it’s not a fully capitalist country. We want to topple the government. And
14:19
then they use human rights, they weaponize human rights, a facade in order to topple the government. Now,
14:29
democracy, do you realize that uh Venezuela
14:36
has local elections pretty much every year. It’s a bit like in Switzerland, they have referendum.
14:42
That’s true. I’m from Venezuel originally and they do have like it it
14:48
has a federal system. It it has obviously like national elections, sub elections and every other year it it has
14:56
democratic features contrary to to what the media say. And I’m um coming
15:02
originally from Venezuela, I used to be like living in the diaspora, I used to be kind of brainwashed into
15:09
the US corporate media propaganda until I started doing more research on it and
15:15
going back to Venezuelan realizing that there was a lot of punitive sanctions and measures as you mentioned that were
15:21
designed to destabilize it and impoverish it. And I want to go back to contemporary events. What were your
15:28
initial thoughts about the Delta Force raid against the Maduro government that led to his capture and what does it say
15:34
about international law? Now I will use Trump’s word
15:40
very professional. I must say shap they are very good. The
15:48
special forces are very good. The same as the Navy divers who blew up
15:54
Nordstream too. I mean these people know what they’re doing. They are good. Of
16:00
course it is a major war crime. It’s a major violation of international law. I
16:07
mean, you cannot go and kidnap uh the president of a country because you don’t
16:12
like him. And uh the pretext of course is uh drug trafficking. But drug
16:18
trafficking, you want to get somebody go get Noa from uh Ecuador or or or get the
16:25
Peruvian leader or get the I mean 70%
16:30
Well, Orlando Hernandez who just got pardoned. I mean 70% of the uh drugs uh goes
16:38
through the Pacific does not go through the Caribbean. Uh the uh 2025 report of
16:46
the UN office on drugs and crime
16:51
uh doesn’t even care about Venezuela. Venezuela is picatam is nothing. Uh
16:58
there’s very very very little drug trafficking coming through uh Venezuela
17:04
and certainly not from uh the non-existent cartel de los solles. the
17:10
trenda does exist. But again, the trend aragua, as I know from my visit to
17:17
Venezuela, as I know from information that I’ve gotten from the attorney general of Venezuela, I still have
17:24
contact with him for a very interesting and unusual reason.
17:29
uh TK William Sab uh the fiscal of uh
17:34
Venezuela happens to be a good poet and I used to be president of the pen
17:41
club here in Switzerland. I was president from 2006 to 2009 and again
17:47
2013 to 2017 and I’m also the president and founder of the United Nations
17:54
Society of Writers. Believe it or not, 36 years ago, I founded it. And every
17:59
year we put out a volume. We already put out volume 36, 160, 170 pages of uh
18:07
poetry and short stories and uh noletes. In any event, this guy TK
18:15
William uh Sab is a good poet in Spanish and I have a couple of his books and so
18:23
I correspond to him with him on those things too. But I also asked him say,
18:29
give me the figures. What’s the situation with drug trafficking in uh in
18:35
Venezuela? Of course, they have very robust legislation against drug
18:40
trafficking and they do u confiscate drugs whenever they’re found. They do
18:49
arrest, detain, try and put behind bars
18:55
whoever is engaged in uh drug trafficking. So Venezuela is certainly a
19:02
very anti-drug trafficking country and it can be demonstrated. But of course
19:09
Trump is post truth. He’s not interested in the truth. He just uses the truth of
19:17
human rights or whatever for the purposes that he has, which is to
19:23
exploit Latin America to turn the clock back to the days of absolutism, to the
19:30
days of uh uncontrolled imperialism and
19:35
colonialism, to the days of the Monroe doctrine, socalled. Now the Monroe
19:41
doctrine was already an anacronism back in 19 uh I mean in 1823
19:48
uh and it was just an act of imperialism to say Latin America belongs to us. You
19:55
know this is our backyard and uh we won’t have any Brits or French or Dutch
20:02
or anybody uh meddling uh with Latin America. Well, so far so good. But the
20:09
moment that the United Nations Charter entered into force on the 24th of October, 1945,
20:17
this became the world constitution. And uh the Monroe doctrine was rendered,
20:24
shall we say, null and void because the mono doctrine is domestic law.
20:30
International law according to the US Constitution, article 6 is superior to
20:36
domestic law. So international law treaties like the UN charter are the law
20:42
of the land meaning that the mandro doctrine can no longer uh be applied. That being the
20:51
case u shall we say the other presidents did apply the monro doctrine but they
20:58
were kind of discreet about it. Uh they didn’t brag about it. What is unique
21:05
with Trump is his brazeness, his vulgarity, if you want. I mean, like
21:13
he said with regard to uh Gustavo Petro, he’d better, you know, watch his ass.
21:19
Um, I mean, these are vulgar threats which you do not expect from a head of
21:26
state. I mean, he’s not behaving like a head of state. is behaving like a
21:34
spoiled child and like the bully of the street. And uh this is a disgrace for
21:40
all Americans. Actually, it it is a great pity for everybody
21:48
uh that we have this man as the representative of the American people
21:53
because the crimes of Mr. Trump will fall on the rest of us
22:01
and no matter how much you shout not in my name whether you like it or not
22:08
you’re an American citizen. So in a way you get the
22:16
splash uh of the negative uh backlash uh of
22:23
what uh Trump is doing. But to be very uh clear, what can we do about it?
22:31
We know from the security council meeting on Monday and the brilliant statement made by Professor Jeffrey
22:38
Stach, which I have it on my uh blog. If you go on my blog, you will find the
22:44
Jeff Saxs statement in full. As the case may be, it’s not a question of belly
22:50
aching. It’s not a question of saying uh we got a problem. Of course, we have a problem. We know that. But how do you
22:56
fix it? And how do you get the United States to stop its illegalities? Can be
23:02
done, huh? And not by force. Not by military forcing any event. It can be
23:08
done by not purchasing
23:13
any more American products like Boeing,
23:19
Rathon. Mhm. Loheed Martin. Don’t buy a single F16 or
23:25
a s single F-35 that cost billions of dollars anyhow.
23:31
Don’t buy American uh machinery. Don’t buy Caterpillars. Don’t buy Cadillacs.
23:40
Don’t buy Fords. I mean, there are plenty of good automobiles in the rest
23:45
of the world. Huh? Uh there are plenty of good trains and plenty plenty of uh
23:51
good uh machinery that you can buy elsewhere
23:56
doesn’t have to come from the United States or from the United States
24:02
appendix Israel. Again, I don’t know whether US is an appendix of Israel or Israel is an
24:08
appendix of the United States because I think here the the tail wags the dog. Um
24:15
and Trump has made us all complicit not only
24:20
in a kidnapping and in illegal uh piracy on the high seas and seizure
24:28
of uh of oil tankers and things that are totally legal. Uh but he’s made us
24:35
complicit in genocide. The United States has provided military, political, economic,
24:42
diplomatic, propagandistic support to a genocidal state. And the genocide goes
24:50
on and we are responsible for 80 years of ethnic cleansing in Palestine by
24:58
Israel. We have financed it. your tax dollars, my tax dollars have financed
25:06
the settlements in the West Bank. And it goes on and on and on. But unfortunately
25:16
the mainstream media, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street
25:21
Journal, but also BBC and the Frankfurt Algamon and Lemon uh
25:28
they’re all in the service of this quote elite unquote
25:34
uh that governs us. They’re all rooting
25:40
uh for the hgemony of the United States and they are actually accelerating
25:48
the decline of the empire because you can’t stop
25:54
the bricks, you cannot stop the uh belt and road initiative, you cannot stop the
26:01
Shangai uh cooperation association and uh the dillarization of the world is
26:09
on its way. It’s not overnight, but in the end, the dollar is going down the
26:15
drain. So, your savings are going down the drain. So, are mine. And uh in any
26:21
event, I mean, we would need someone like Jeffrey Sachs or like uh John
26:28
Mershimer uh in government who would actually
26:34
advise the president. I would love to see Jeffrey Saxs in the position of uh
26:40
secretary of state. I would love to see someone like uh John Mheimer being
26:47
national security advisor. Uh but again, it’s not going to happen. Not in the world we were living in. So
26:54
we have to see how we survive this period without entering into a nuclear
27:02
confrontation either with uh Russia or with China. Now
27:09
Russia has been rather restrained not withstanding all the provocations and
27:14
it’s only now yesterday I believe that they used for the second time an ornic
27:22
uh missile these hypersonic missiles with multiple uh warheads that spread.
27:30
Now, it’s a very powerful weapon which thus far has been used with conventional
27:39
uh look, but could be used with nuclear
27:44
lug. And uh let’s think about it. It’s not good for you. It’s not good for me.
27:49
It’s not good for humanity at large. So, when you have two nuclear powers uh
27:56
confronting each other, what you need is deescalation. I mean it’s complete
28:03
bankruptcy of our system. If we cannot
28:09
find a modus defending with the Russians, they exist. The Chinese exist
28:15
and they’re not going to go away. So, you know, what childish
28:21
fantasy does Trump have that makes him think that he
28:28
can uh order people around that he can uh intimidate the Russians or intimidate
28:33
the Chinese? I mean, these are different cultures and they’re rather patient at
28:40
that. They’re not overreacting. They don’t engage in megaphone
28:47
diplomacy. They look, they listen, they actually react
28:53
at their own timetable. They know what they can do and what they
28:59
should not do if it’s going to ultimately hurt them. So, they’re only
29:05
going to hurt us when it only hurts us and not them. So, uh, real quick, I know you have a conraint
29:13
like timetable, but do you believe multipolarity could be a force for good in terms of
29:21
returning of going back to sound principles of international law? Well, as I said, I believed in
29:28
international law all my life. I specialize on international law at Harvard Law School and uh one of the
29:37
reasons I left uh commercial law because that’s what I was doing at Simpson
29:42
Thatcher and Bartlett. Although it’s a great firm, huh? If anybody needs a good lawyer, go to Simpson Thatcher and
29:48
Bartlett. It’s a fantastic firm. And I must say my experience with my boss at
29:53
the time, I loved Joel Hoffman. I worked for for Joel and Joel used to work for
29:59
Cyrus Vance and I enjoyed that time very much. But I believe in international
30:05
law. It’s my thing is in is far more interesting to me than commercial law
30:11
like um murders and corporations. So that u international law is there.
30:20
The violation of international law does not create new international law. It
30:26
just shows that we don’t have an enforcement mechanism to punish the violator. But uh international law
30:33
remains there. We just have a crime that thus far has remained unpunished. But
30:39
that doesn’t mean it will remain unpunished forever. When I think of uh
30:45
probably doesn’t mean anything to you, uh Hans Frank, I don’t know whether that tells you anything. He was a minister of
30:51
justice in Nazi Germany and a supremely arrogant man. He considers himself to be
30:58
above law, above all law. And he ended up with a noose around his neck and hung
31:06
in Nurburg and he never thought that it would end up uh being hung himself,
31:12
minister of justice that he was. So, uh you don’t I don’t put it past uh shall
31:20
we say possibility that uh Trump will end his days behind
31:26
bars. I think that would be a good thing if Trump behave uh ends up behind bars. And
31:34
when I say Trump, I say also Pete Heg and uh Marco Rubio because they’re all
31:41
complicit. I mean, uh there’s no way that uh you can stay in a government
31:49
without resigning. Uh if you don’t want to be complicit in the
31:55
crimes being committed by uh Trump, you’d better bail out. You’d better say
32:01
I resign because that goes against international law. That goes against domestic law. Don’t forget article six
32:08
of the US constitution says that all the treaties signed by the United States
32:14
including the UN charter are the law of the land and uh that means that uh uh
32:24
Trump is violating the US Constitution by all of these things that he’s doing
32:30
and so you become complicit. So better. I mean, if I were Tulsi Gabbard, I would
32:35
leave. If I were um Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I
32:42
would leave. I would resign and say I cannot be part of this team because this team has become a criminal organization.
32:50
Keep that in mind. And the same thing goes for NATO. NATO had a reset as long
32:57
as you had wars and you had a very aggressive expansive Soviet Union that wanted to
33:06
come west and make everybody into communists. But the moment that the Soviet Union disappears and the moment
33:14
that uh the Warso act is dissolved, NATO should have been dissolved. And
33:21
what did NATO do? create an create artificially an enemy so that it
33:27
could continue ex existence but then it morphed from being a defense alliance
33:34
into a war coalition. So it became the war coalition of the United States that
33:41
would carry out aggression in Yugoslavia, carry out aggression, war
33:47
crimes, crimes against humanity in Afghanistan and then this revolt against
33:53
international law 2003, the uh invasion of Iraq and there as I
34:01
say Maduras lucky to be alive because Saddam Hussein also ended killed.
34:07
And u actually the orchestrated coup
34:12
against Hugo Chavez back in April 2002.
34:17
Uh that one the idea was to have Hugo Chavez eliminated
34:24
and uh Chavez was so popular in Venezuela that the army liberated him
34:30
within 48 hours and the Kureta petered out. But uh as I say Maduro at least
34:37
he’s alive and his wife is alive. They are going through a rough time
34:42
humiliation. His people have been humiliated. I think 56 people were
34:48
killed also in the course of the kidnapping. That of course is 56 murders
34:54
because if you kidnapped somebody in under domestic American law and you kill somebody in the course of the kidnapping
35:00
that’s murder. Murder first degree. Huh? Not second degree first. So uh that would carry in many states of
35:07
the United States uh the death penalty. By the way, I am against capital punishment. I think that capital
35:14
punishment is not very civilized. But talking about civilization, what is Trump doing is not only war on the
35:23
United Nations, war on uh the UN charter, war on international law,
35:31
war on civilization. We’re watching a civilizational collapse
35:38
in the collective west. We because we
35:44
finance genocide in Gaza. The Europeans because they also finance the genocide
35:50
in Gaza. And because we tolerate piracy and the high seas, we tolerate
35:58
kidnappings, international kidnappings, etc. And this reminds me of another,
36:05
if you are a lawyer, that will ring a bell with you. You probably have never heard of the doctrine malle captus
36:14
ben denus. It is an illegal capture
36:20
but it is fine and dandy for a trial
36:27
detentus. Good that we have him
36:32
uh detained so that we can try him. But that has actually
36:38
a second level, second
36:45
meaning. You realize that a judge is supposed to be there to
36:52
affirm justice. A judge, the function of a judge is to ensure that justice is done.
37:01
And how can he exercise jurisdiction over a case
37:07
if a greater crime has preceded that trial and the crime is
37:13
committed by the administration? If your own government
37:20
gets a person through an abduction and through killing 56 people,
37:28
you as a judge cannot say I will preside
37:34
over the trial of this individual who’s a victim of a kidnapping.
37:39
It it is contraum. It is a contradict in injectto
37:46
as the Romans used to say. Uh it is cognitive dissonance. How can you
37:53
possibly exercise jurisdiction over Maduro when he was brought into the
37:59
country illegally? But again, I am dismayed
38:04
at the near silence of the Europeans. The Europeans who used
38:10
to have an image of u respectful of international law, respectful of the
38:18
principle of due process, respectable of human rights.
38:23
Well, they’re bankrupt. The Europeans are morally bankrupt. And so
38:31
is the United States government. And I say government not the people because
38:37
thank God they are good people like Jeffrey Saxs
38:42
like John Merheimer like Steven Kinser like uh Dan Kovaleik
38:49
like the late Francis Bole in Illinois one of my great heroes um professor
38:56
Francis Bole as the case may be uh
39:02
it’s important to reaffirm our commitment to international laws. I said although I
39:10
see international law being attacked all the more reason uh to come forward
39:17
and defend it cuz we need it. We need the United Nations also if we didn’t
39:22
have the organization we would have to create something similar to it. And I thank the United
39:30
Nations for something way before you were born. October
39:36
1962, the Cuban missile crisis.
39:42
Without the United Nations, I think we would be here because uh
39:48
the confrontation of Krushchev and Kennedy, which was played out
39:56
uh in the United Nations with Adley Stevens on the third uh debating uh
40:03
Valeri uh Zurkin. By the way, I I I I met Valeri in my function as uh
40:10
secretary of the human rights committee. Uh in any event, uh without that giving
40:16
off of steam, this opportunity of publicly arguing your cases, I don’t
40:22
think you would have had uh a meeting of the minds. I think that one of the two
40:27
guys would have pressed on the red button and then we would be hit. So uh my fear is that Trump is a
40:36
megalomaniac and he is capable of pressing on the red button. I don’t have
40:42
any fear of Trump of u uh
40:47
putting uh Russian to a third world war. He knows what it means. The Russian
40:54
people suffered 27 million deaths in the Second World War. He doesn’t want a
41:00
rerun of that. But of course, if we have a nuclear confrontation,
41:06
then everything goes. The uh global north and the global south
41:12
and the east and the west all goes and um I suppose some cockroaches will
41:18
survive and some mice will survive. But uh I think we are cooked if uh we make
41:25
that crucial mistake. So that’s why I am uh a pacifist. That’s why I have always
41:32
been a pacifist. And I believe that what we need is diplomacy. We have to
41:39
rediscover diplomacy and negotiation and trying to go for a
41:45
modus vendi with the other fellow not to try to take advantage of the other
41:52
fellow. But as I say, we have and probably I don’t know cuz you probably had your education in the United States
41:59
also. I I went to high school in Chicago and in uh and in Boston etc. Well uh I
42:07
mean we were so indoctrinated into believing that we were the good guys by definition and that implies that the
42:14
other guys are bad guys. So I mean this kind of fantasy world in which we grew
42:20
up and the relentless propaganda uh that
42:25
we were fed uh in our early years. I mean it takes a while to wake up from uh
42:33
this shall we say selfserving um illusion uh that uh we have a mission
42:41
for the world to bring democracy and to bring uh human rights uh to the rest of
42:47
the world. We don’t. That’s something that we have invented and something that
42:52
serves not you not me. It serves the military industrial complex. And as you
42:58
well know uh the uh stocks uh of uh the
43:04
uh military um Rathon Boeing etc have all benefited uh
43:13
from uh Mr. uh Trump uh and his uh
43:18
bellosity illiteracy. So uh having said that I see the time is uh getting close to my next
43:27
interview. So if you have one last question quick. Oh no I think we covered sufficient
43:32
ground and I I think you brought some very good points about international law
43:38
Alfred because it’s very important that we stick to these principles. Yes. It’s very important to stick to
43:44
these principles or else we’re just going to be living under a law of the jungle type of environment. Anyways,
43:54
yes, agreed. Anyways, before we leave, where can listeners of the show follow your work?
44:01
Well, I have my uh website www.alfredesas.com
44:10
and then I have um uh my blog which is
44:15
desirealfred.wordpress WordPress and uh uh you will see it in my um email
44:24
to you. The both addresses are at the bottom under my name. It’ll have both the law the blog and uh the website. And
44:32
of course I write regularly for counter punch. So if you go on Google and you do
44:39
ZAS counter punch, you’ll get about 120 articles by me in the last two years and
44:46
you might find that uh amusing if nothing else.
44:54
Great. Thank you again for coming on to the show. Really enjoyed your insights. And for the audience, thank you for
45:00
listening. Be sure to subscribe, share, and stay tuned for more conversations on
45:05
global politics. Until next time, I’m Jose Nino.
45:10
Bye. See you.

Transkripzioa:
0:03
Chers amis, bonjour. Le monde est-il en train d’assesser à l’effondrement du
0:08
droit international tel que nous le connaissons ? sanction économique, menace militaire, ingérence politique,
0:16
impunité devant la justice pénale internationale, surtout la situation de
0:22
gazage de génocide mené pendant plus de 2 ans contre la population palestinienne
0:28
à Gaza. L’Amérique latine et en particulier le Venezuela se retrouvent aujourd’hui au cœur d’une confrontation
0:35
géopolitique majeure. Pour analyser ces événements et leurs conséquences sur
0:41
l’ordre mondial, nous recevons aujourd’hui un témoin clé et une voix
0:46
indépendante. Le professeur Alfred Des, ancien expert indépendant des Nations- Unies qui a
0:53
conduit une mission officielle au Venezuela et dénoncé l’impact des sanctions internationales sur les
1:00
populations civiles. Mon cher ami, mon cher camarade, mon cher professeur Alfred Days, merci d’être avec nous.
1:10
Bonjour Abdel Gelil, plaisir d’être avec toi mais la situation mondiale est
1:16
tellement chaotique que c’est difficile de ne pas être découragé surtout à cause
1:25
du silence des beaucoup de pays qui auront dû prendre.
1:32
Mais tout d’abord, il faut euh signaler que
1:39
il faut mettre comme on dit l’église au milieu du village euh en kidnapping
1:48
qui s’est euh passé à Venezuela une
1:53
violation flagrante de la souveraineté euh de d’un pays souverain. comme le
2:01
Venezuela. Alors, c’est grave mais gravissime
2:08
c’est un génocide. On ne peut pas euh comparer les deux
2:15
violations de droit international euh comme
2:22
en du même niveau. Ce qui est vraiment gravissime,
2:28
c’est cette révolte. contre euh la charte des Nations Unies,
2:35
cette révolte contre euh les droits internationales
2:41
coutumières contre euh tellement de
2:48
traditions diplomatiques. Et alors si vous voulez, c’est une
2:54
révolte contre la civilisation que nous sommes en train de euh observer
3:03
avec toute impunité. D’abord, il y avait
3:10
les violations des années 90 lorsque l’OTAN
3:18
a attaqué la Yougoslavie à plusieurs reprises.
3:23
une utilisation illégale de la force contraire à la
3:30
charte des Nations Unies en toute impunité
3:35
suivi par les crimes de guerre et les crimes contre l’humanité
3:40
euh de force euh de l’OTAN en Afghanistan
3:47
pendant 20 ans, entre 2001 et 2021.
3:55
Ensuite, la coalition de George W Bush 2003, l’invasion
4:04
de l’Irakus d’un prétexte complètement faux qu’on
4:10
savait que c’était faute à l’époque. cette histoire de armes euh de
4:19
destruction massive, je me rappelle Tony Blair de l’encre glateur qui avait parlé
4:26
que Saddam Hussein pouvait attaquer euh Londres dans 45 minutes, des choses
4:33
absurdes. Euh mais les médias,
4:39
la grande presse a dissémin de tels mensonges et ils ont
4:46
créé une atmosphère très béliqueuse à 2003.
4:53
Alors, une révolte contre le droit international, une révolte pas seulement des États-Unis, mais il y avait la
4:59
coalition de 43 étapes euh qui ont fait partie à l’agression contre l’Irak en
5:08
toute infité. Alors, qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ? Ce que les États-Unis, ce que monsieur Trump a fait en Venezuela
5:16
a toute une longue histoire. Il y a beaucoup de précédents
5:22
et la responsabilité est très partagée parce que bien sûr les États-Unis sont
5:31
l’État euh voyou numéro 1 dans le monde. C’est
5:38
l’État les plus dangereux, l’État les plus agressives contre le reste de
5:44
l’humanité. Mais il y a une euh
5:50
complicité parce que l’Europe a coopéré avec les États-Unis pendant
6:01
les agressions en Yugoslavie, en Afghanistan, en Irak, en Libye et
6:07
cetera. Et surtout les Européens
6:13
ont donné un appui militaire, économique, politique,
6:19
diplomatique, propagandistique à l’État d’Israël qui a commis
6:27
le crime ultime qui a commis euh il est en train de poursuivre
6:34
euh en génocide. Alors, la situation mondiale est
6:40
gravissime. Euh et je vois une culpabilité
6:47
à Ottawa, à Londres, à Paris, à Berlin,
6:55
à Rome. Alors euh il y a une perte euh de
7:03
crédibilité, une perte de autorité de la part des institutions
7:08
internationales. Euh bien sûr, le secrétaire général
7:14
Antonio Guterrez aurait dû appeler le génocides
7:20
en génocide comme mes collègues rapporteurs des Nations Unies ont fait.
7:27
Francesca Albanese en Georgius Catrogalos
7:32
etcilia Barilier et Nicolas Levin. Ils ont parlé
7:40
du génocide à Gaza. Ils ont aussi condamné
7:46
les dernières actions des États-Unis au Venezuela. Mais euh ni Antonio Guterrez
7:56
ni Folk Turc ont voulu parler
8:01
euh du génocide et ont voulu parler de kidnapping
8:09
de monsieur Madouro, c’est que c’est une
8:15
agression euh contre toutes ce qu’on avait acquis. qui
8:21
pendant un siècle. Alors, on était en train de bâtir un
8:28
monde euh de loi, un monde euh un ordre
8:34
international fondé euh sur la charte des Nations Unies et
8:41
fondé sur les traités adoptés par la plupart des États civilisés. Mais on
8:48
abandonne la civilisation. Euh on euh revient
8:55
euh au temps euh de la loi de la jungle,
9:02
on revoit euh renvoie
9:07
autant euh de l’absolutisme européen,
9:14
de l’impérialisme européen, du colonialisme
9:19
européen. avec la responsabilité la corresponsabilité
9:26
de K Starmer, de Emmanuel Macron, de Friedrich Mertz et cetera. Alors, quoi
9:32
faire ? Le monde euh s’il veut euh survivre
9:40
et on ne veut pas avoir une confrontation nucléaire. Et ça peut arriver hein, pas
9:47
seulement parce que une escalation pareille peut peut nous amener
9:54
à aux erreurs, erreur de jugement ou même
10:00
erreur euh digitale. Il y a toujours un danger euh que l’intelligence
10:09
artificielle va nous amener à la guerre nucléaire.
10:15
Mais je pense que il faut agir. L’assemblée générale,
10:23
vu que le conseil de sécurité d’Unis est bloqué
10:28
doit prendre sa responsabilité selon l’article 12. de la charte doit adopter
10:35
une résolution telle que la fameuse résolution 377,
10:43
la résolution Uniting for Peace euh qui donnera des compétences à l’Assemblée
10:50
générale à agir dans le domaine de la
10:55
paix et de la sécurité internationale. Alors, qu’est-ce qu’on peut faire ? On
11:01
peut appeler à tous les États au BDS
11:09
contre les États-Unis. Boycot divest
11:14
sanction. Les États peuvent sanctionner les États-Unis,
11:21
surtout doit boycotter les États-Unis du point de vue de tout achat
11:29
des armes. Alors, il y a une énorme industrie militaire aux États-Unis. Les
11:36
États-Unis vendent au reste du monde
11:42
des armes. Il vend de euh sous-marins,
11:48
il vend
11:54
le F35, ça coûte des milliards.
11:59
Alors, imaginez que un boycotte
12:04
est impossé par l’assemblée générale et que les
12:09
États font la suivie, c’est-à-dire euh tous les États africains, les États
12:17
asiatiques, les membres de Brick, les membres de Shanghai Corporation
12:23
Association et cetera et cetera arrête
12:28
de commerce avec les États-Unis, il n’achète plus de
12:34
F16 ou de F35. Il n’a fait euh achète plus Boeing,
12:43
Lockheit Martin, Ron. Il n’achète plus les gadgets digitals
12:52
des États-Unis. Il y a des très bons alternatives,
12:58
on peut acheter ailleurs. Euh et c’est pour ça que il faut toucher
13:04
euh l’économie américaine par un BDS
13:10
contre les États-Unis, mais il faut aussi arrêter à vendre aux
13:18
États-Unis. Je pense tout de suite de la Chine.
13:24
La Chine devrait arrêter immédiatement
13:29
toute vente de euh terre rare aux
13:35
États-Unis. Les Chinois ont presque un monopole sur
13:40
les terres rares. Les terres rares sont indispensable
13:45
pour l’industrie militaire américaine, pour la industrie digitale américaine,
13:52
pour toutes sortes de choses, même pour les iPhones. Euh la Chine est en mesure
14:00
de toucher l’économie américaine et elle devrait le faire.
14:08
Alors il faut faire monsieur Trump comprendre
14:16
que le monde n’accepte plus
14:21
son absolutisme, n’accepte plus
14:26
son impérialisme. Que professeur euh Day, permettez-moi
14:32
euh euh c’est bien cette idée de bocotter les États-Unis. Mais vous ne
14:38
pensez pas que aussi en en en tant que ancien notorité notorité euh des
14:45
Nations- Unies, ancien rapporteur, ancien expert, ancien missionnaire des Nations Unies que euh euh vous êtes en
14:53
tant que institution les Nations Unies responsables de cette situation de domination américaine de dériv
15:00
des livres américains aux États-Unis par exemple depuis 65 ans siège laité façon
15:07
d’une façon autoritaire et euh euh presque d’imposer un siège contre Cubat,
15:16
un siège qui a permis de tuer des milliers des femmes et des hommes et des bébés et et tout. Il a décidé sur les
15:24
bases des mensonges de détruire l’Irak, de détruire la Tunisie, de détruire la Libye au nom de la démocratie
15:32
en comparaison avec les les frères musulmans et et et tout.
15:38
On on sans oublier aussi le siège imposé contre le Liban, le la destruction, les
15:44
crimes contre l’Afghan euh Afghaniston, vous n’êtes pas responsable aussi de cette domination euh américaine.
15:53
professeur de comme je vous ai dit euh Antonio Guterrez
16:01
a fait très peu et trop tard
16:07
il parle des bouts de lèvres sur les
16:13
violations de la charte par les États-Unis mais il n’y a pas de suivi,
16:20
il n’y a pas d’action. Il n’a pas référé les affaires à la cour
16:27
pénale internationale ou à la cour internationale de justice.
16:33
Moi-même, je suis assez fâché euh contre
16:39
la Cour pénale internationale. mon organisation ici à Genève, la Geneva
16:46
International Peace Research Institute, nous avons présenté deux requettes.
16:54
Alors, deux euh euh
17:00
accusation de Ursula Funderl et de Kaja Kalas euh pour complicité
17:06
dans le génocide euh au Gaza. Mais il n’y a pas eu de
17:12
suivi. Alors, c’est-à-dire on a donné les informations qu’on prévu dans
17:17
l’article 15 euh de la du statut de Ram,
17:24
mais euh le procureur a une discrétion totale, c’est-à-dire il peut prendre le
17:32
cas où il peut ignorer le cas et il a préféré de l’ignorer.
17:40
Il y a eu euh de un collectif français euh qui a présenté
17:48
un cas au procureur de la Cour pénale internationale contre Emmanuel Macron.
17:54
Euh il a un collectif qui a présenté un cas contre euh la ministre Mélonie
18:02
italienne. Il y a un collectif allemand euh qui a fait du même
18:09
en ce qui concerne monsieur Mertz, mais euh le procureur n’a pas fait le suivi.
18:17
Alors, on ignore la démocratie, on ignore le monde et on
18:24
agit seulement contre les Africains. Il y a
18:31
toute cette série euh de jugements
18:37
d’anciens militaires, des anciens politiciens africains qui ont été condamnés par la
18:45
Cour pénale internationale, mais on n’a pas condamné les occidentaux.
18:51
On n’a pas même euh mis en investigation
18:58
euh sur George W. Bush et sur Mike Pompeo et sur Tony Blair et sur Paul
19:08
Wolfovic et tous les gens qui ont eu une responsabilité
19:14
pour des crimes de guerre et crimes contre l’humanité en Juggoslavie, en Afghanistan, en Irak,
19:22
en Libye et cetera. Alors, c’est-à-dire que la Cour pénale internationale
19:31
euh n’est pas conforme à son propre statut.
19:38
Euh, elle est complètement politisée et même la Cour internationale de
19:46
justice qui existe beaucoup plus long et qui a une histoire euh
19:53
assez respectable. Euh la Cour internationale de justice a
19:59
créé une jurisprudence crédible.
20:04
Euh mais qu’est-ce qu’elle a fait dans les cas euh Afrique du Sud contre
20:10
l’Israël ? Très peu. Euh elle a euh issu
20:16
quelques ordres qui ont pas été suivis euh qui ont été violés par Israël.
20:24
Mais où est le jugement ? Alors, on attend toujours. Alors, le cas
20:31
a été présenté par l’Afrique du Sud euh
20:36
en 2023. Il s’agit d’un génocide. Il faut une
20:43
décision juridique euh inextrême, ils font une décision
20:50
juridique euh vite. Alors, et qu’est-ce que la Cour internationale de justice a fait ?
20:58
Il y a 6 mois, lorsque Israël aurait dû
21:03
présenter des réponse à la Cour internationale de justice, la Cour a
21:13
donné à l’État d’Israël 6 mois de plus euh pour présenter son
21:20
mémorial euh 2026. Et tous ces temps-là,
21:27
les purations ethniques continuent, les bombardements continuent, euh les
21:34
tueries euh des civils palestiniens
21:39
qui euh vont chercher la nur et les médicaments et les aides humanitaires
21:47
sont tués. Alors, c’est une insulte contre euh les juges de la Cour
21:58
internationale de justice, mais euh le monde semble vivre avec soi, c’est les
22:06
new normal. Alors euh, on accepte que la
22:11
cour pénale internationale ne fonctionne pas. Euh nous nous acceptons que la Cour
22:18
internationale de justice euh ne fonctionne pas comme elle devrait
22:24
fonctionner. Euh qu’il y a un délai inacceptable
22:30
dans un cas de euh de génocide.
22:36
Et euh j’attends toujours en mot de Antonio Guterrez à ce sujet.
22:45
Euh et j’aimerais bien comme je vous ai dit au tout début début euh en BDS euh
22:52
contre euh les États-Unis euh organisé
22:58
par la société civile mais aussi par membres des Nations Unies, membres de
23:04
l’Assemblée générale qui devrait adopter tout de suite une résolution
23:14
qui condonne qui condamne les États-Unis pour violation gravissime des droits
23:22
internationales et qui demande aux États de boycotter euh l’industrie américaine,
23:31
d’arrêter d’acheter des armes des États-Unis et d’arrêter
23:39
à vendre des euh terres euh rares et des
23:45
terres stratégiques euh aux États-Unis. Et euh alors, on
23:51
espère euh qu’il y aura peu ou tard une
23:57
réaction du BRIX qu’il aura peu ou tard
24:02
une réaction de l’Union africaine, une
24:07
réaction de l’organisation pour la coopération islamique.
24:13
Mais c’est pas suffisant de le condamner.
24:19
des bouts de lèvres, c’est pas suffisant de faire de statements
24:26
à l’assemblée générale. C’est nécessaire de agir.
24:31
Et moi, je suis très déçu pas seulement
24:37
de Londres de Paris et de Berlin. Je
24:43
suis en tant que citoyen Suisse très déçu de Berne.
24:50
Je suis très déçu de l’attitude de Ignat Cassis et de la inaction suisse
24:58
euh en ce qui concerne le génocide Gaza ou la inaction Suisse en ce qui concerne
25:07
le Venezuela. Alors, j’attends. La semaine prochaine, le Sénat américain
25:17
va euh euh débattir en projet de résolution
25:24
pour euh restreindre Trump et pour interdire Trump de commencer une guerre
25:32
contre le Venezuela. Euh c’est même pas sûr que la résolution
25:40
va être adoptée, mais euh quand même, c’est un pas en avance que qu’on est
25:47
prêt à à discuter ça au centre du Congrès américain, il y a quand même
25:56
beaucoup de académiciens américains, des professeurs comme
26:04
Jeffre John Merheimer
26:09
comme euh Dan Kovalek comme Steven Ker, comme
26:18
Glenn Diesen euh qui ont fait des analyses très précises, très concrètes
26:25
euh sur euh la situation internationale, mais euh
26:33
c’est comme les clunges du euh du roi,
26:38
on le laisse parler, on le laisse publier leur livre,
26:43
mais on les ignore totalement. Alors moi euh je serais content
26:50
euh de voir Nations Unies euh mettre Jeffrey Sax
26:58
à la tête d’une organisation pour la paix euh au Moyen-Orient.
27:06
C’est quelqu’un qui est un grand économiste mais qui connaît euh le
27:12
terroir. Euh j’aimerais bien voir euh des
27:17
personnages euh comme John Mheimer en tant que National
27:25
Security Advisor des États-Unis. Mais
27:32
euh euh j’ai je rêve alors parce que euh il y a un
27:41
contrôle euh par euh le military industrial
27:46
complex aux États-Unis qui contrôle monsieur Trump. Euh
27:53
il n’y a personne rationale euh qui va être euh euh
28:03
nommé à à au camp ministère pour faire euh le
28:09
nécessaire. Alors euh si les instances
28:14
internationales n’agit pas, il faut que la société civile agisse et
28:23
il faut naturellement que les médias nous donnent la vérité.
28:31
La le grand problème aujourd’hui, c’est la guerre de l’information
28:38
et nous sommes euh
28:44
en lavage des cerveaux, nous sommes suivi à une propagande
28:51
euh quotidienne et les gens qui ont fait
28:59
euh pushback contre euh cet totalitarisme.
29:07
On était sanctionné. Alors, vous connaissez euh notre ami et collègue
29:14
euh Jacques Beau et il a écrit toute une
29:20
série de livres euh tel que euh gouverné par le fake news. Et vous connaissez le
29:28
livre ? Regardez une page quelconque.
29:34
Moitié de la page texte, moitié de la page note en bas de page.
29:42
Qu’est-ce que ça vous dit ? Mais mais Jacqu n’a pas été mais Jacqu professeur
29:48
Alfred Day n’a pas été n’a pas été sanctionné seulement par l’Union européenne. Jacques Pu a été aussi
29:55
étiqueté he par plusieurs plusieurs soi-disant euh des des intellectuels qui
30:03
disent “Écoutez Jacques Bou il défend la Syrie, Jacques Bou défend Poutine et
30:08
cetera. Malgré que ces intellectuels ou fausses intellectuels aussi se disent victimes de censure et tout hein, il y a
30:14
beaucoup hein soi-disant du gauche surtout du gauche qui se dit écoutez euh
30:20
c’est un le complotisme et cetera aussi cette ambiance de censure qui règne
30:25
aussi au niveau digital ou au niveau aussi soi-disant intellectuel en Europe hein en Europe et l’Europe le donneur de
30:33
leçons aux autres populations et cetera mais lorsquon on voit par exemple
30:39
le l’ambiance l’ambiance terrifiante qui règne en France et les cages le censure
30:46
les attaques contre soi-disant les intellectuels et cetera c’est quelque chose inquiétante je pense hein ce
30:53
déclin moral même dans les dans les milieux intellectuels entre parenthèses
30:59
intellectuel parce que parfois l’éthique non je je vois que l’Union européenne
31:08
et la plupart des intellectuels euh
31:14
européennes et les médias européennes euh sont
31:19
bankrotes en ce qui concerne la moralité.
31:25
Ils ont perdu euh leur euh direction
31:32
et je ne vois pas comment on va résoudre ces problèmes.
31:38
On peut résoudre ces problèmes avec la vérité, avec
31:44
des analyses sérieuses comme celle de Jacques B.
31:52
Mais vous voyez la réaction de l’Union européenne lorsqu’il y a quelqu’un qui
31:58
peut vous contredire, qui peut euh prouver que vous avez tort.
32:08
Et c’est ça que Jacques Bau a révélé. Il
32:13
a révélé c’est pas un complotiste, on accuse de complotisme. Tout au contraire.
32:20
Jacques beau nous ouvre les yeux. Jacques B, c’est comme un whistle,
32:28
comme un Julian Assange ou un Edward Snowen
32:33
qui euh nous fait voir les manipulations,
32:39
les terrorismes médiatiques
32:45
euh des organs de l’Union européenne et des médias euh euh
32:54
international. Alors euh c’est pour ça qu’on le l’a sanctionné.
33:01
Quelque chose qui a été condamné par beaucoup de mes collègues rapporteurs des Nations Unies. quelque chose qui a
33:09
été euh condamné par beaucoup de
33:14
intellectuels euh dans le monde. Euh mais euh les
33:20
organs qui devraient euh agir
33:27
euh jusqu’à maintenant n’ont rien fait. Alors, je pense que ce que
33:35
Jacques Bau a subi est une violation flagrante
33:41
de la charte euh européenne en des droits fondamentaux, des droits
33:49
des citoyens européens. Alors la
33:56
liberté d’opinion, la liberté d’expression, la liberté de recherche,
34:03
le droit à l’accès à l’information, euh c’est tout cela
34:10
qui a été euh censuré par l’Union européenne.
34:17
Et lorsque vous voyez les institutions créées
34:22
pour défendre nos droits, et sont exactement
34:29
ces institutions qui nous trahissent.
34:35
Alors ça nous amène à la question fondamentale
34:41
de Juvenalis il y a 2000 ans. La question
34:49
euh Chris Custodiets Custodes
34:55
qui va faire la garde euh sur les
35:00
gardiens. Si les gardiens vous trahissent,
35:05
qu’est-ce que vous reste ? Où est la protection euh des droits fondamentaux ? Où est la
35:13
protection euh des droits humains ? Où est la protection de droit à la libre
35:21
euh opinion et libre expression ? Alors, c’est vraiment gravissime
35:27
euh mais euh la culpabilité
35:33
euh est partagé euh par euh les intellectuels
35:40
euh et par eux euh qui euh pensent et
35:46
qui nous donne euh l’idée que l’Union européenne euh ne fait que du bien que
35:55
l’Union européenne est pour la paix. C’est une mensonge évidente. L’Union
36:01
européenne est pour la guerre. L’Union européenne et industrie européenne gagne
36:09
l’industrie militaire gagne énormément par la guerre. Tout a été corrompu.
36:19
Pas seulement aux États-Unis. aux États-Unis, il y a déjà très longtemps
36:24
que la situation euh est corrompue, mais en Europe, vous savez, il y a plus
36:31
de 50 ans que je suis devenu membre de la Pan Europa Union, euh j’étais en pan
36:41
européen, je croyais à l’idée
36:48
d’une paix en Europe grâce à une union des valeurs.
36:57
les valeurs européennes, les acquis
37:02
de la convention européenne euh des droits de l’arme, les acquis de la
37:10
jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme ont été détruites
37:18
par l’Union européenne elle-même, par la commission,
37:25
j’aimerais bien clôturer notre rencontre. Merci infiniment. C’est c’est pas facile toujours de de vous recevoir
37:32
puisque vous êtes agenda et chargé. J’aimerais bien clôturer notre parce qu’on
37:39
on arrive à la terme de notre rencontre. Aujourd’hui, la séquestration de Modoro
37:46
après pour quelle suite quelle est la situation juridique de Modoro ?
37:55
proches la cercle proche de Motoro on ont considéré on ont a considéré que
38:02
Modoro c’est un un c’est unage de guerre et quel suite juridique un d’après vous
38:09
de la situation de euh de prisonnier de prisonnier de cette guerre de cette
38:16
personnalité politique kidnappée Bon,
38:23
en kidnapping, c’est un crime dans le droit
38:30
euh domestique, dans le droit de tous les États, mais euh c’est bien plus grave lorsque
38:38
vous avez aussi une violation de la souveraineté
38:45
dans notre temps. Alors avec un tel acte
38:53
contraire à tous les règles euh des du
38:58
droit international de la diplomatie, alors on devrait rompre pas seulement
39:07
protester mais on devrait rompre des relations diplomatiques
39:12
avec les États-Unis et dire à Trump que on n’accepte pas
39:21
cette sorte de gangstérisme. Il s’agit euh de une action illégale
39:28
suivie par une autre action illégale suivie par une autre.
39:34
Alors euh on ne veut pas convaincre euh monsieur
39:41
Trump de se soumettre à la juridiction internationale.
39:48
Il ne se soumet pas à la juridiction de la Cour internationale de justice. Il ne
39:55
soumet pas à la juridiction de la Cour pénale internationale.
40:00
Au contraire, il il impose de sanctions euh contre les juges de la Cour pénale
40:09
internationale parce qu’ils ont osé euh toucher euh son pote euh Benjamin
40:17
Netarahu. Alors euh nous avons comme je vous ai
40:22
dit une révolte contre le droit international, contre la
40:30
charte des Nations Unies, contre la civilisation même.
40:36
Et ce qui m’aga silence le silence euh
40:43
des Européens qui sont complices, beaucoup d’autres crimes, le silence euh
40:52
de euh états de euh l’organisation
40:59
de la coopération islamique, le silence euh de
41:06
à euh l’Union africaine et cetera et cetera. Comme je dis, oui, on il y a ici
41:12
ou là euh en statement euh critique des
41:18
États-Unis, mais ça ne suffit pas de tout. Alors euh la situation est tellement
41:26
grave qu’il faut agir. Et je répète, BDS
41:32
contre les États-Unis. On peut pas continuer
41:38
business as usual et continuer à acheter de F16 et F35
41:49
euh du Pentagone et continuer à vendre de terres rares
41:56
aux États-Unis. Euh il faut vraiment euh prendre des
42:02
actions concrètes contre les États-Unis avec l’aval de
42:10
l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies. Je sais pas si vous avez eu l’occasion
42:16
d’écouter le débat au Conseil de sécurité euh le 5 janvier
42:24
dernière. Euh Jeffrey Sax a été brillant.
42:29
Euh il a été très complète. Euh il a signalé pas seulement euh
42:38
la violation de droit international dans le cas de Venezuela,
42:44
mais il a condamné tous les provocations et tous les
42:50
menaces contre la Colombie. contre les Danemark dans les dossiers
42:59
Grenland, contre le Mexique,
43:04
contre l’Iran, contre le Nigéria.
43:10
Alors euh monsieur Trump n’est pas l’empereur mondial.
43:15
Il faut lui faire très clair qu’on n’accepte pas
43:22
ses prétentions de donner des ordres au reste du monde.
43:28
Et puisque on n’accepte pas cette attitude impérialiste et absolutiste
43:36
de monsieur Trump, il faut absolument prendre des actions concrètes, des
43:43
actions qui vont faire du mal à l’industrie américaine.
43:49
Merci infiniment professeur Alfred Day, c’est un honneur toujours de vous recevoir. Merci infiniment. Euh je
43:56
espère vous trouver prochainement. Je vous invite mesdames monsieurs à interréagir avec les explications, les
44:02
thèses euh proposées par notre cher camarade professeur Alfred Des. Merci
44:09
professeur. Oui oui 24 Le 24 euh janvier, dans 2 semaines
44:15
euh je crois que notre ami Ilan Papé va parler à l’université ouvrière
44:21
à l’université ouvrière euh euh de Genève à partir de 18h. Professeur
44:27
Alfred Days sera le directeur scientifique de cette rencontre qui va
44:33
réunir professeur Alan Papé, professeur Raphaël Mison, professeur Raphaël
44:39
Portella, professeur Christophe Auerlain et euh aussi notre ami euh maître Rania
44:51
m’a dit autour de Gaza les répétitions au niveau international. Merci beaucoup
44:56
mon professeur et à bientôt. À bientôt. Merci.
oooooo
Geure herriari, Euskal Herriari dagokionez, hona hemen gure apustu bakarra:
We Basques do need a real Basque independent State in the Western Pyrenees, just a democratic lay or secular state, with all the formal characteristics of any independent State: Central Bank, Treasury, proper currency1, out of the European Distopia and faraway from NATO, being a BRICS partner…
