i wish the united nations ever success and happy center 5th anniversary thank you. and there we are listening to the ivory coast present allison a washrag giving his united nations general assembly address let's go to james bass who was also listening and what do you make of the speech james well i think the last bit was the most important because he was talking about the forthcoming election which is concerning many in the international community he said it would be peaceful and transparent would be conducted in a democratic environment and stressed again the economic and human progress he says the countries made under him he said it was one of the top performers economically in the world the reason there is concern is that there is a dispute over whether he should be running in the selection he's done his 2 terms as president he says that he had to change the constitution 2016 which allows him to run again he wasn't going to run again he said in march but he changed his mind after his preferred successor died suddenly the concern is history repeating itself go bac

nation by the united nations of a global humanitarian day 5000 workers have been attacked and 800 have been murdered in the last year was the deadliest. and i have a particular thought for. those young french men and women. within the organization acted working exactly in this framework in new share and who were killed in terrible conditions last august of. the united nations cannot remain in active in the face of this regression but this is why with french n.g.o.s and with our international partners we are building an initiative to ensure the effectiveness of international law the protection of humanitarian personnel and the fight against impunity and the humanitarian space is a common legacy that we have to protect by guaranteeing access for civilians and for that the personnel who support them to protection we have seen. here we've also seen the practices including by members permanent members of the security council. and acceptable action in particular in syria than each ality of humanitarian action needs to be respected and we must prevent it from being criminalized taking on our

role in the foundation of the united nations that we have played host you know to the u.n. for these 75 years most of the time the united states has taken an appropriate leadership. and may so again i mean i think this is one of the major questions that we confront here in the united states is the trumpet ministrations disdain of the u.n. kind of a temporary tangent and will you come back to a more conventional american foreign policy going forward all or or is the is the american retreat from its global responsibilities you know going to be something that lingers for the foreseeable future you know there are a lot of things that state you know here and in the american election but to obviously america's relationship with the u.s. as an institution and the rest of the world is one of those very significant questions that we face let's say joe biden wins the election and there is a new president in the u.s. how do you think the u.s. relationship with the u.n. will change then. well i do think this is this didn't mean it's a matter of degree but this is one of the primary dif

our strength to maintain and national peace and security there all of the united nations and standing for our shared values throughout the peace process is absolutely critical and we tank the united nations for their support so far 2 of this are due us crosses we thank the u.n. for their call for a global ceasefire. that all of the way and our international partners and allies will continue to be extremely important as our negotiating team sits across from the taliban in doing it those stocks that one people have a clear in urging a cease fire an urgent end of the violence will more than anything goes' give us a chance to progress i would like to keep this up the need to call on every member of the general assembly. and the permanent members of the security council to help us achieve that instate of a sovereign united in democratic of once that it peace with itself in the region capable of preserving expanding the gains of the last 19 years a democratically stable and prosperous of ones will be an example of how our collective will can overcome the turmoil in that certainty that defin

sanctions or no sanctions an unprecedented division at the united nations is seen as a diplomatic victory by iran iran's president seemingly mocking the recent us defeats at the security council. in the game today we can say the u.s. policy of mixed member less cool and legal pressure against the iranian nation has turned into mex member isolation for the united states. but if the u.s. stops iranian vessels to enforce sanctions this was a warning from iran. if the u.s. wants to use resolution $199.00 to inspect raney and ships based on international laws is considered piracy and will be dealt with and the united states will be held responsible for the consequences. and it's here any response would likely be carried out the strait of hormuz one of the busiest shipping routes in the world with 20 percent of the world's oil passing through u.s. warships and water mains are based in the region in an already tense environment iran's conservative majority parliament is considering further action against the u.s. if they re impose sanctions. on iran there are various ideas in iran in among lawma

united nations security council has accepted the decision of the united states and this is actually the opposite but what actually happened last month that you know that it failed 2 times in both in their own we'll in the united nations security council and to a. separate body i mean the representative of the european union in foreign policy but i have a. french joint communication from their money and you can make it clear that you don't is going to do whatever they want i mean united has gone to the bay of rainbow this auction about $30.00 but the united nations are going to consider a great project that option. so this declaration is i think it's more than that to a. consumption front on a public rather than from the international. scene area because nobody really paid attention to what just they did yesterday ok so russia and china don't agree with the u.s. you possibly expect that what about the e.u. though why doesn't the e.u. see eye to eye with the u.s. on iran. well i mean i think one of the main issues here is that they were up you know it was one of the main combiners of this

at the united nations russia and china would have vetoed it that was iran's understanding but also he thanked those members of the security council of those member states that stood up to the united states and don't want those sanctions remain poles and this is an unprecedented division at the united nations and iran is really capitalizing they see this as a diplomatic victory. this diplomatic battle has been going on for a while now and the united states is internationally isolated and iran feels that the odds are stacked in its favor but what iran does next very much depends on what the united states does to impose those u.n. sanctions or they are back in place everyone else disagrees but united states thinks that they are so whatever the united states does iran will respond and the rhetoric coming out of the one is that that response will be decisive against the united states and the really issued some warnings ok and then as issued warnings what options though disturbed actually have should the u.s. start making. well if the united states start stopping iranian ships which is a co
