00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio.

<v Speaker 2>Welcome to policy and rights show us. Welcome to policy

3
00:00:28.800 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>that human joy. Welcome the policy right here in Depictings

4
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Media Radio and your host Michael Floggs. You know, just

5
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the other day I got I saw this post on

6
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>social media talking about how Donald Trump has done such

7
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a great job at limiting war, ending wars and such

8
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>things as he has done things to end wars between

9
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>India Pakistan, that he has done things to bring about

10
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the cease fire between Israel and in Iran, and how

11
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>he is putting for the peace between Russia and Ukraine.

12
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>And what a great job he's doing because President Joe

13
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Biden could not have done these the only Donald Trump

14
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>could have done it. And why is this news isn't

15
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 2>reporting on his success stories and bringing about more peace

16
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>and bringing war to an end on our planet, bringing

17
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>about the end of some of the imperialism attitudes that

18
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>have brought about these wars. Well, here we have it, Okay,

19
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>So as it turns out they do did this stops

20
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>up in the in the news recently dead and within

21
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of days as I'm recording this, that

22
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>uh Iran once again fired missiles against Israel. That the

23
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 2>peace and tease fire that Don Trump is talking about

24
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>may not be so peaceful. That Israel and Pakistan they

25
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>have called the fighting for a little bit, but because

26
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>because the actual problems that exists between Israel in Pakistan,

27
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>it could pop right back up again. And that that

28
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>is this little little country called Kashmir right right now,

29
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's known as the territory, but at

30
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>one time it was its own country. Sovereign countries and

31
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>its role in Pakistan have been in a tug of

32
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>war over this particular territory for quite a number of years,

33
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>and its the tug of war turned into actual military action.

34
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Who who is has the right to dictate what Kashmir

35
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>actually does? And with these people, however they are going

36
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>to live, who's going to govern them? So we still

37
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>have that out there. Part of the reason why Iran

38
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>has launched as like against Israel is over Gaza, which

39
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>has not been settled yet. That there's still an ongoing

40
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>tension between Palestine and Israel, and most of it has

41
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>to do with Palestinians went their freedom away from the colonialism.

42
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>That is cause that has caused Israel some of these

43
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>people were in the nineteen forties, their families were sent

44
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>into sent away from Palestine, and we're turned into refugees

45
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>sent to Lebanon two because they were bringing Jews from

46
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the concentration camps as they were being liberated during World

47
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>War at the end of World War Two into the

48
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>area that lives in which is now a totally completely

49
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Jewish state. It is the government. It is a government

50
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 2>based on Judaism, the same as Iran's government is based

51
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>on Israel. The leadership there as much okay well, in

52
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>order to help quell the idea of Israel. At one point,

53
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>the United States had negotiated and helped put in place

54
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>a government in Iran that was agreeable with Israel and

55
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>made Israel in Iran's allies. The regime that we're talking

56
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 2>about that we keep hearing people like Danny Dannon talk about,

57
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>falls away from that friendliness. That there is a directive

58
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 2>that asks for the end of the colonialism and helps

59
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the Palestinian people get to their homes back from nineteen

60
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>from the nineteen forties, away from the colonialism that actually

61
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>built Israel. It isn't about necessarily as much about Hey, Palestine,

62
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 2>we're Palestine we don't ever want to share our land

63
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>with these Jews because the Palestinians, if you scroll it

64
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>back enough tim into the Roman Empire, you discover that

65
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>there will always those people living in Palestine because that

66
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 2>was a Jewish colony created by the Roman Empire. All right,

67
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to hear a lot more about about

68
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 2>that and other issues. But because we're going to hear

69
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 2>from Francine alban Age as he is speaking to the

70
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>as a special repertoire to the Human Rights CANCIL, that's

71
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>part of the amazing and her she is an expert

72
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 2>on what is actually happening between is your own in

73
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Palestine and what is happening in the Middle East as

74
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>far as human rights is concerned. Some of them remember

75
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>this that ultimately, what do you have when we're talking

76
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>about the situation with war is a lot of times

77
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.759
<v Speaker 2>we have a government that is doing things they're saying

78
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that they're trying to protect the people, which we took

79
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 2>very well. We trow we're not going to we're not

80
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>going to dispute that. If we are going to dispute

81
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:17.959
<v Speaker 2>is that are they always doing things that the people

82
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>themselves either one know about or would agree to. Most

83
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>people aren't worried about sending someone to go in Israel.

84
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>People in Israel aren't necessarily in agreement or or or

85
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>are they paying attention to Israel. Sending troops to Iran

86
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is firing nipples back and forth, other than the fact

87
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 2>that they can see the nipples being fired and back

88
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 2>and forth. When you live in a very small country,

89
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 2>you get to see a lot of things happening and

90
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the direct result of these things. So but basically, when

91
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>you get down to it that most people on this planet,

92
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>all they simply want to do is live a good life,

93
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 2>have to be surrounded by those people that they love,

94
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 2>and they want to keep those who they love comfortable,

95
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>face and healthy. And that's where the whole idea of

96
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>human rights comes about, because if once you're protected, protect

97
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>those rights so that people in general can have a healthy,

98
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>safe life with their family and friends and those that

99
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 2>they love. So why don't we move forward. We're going

100
00:09:50.879 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>to hear from Planting Albanis as he talks about the

101
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>value of human rights in areas of course like Palestine

102
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 2>and Israel, and we're also going to going back to

103
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>their Canada again. We're also going to hear from the

104
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Federal Minister for as I again talking about things like

105
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:39.759
<v Speaker 2>climate change, the Federal Minister of Energy UH Tim Hodginson

106
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 2>as he announced an investment into an Alberta based carbon

107
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>capture project that will help keep our environment safe. And so.

108
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Good afternoon everyone, and then thank you for joining us

109
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 3>at the press briefing today. Our speaker today is Miss

110
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Francesca Albanisi. She is the Special Rappertor on the situation

111
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 3>of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since nineteen

112
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 3>sixty seven. The Special Rapeta just presented her report to

113
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 3>the fifty nine session of the Human Rights Council titled

114
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 3>From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide. We will

115
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 3>begin with brief opening statements from the Special Rapeta and

116
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 3>she will then take questions over to you, Miss Abanese.

117
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much and good afternoon everyone. Mondo and

118
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 4>those who are here and those who are following this

119
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 4>press conference from AFAR. And I'm sure you have heard

120
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 4>or read through my report, the Malast Report, that reveals

121
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 4>how corporate profit eating a monetary gain as enable then

122
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 4>legiti timized Israel's a legal presence and auction in the

123
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 4>Little that remains of historical Palestine, occupied Palestine and territory.

124
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 4>What I'm going to tell you paints a very grim

125
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 4>picture in many respects. I could have written this report

126
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 4>two years ago and it would have been a fair

127
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 4>exposure of the economy of the occupation made of two pillars,

128
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 4>a pillar of displacement, a pillar of replacement, held together

129
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 4>by an ecosystem of enablers, from financial actors to institutional

130
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 4>knowledge production actors like universities and even charities. So the

131
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.080
<v Speaker 4>system is such that today I say Palestine is a

132
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 4>crime scene, and actually if it were a crime scene,

133
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 4>it would have the fingerprints of all of us through

134
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 4>what we purchase, which company we choose to ensure our

135
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 4>as an insurer for our car or our home, and

136
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.960
<v Speaker 4>the banks where we put our money, the investments we make,

137
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 4>and so on and so forth, and even universities where

138
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 4>we go where we teach, which we are of which

139
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 4>we are alumni, including those whose silence silence debate around

140
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Palestine claiming that there is not enough balance when denouncing genocide.

141
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, both me and Agnes Kalamara for

142
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.799
<v Speaker 4>what concerned the appalling decision of the University of Bern

143
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 4>not to host a debate. I mean, we were open

144
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 4>to the university to invite any PROSCO pro chinocide scholar.

145
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 4>They could find. It's their decision just to silence the debate. However,

146
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.039
<v Speaker 4>if the genocide has not stopped, it's not just because

147
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.559
<v Speaker 4>there was there has always been an economy.

148
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 5>Of the occupation.

149
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 4>It's because the economy of the occupation has turned into

150
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 4>an economy of genocide. And so there have been people

151
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 4>and organizations that have profited from the violence, the killing,

152
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 4>the maiming, the destruction in Gaza and in other parts

153
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 4>of the occupied Palestian territory. Because it's not that the

154
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.799
<v Speaker 4>Palestinians in the West Bank and It's Jerusalem are having

155
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 4>the happiest time of their life as we speak. In

156
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 4>the past twenty months, while the Israeli army and accompanied

157
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.600
<v Speaker 4>by settlers was devastating Palestinian lives and landscapes, the Tel

158
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Aviv stock exchanged sword by two hundred and thirteen percent.

159
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 4>I must sink over two hundred and twenty billions in

160
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 4>market gains, including seventy six point eight billion US dollars

161
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.000
<v Speaker 4>in the past month a loon. So clearly, for some

162
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 4>genocide is profitable so what has happened is that the

163
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 4>infrastructure that was profiting from the economy of the occupation

164
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 4>has transformed and assisted Israel in this evolution. The report

165
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 4>I just presented builds on a database of over one

166
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 4>thousand entities that I didn't have the time to investigate

167
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 4>with the depth and to analyze from a legal point

168
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 4>of view with the rigor that I have for forty

169
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 4>eight companies along with their parents, subsidiaries, franchises, licensees, and

170
00:15:55.039 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 4>consort partners across the sectors. However, if you read this

171
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 4>report as a list, as another database, which this doesn't

172
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 4>my report doesn't intend to be, I would have failed.

173
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 5>I would fail.

174
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 4>My report exposes a system, something that is so structural

175
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 4>and so widespread and so systemic that there is no

176
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 4>possibility to fix it and redress it.

177
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.200
<v Speaker 5>It is to be dismantled.

178
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 4>And you know, had businesses and had the corporate sector

179
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 4>observed due diligence, had Eon or its commitment to do

180
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 4>due diligence even before October seven, twenty twenty three, he

181
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 4>would have disengaged completely and totally from its entanglement with

182
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 4>Israeli economy. Because, first of all, it's a fiction that

183
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 4>there is a line dividing separating the good Israel within

184
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Israel and the bad Israel in the occupied territory.

185
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 5>No, the economy is one.

186
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 4>Israel's economy is one and one only and encapsulates the colonies.

187
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 4>The colonies do not exist because some fringy part of

188
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:19.559
<v Speaker 4>the Israeli society is pioneering into the wild wild West Bank. No,

189
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 4>it's because this is resolving the housing crisis in Israel.

190
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 4>These people leave and try and within a system that

191
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 4>is so connected that it's part of the Israeli state.

192
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 4>And also this is this is you can see that

193
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 4>evidently when you look at the water grid on the

194
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 4>electricity greed, the occupied Palestine and charity does not exist

195
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.799
<v Speaker 4>as separated from Israel. So I mean, member SAIDs can

196
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 4>continue to reassure themselves that they might al alimit prevent

197
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 4>settlement goods from circulating in their markets.

198
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 5>But this is not enough.

199
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Actually, it's just another it would be another phase saving solution.

200
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Because excuse me, when sanctions were imposed on appartheid South Africa,

201
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 4>was it because of the crimes that and the violence

202
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 4>and the racism and the discrimination and the upper tide

203
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 4>that South Africa was imposing on its non white population,

204
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.440
<v Speaker 4>or for just what South Africa was doing in the

205
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 4>band to stand. Do you understand the performance of stupidity

206
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 4>that we have all been part of for decades and

207
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 4>now it's the time to stop. If sixty thousand people

208
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 4>killed do not push us to take in seriously international obligations,

209
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 4>then we really really beyond the pale. So here's what

210
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:53.680
<v Speaker 4>I conclude. There is no possibility, no possibility to stepping

211
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.599
<v Speaker 4>out of this situation other than for Member states to

212
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 4>do with the International Court of Justice dem MANS, through

213
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 4>its ruling and through its provisional measures, imposing an arms

214
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:10.480
<v Speaker 4>embargo immediately. It's not about asking for fire. This is

215
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 4>not a war. This is a general sidal campaign and

216
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 4>it's clear and now it's cider carried out under the

217
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:21.079
<v Speaker 4>pretense of humanitarian food distribution. This is a death trap

218
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 4>and we should learn really to be honest, including yourself.

219
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I've been really, really generous to the media

220
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 4>because the first corporate entity to be mistigated in this

221
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 4>mandate was yours and it will come.

222
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 5>But again, now it's time for an.

223
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Arms arms embargo, and it's time for businesses to cut

224
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:44.079
<v Speaker 4>ties with the very fact of engaging in something that

225
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 4>concerns and translates in the economic gain and profits. It's problematic.

226
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Less companies and their executives are ready to face responsibility

227
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.519
<v Speaker 4>and even criminal liability.

228
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Thank you, Special Rappetave. She will now take questions.

229
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.480
<v Speaker 6>We'll start in the room. Uh, this go ahead.

230
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:10.880
<v Speaker 7>Thank you.

231
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 8>The forty eight companies that you name in your report,

232
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 8>is there anything that you think the customers of those

233
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 8>companies ought to be doing?

234
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 9>Thank you?

235
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 1>Sorry I should have said before.

236
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.839
<v Speaker 6>We're going to take about four questions at a time,

237
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.480
<v Speaker 6>and the Special Rappetive will get to each one sequentially.

238
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, please and the monserity understand just as.

239
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 2>This is all.

240
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, would you like to repeat your question?

241
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.079
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm sorry I was disrupted. I'm sorry I was

242
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 5>disrupted because apparently I sported.

243
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 4>A number I have someone I have not desired dyslexia

244
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:30.960
<v Speaker 4>in numbers, and I said, seventy seventy six billion. This

245
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 4>is what has been unmassed in one month. No, it's

246
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 4>sixty seven billions.

247
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 5>I read.

248
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 4>I apologize. So what should consumers of these companies do?

249
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I would like to clarify that the

250
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 4>first responsibility is not on the consumers. I mean, of course,

251
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I think that we should be We should wake up

252
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 4>and realize that we are part of a system where

253
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 4>we are all entangled, and choices that we make in

254
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 4>the u k. Or in Switzerland have an impact elsewhere

255
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 4>in Congo and in Palestine, for example. So this is

256
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 4>it's good to be conscientious, but the first the first,

257
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 4>and so it's important today to listen to uh those

258
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 4>in the civil society, the scholars, the lawyers, investigative journalists

259
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 4>who have exposed the entanglement of the companies we are

260
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 4>clients of.

261
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 5>With the occupation.

262
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.519
<v Speaker 4>But the first responsibility remains with member state and then companies.

263
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.319
<v Speaker 4>So companies who do not divest should be held accountable.

264
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 4>I do think that there is a possibility for consumers

265
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 4>to hold that this company is accountable because we somewhat

266
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 4>we we vote through our wallet, right and therefore, probably

267
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 4>this year, it's the most modest contribution not to support

268
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 4>the the erasure of Palestine is stopping normalizing the occupation

269
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 4>by a clique. So let's choose other ways to plan

270
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.640
<v Speaker 4>our holidays that Booking dot com and Airbnb, because they

271
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 4>have normalized the occupation with a clique they continue even

272
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 4>at this time to advertise nice neighborhoods in settlements. Settlements

273
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:31.839
<v Speaker 4>are stolen land and profiting profiteering from the gains made

274
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 4>in this way, my amount of money laundering, and certain jurisdictions.

275
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.480
<v Speaker 4>So we we have to choose better. But again many

276
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 4>responsibility states and companies.

277
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, I think, Please state your name and organization. Ask

278

366
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 7>Okay, yes, thank you very much. My name is Satoko Dachi.

367
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:25.079
<v Speaker 7>I work for Japanese Dately newspaper, Your mute symbom, could

368
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:28.320
<v Speaker 7>you give us a sense of how many percent of

369
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:34.239
<v Speaker 7>the Israeli working population is engaged in either the economy

370
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.360
<v Speaker 7>of occupation or the economy of genocide.

371
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

372
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I've not investigated that, but approximately the

373
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 4>entire population.

374
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Or Israeli Work Federation Sorry, probably I didn't understand.

375
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:56.480
<v Speaker 7>You didn't okay, I repeat my question. I just want

376
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 7>to get a sense of the how many percent of

377
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:06.000
<v Speaker 7>the Israeli walking populations engaged in either economy of the

378
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.639
<v Speaker 7>genocide or the economy of occupation?

379
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 5>Can you hear me?

380
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 11>So?

381
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:26.199
<v Speaker 4>Looking at the at the surveys, I can tell you

382
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:29.920
<v Speaker 4>there is still a lot of support, ideological political support

383
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 4>for the choices the Israeli government is taking when it

384
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:39.239
<v Speaker 4>comes to making when it comes to to Gaza, the

385
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 4>West mank and is Jerusalem.

386
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 5>While there are there are brave.

387
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Israelis and international activists the only ones to stand with

388
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:52.559
<v Speaker 4>their own body in between the soldiers, the armed settlers

389
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.400
<v Speaker 4>and the Palestinian villagers attacked. The majority is either inactive,

390
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.360
<v Speaker 4>indifferent or the There is a significant part of the

391
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 4>population which supports the most settled, colonized, colonization driven government.

392
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:14.039
<v Speaker 4>More explicity, colonization driven government that has ever.

393
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.719
<v Speaker 5>Led the state of Israel.

394
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:23.599
<v Speaker 4>How many participate benefits from the economy in a state

395
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.960
<v Speaker 4>where there is not one sector other than the NGOs

396
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 4>that stand against occupation or crimes abarthide I cannot tell you,

397
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:38.519
<v Speaker 4>but again today we should, as I said, we should

398
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:42.920
<v Speaker 4>stop looking at Israel and occupied Palestine and territory as

399
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 4>if there were two different entities. And this is why

400
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 4>I call for sanctions to be imposed on the States.

401
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.800
<v Speaker 4>And this is something that hopefully would lead to an

402
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 4>awakening of the of the Israeli society itself. And I

403
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.960
<v Speaker 4>resent the limited and I have with this society. And

404
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 4>I want to make the point that the few times

405
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.920
<v Speaker 4>I've been asked for an interview by ISRAELITYVASE then have

406
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 4>been canceled. I've been available even when they were late,

407
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.119
<v Speaker 4>and then they're canceled, So there is no possibility for

408
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 4>me to pass these messages. But I do firmly believe

409
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:24.239
<v Speaker 4>that Israeli society is also with very different sents of responsibility.

410
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Part of the I mean victimized by these apartheid because

411
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:33.480
<v Speaker 4>they are indoctrinated to a point of dehumanizing the Palestinians

412
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:37.320
<v Speaker 4>and not recognizing them as their peers. And this is

413
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.039
<v Speaker 4>unfortunately a state endeavor that comes from Afar.

414
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. We're just going to move to some questions online.

415
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 5>We have you read, yes, thank you.

416
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:54.440
<v Speaker 12>I have two questions, if possible, so the first one

417
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:58.760
<v Speaker 12>will be about the fact that the US administration it

418
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 12>seems that they're training to have you out from your mandate.

419
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 12>Some US medias say that the Trump administration sent an

420
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.119
<v Speaker 12>official letter to the Secretary General in order to have

421
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.400
<v Speaker 12>you out. Do you have any comments on that and

422
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:18.760
<v Speaker 12>is it true? Because from now we have this only

423
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:26.159
<v Speaker 12>through media. And my second question is regarding the creation

424
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:31.400
<v Speaker 12>of a special tribunal for Israel. Is it something that

425
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:36.599
<v Speaker 12>you will support if it will be pushed by different countries, because,

426
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.000
<v Speaker 12>for example, when it comes to Ukraine and Russia, the

427
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 12>western countries are the first that want the creation of

428
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:48.719
<v Speaker 12>a special tribunal. Do you see a kind of volunteers

429
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 12>from these same countries when it comes to Israel? And

430
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:52.920
<v Speaker 12>do you think that it can happen one day?

431
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I I serve with a lot of pain and sacrifice

432
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:10.960
<v Speaker 4>this mandate upon requests of the Human Rights Counsel. Not

433
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 4>just what happened last in the last three months. The

434
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 4>fact that the Council embraced without challenging it, the decision

435
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.599
<v Speaker 4>of the the finding of the Coordinating Committee that I

436
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.079
<v Speaker 4>have not acted in violations of the could have conduct

437
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:32.119
<v Speaker 4>was reassuring because the only thing I wanted to do

438
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.000
<v Speaker 4>three months ago, after engaging so much of my of

439
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 4>my time, and sacrificing so much of my own life

440
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:46.440
<v Speaker 4>to serve this mandate with honesty and integrity. I really

441
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.440
<v Speaker 4>wanted to present this report because I knew that I

442
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:55.199
<v Speaker 4>really believe that while yeah, member States are aware, are aware,

443
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:59.679
<v Speaker 4>and people are aware of the violations, it's difficult to

444
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:04.760
<v Speaker 4>see the system and many are genuinely.

445
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:06.880
<v Speaker 5>Surprised of this picture.

446
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.880
<v Speaker 4>What I shared and what reassures me, is that what

447
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.360
<v Speaker 4>I've seen today in that room at the Human Rights

448
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Counsel is something I've never seen. Forget the applausus, I mean,

449
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:24.719
<v Speaker 4>but I've never seen such an almost what we will

450
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:29.480
<v Speaker 4>support an endorsement for my mandate before. So yeah, I

451
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:34.960
<v Speaker 4>accept that there might be some divergent views, and we

452
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 4>can live with the fact that we agree to disagree. I'm,

453
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.719
<v Speaker 4>as you, an a special repperteur, and I should be

454
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.559
<v Speaker 4>respected as such. If any Member States as issue with it,

455
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.320
<v Speaker 4>they can talk to their colleagues in the Human Rights

456
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Council and the creation of a special tribunal. Look, I

457
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 4>do believe that justice is absolutely necessary. I've often said

458
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.360
<v Speaker 4>that while the we have international courts, we have the

459
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:05.840
<v Speaker 4>International Criminal Court, we have the International Court of Justice,

460
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.719
<v Speaker 4>we also have universal jurisdictions over the crime of genocide.

461
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.440
<v Speaker 4>And I do imagine the Palestine trials. I mean, people

462
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 4>sometimes ask me, do you imagine the Palace the Nuremberg

463
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.519
<v Speaker 4>trials for Palestine. Yesess, I imagine the Palestine trials, which

464
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:26.760
<v Speaker 4>would be the full realization of justice across the border,

465
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.960
<v Speaker 4>because crimes are across the border. Human rights violations clearly

466
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:34.719
<v Speaker 4>show that there are responsibilities across the border, and therefore

467
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:41.519
<v Speaker 4>I want to see lawyers and practitioners Barris Tears and

468
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:46.880
<v Speaker 4>he invested in supporting civil society and work with judges

469
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:51.639
<v Speaker 4>and prosecutor to believers some justice. I'm not given thoughts

470
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:56.000
<v Speaker 4>yet consideration myself to the idea of a special tribunal.

471
00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 4>While I do think that the question of Palace time

472
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.280
<v Speaker 4>is so big, it is so overwhelming the injustice that

473
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:09.039
<v Speaker 4>the Palestinians have experience, which doesn't take anything away the

474
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:14.800
<v Speaker 4>from the injustices that the Jewish people have endured and

475
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.320
<v Speaker 4>suffered for centuries, which is also what triggers some moat

476
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:23.880
<v Speaker 4>and entered into Palestine. But never one justice, one injustice

477
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:30.840
<v Speaker 4>as as justified another injustice. So now it's the time

478
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:34.000
<v Speaker 4>to look at what for seventy seven years, actually for

479
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker 4>one hundred years the Palestinians have endured, and probably one

480
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:41.639
<v Speaker 4>adult mechanism would make sense. However, however, I also know

481
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:49.840
<v Speaker 4>that accountability per se, retributive justice, and even political solutions

482
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.599
<v Speaker 4>that take into account realize the rights and freedoms of all,

483
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.519
<v Speaker 4>because this is the only solution that I that I see,

484
00:42:56.559 --> 00:43:00.400
<v Speaker 4>the only political solution that I see as necessary and vabull.

485
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Then it will be up to the Palestinians and Israelis

486
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:05.639
<v Speaker 4>to decide in what form of state. Thirty three years

487
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 4>later the beginning of the this process, they want to

488
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:11.960
<v Speaker 4>live in one state to state states, It's up to

489
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:16.320
<v Speaker 4>them to decide. However, However, I also think that the

490
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 4>world that particularly my part of the of the world

491
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:25.239
<v Speaker 4>struggles with and it's very necessary both for the Palestinians

492
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:29.880
<v Speaker 4>and Israeli, is healing, healing. There is a huge sense

493
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:36.199
<v Speaker 4>of trauma and probably we can't even reckon the depth

494
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.320
<v Speaker 4>of it right now, as the Palestinians in Gaza will

495
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:46.599
<v Speaker 4>have to survive, will have to be helped recover from

496
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.840
<v Speaker 4>what they have suffered, and they will need all our humanity,

497
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:56.199
<v Speaker 4>all the humanity that we have been prevented from showing them.

498
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:59.559
<v Speaker 4>But also the Israelis will need healing because when they

499
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.159
<v Speaker 4>will realize what they have done in the name of

500
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 4>an ideology that has turned into a political doctrine and

501
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:15.760
<v Speaker 4>that has sent its youngest citizens into carrying out genocide,

502
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:18.559
<v Speaker 4>called the war a war of revenge, they will need

503
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 4>more support than others in in stainings solid and sate

504
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 4>mentally saying so this is what I think.

505
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Olivia. I'm also online, thank.

506
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:39.559
<v Speaker 13>You, thank you very much. Selon quit about from Royt's here,

507
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.360
<v Speaker 13>It's just interested in what kind of response you had

508
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.960
<v Speaker 13>from overport. I think your report mentioned that you contacted

509
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 13>a number of companies that were named like have you

510
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:51.480
<v Speaker 13>had any kind of good.

511
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Engagements with those companies?

512
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 13>Have any of them been willing to kind of sit

513
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:58.280
<v Speaker 13>with you, have they kind of suggested any potential shift

514
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:02.159
<v Speaker 13>and in their in their business models.

515
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:06.800
<v Speaker 1>And then secondly, this is just related to something.

516
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:09.480
<v Speaker 13>You said in the Council you described the Gods of

517
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:14.239
<v Speaker 13>Humanitarian Foundation as a death trap. I'm just wondering what evidence,

518
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:17.000
<v Speaker 13>in your role as a special reporteur you've heard in

519
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:20.119
<v Speaker 13>terms of the types of injuries that people have been

520
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.719
<v Speaker 13>sustaining while trying to receive food aid. But also if

521
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.440
<v Speaker 13>you can maybe help us with clarification, because the GHF

522
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:33.519
<v Speaker 13>has consistently said that these deaths are not happening near

523
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:37.599
<v Speaker 13>its sites. Do you believe that that is an accurate

524
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:39.159
<v Speaker 13>statement by the GHF?

525
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

526
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:51.159
<v Speaker 4>So, first of all, I've I've notified the old companies

527
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:54.480
<v Speaker 4>that have been named in the report, and I've not

528
00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.960
<v Speaker 4>just shared with them the facts that I found in

529
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 4>violation of national law. For each of them, I've developed

530
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:05.320
<v Speaker 4>and this is something that goes beyond what has been

531
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.320
<v Speaker 4>done in other similar cases. For each of them, I

532
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:13.440
<v Speaker 4>have provided a detailed analysis, a case by case legal analysis,

533
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:20.559
<v Speaker 4>so where I found their nonconformity with international law translating

534
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:26.440
<v Speaker 4>into violation of the right of self determination, other human

535
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 4>rights violations, and even war crimes or crimes against humanity

536
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:36.639
<v Speaker 4>to an extent in which cases they could be embroiled

537
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:43.159
<v Speaker 4>in the crime of genocide. So the following this, eighteen

538
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:52.719
<v Speaker 4>companies replied. The others didn't. And of these eighteen, I

539
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:56.880
<v Speaker 4>can say that only a small number engaged with me

540
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:04.119
<v Speaker 4>in good faith, because a number of them reasserted what

541
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I had said and saying that there was absolutely nothing

542
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:13.480
<v Speaker 4>wrong that I was in the sense I was hallucinating.

543
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:17.599
<v Speaker 4>I was not reading international law correctly, and that's okay.

544
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:18.440
<v Speaker 5>We will see.

545
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Clearly they don't understand international law. Clearly they think that

546
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:27.239
<v Speaker 4>that international law is there to make excuses. And frankly

547
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:29.639
<v Speaker 4>they are in good companies because we just come from

548
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.199
<v Speaker 4>twenty months in which international human rights law violations have

549
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.920
<v Speaker 4>been justified as compliance with international humanitarian law like first

550
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:46.000
<v Speaker 4>displacement renamed, rebranded, like evacuation orders to population moved into

551
00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:52.960
<v Speaker 4>the safe zones or yeah, safe zone, death zones which

552
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 4>have become a safe zones, collateral damage humanitarian no human shields,

553
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Speaker 4>and even the Gaza Humanidary Foundation is yet another chapter

554
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:07.119
<v Speaker 4>of the of the humanitarian camouflage. And I also think

555
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.679
<v Speaker 4>they are in good company when it comes to member states,

556
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.320
<v Speaker 4>because it's incredible how member states, for example, European States

557
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:17.119
<v Speaker 4>use the European Union to justify their non compliance with

558
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.760
<v Speaker 4>their international law obligations. Look, it's very very simple, the

559
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:24.559
<v Speaker 4>International Court of justic because you everyone says, no, we

560
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:27.480
<v Speaker 4>can't call genocide because there is no court to determination.

561
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.440
<v Speaker 4>First of all, since January twenty twenty four, the Court

562
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:33.840
<v Speaker 4>recognized the risk of a reparable harm to the policyanes

563
00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:37.000
<v Speaker 4>in Gaza under the Genocide Convention, which means they recognize

564
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.280
<v Speaker 4>the plausibility of genocide, which means that this is the

565
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.519
<v Speaker 4>moment that the obligation to prevent kicked in. So if

566
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 4>one has to be serious about reading international law.

567
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:50.039
<v Speaker 5>Literally.

568
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:53.719
<v Speaker 4>But you know they say no, but the European Union,

569
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:57.480
<v Speaker 4>the European Union doesn't allow. I mean, we are waiting

570
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:02.239
<v Speaker 4>for other UM member states to to take measures to

571
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:05.559
<v Speaker 4>suspend the agreements. Now you need to suspend your transactions

572
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:10.559
<v Speaker 4>with Israel because you have signed international treaties and because

573
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:14.440
<v Speaker 4>there's some of the valolations that we are under our

574
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:18.559
<v Speaker 4>eyes amount to crimes, so there might be a complicity.

575
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 4>And therefore it's so sad as a European to see

576
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:26.199
<v Speaker 4>that European Union, such a nobel institution has become and

577
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:30.440
<v Speaker 4>the index behind which to hide in order to justify

578
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 4>the non compliance with international law. So it's in the

579
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:36.960
<v Speaker 4>United States and the United Nations as well, because when

580
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:40.000
<v Speaker 4>I say, yeah, you should disengage and impose and arms

581
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:45.960
<v Speaker 4>embargo like member states from the Global Majority are already doing.

582
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:48.400
<v Speaker 4>By the way, Yeah, the Hague Group is a very

583
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:54.039
<v Speaker 4>nobel small but noble attend to to to start from

584
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.559
<v Speaker 4>addressing the root causes instead of a symptom for for

585
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 4>a change. So I do believe that nonetheless, the companies

586
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:09.719
<v Speaker 4>need to understand. And this is why I was so

587
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:15.599
<v Speaker 4>so anxious to have this report presented. And so this

588
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.000
<v Speaker 4>is the only good thing that I've really the silver

589
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:23.519
<v Speaker 4>lining of these past months despital pressure, seeing that this

590
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:27.440
<v Speaker 4>would allow this report, would allow people to understand to

591
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:32.719
<v Speaker 4>have no further excuses being directly linked to these occupation,

592
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.840
<v Speaker 4>this unlawful occupation, because the International Court of Justice has

593
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.239
<v Speaker 4>said the occupation is unlawful. So we have a decision

594
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:42.360
<v Speaker 4>of the International Court of justiceing this is unlawful. Member

595
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:46.800
<v Speaker 4>states have to disengage, not to recognize as illegal, not

596
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.239
<v Speaker 4>to aid and assist ensure that the cessation, and even

597
00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.800
<v Speaker 4>and even ensure that there are reparations from Israel to

598
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:57.159
<v Speaker 4>the Palestinians in the occupied policy and territory. So in

599
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:02.159
<v Speaker 4>the face of all these violations, how can ever be

600
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:07.280
<v Speaker 4>argued morally and legally that a private actor is allowed

601
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.000
<v Speaker 4>to do what a member state is not allowed to do.

602
00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:14.519
<v Speaker 4>So again, I think that this is a pivotal moment.

603
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.960
<v Speaker 4>There have been other defining moments, as I was saying

604
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:22.000
<v Speaker 4>in the Council in human history, to bring businesses which

605
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.000
<v Speaker 4>normally escape accountability to account.

606
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:26.320
<v Speaker 5>And this is this moment.

607
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:31.679
<v Speaker 4>Palestine is really forcing us to that test. The Gauza

608
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.760
<v Speaker 4>humanitarian foundation is absolutely a death strap. I willn't know

609
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 4>how to call the six hundred people who have been

610
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:46.840
<v Speaker 4>killed while trying to reach aid. Also the very the

611
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:51.840
<v Speaker 4>very So first of all, this is the most I mean,

612
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:57.159
<v Speaker 4>the term humanitarian absolutely cannot be utilized in a serious

613
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:04.199
<v Speaker 4>fashion toward that thing, because humanitarian aid must follow certain principles,

614
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.960
<v Speaker 4>the principle of humanity, the principle of dignity, the principle

615
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.519
<v Speaker 4>of protection of even life. So creating no harm. This

616
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:18.199
<v Speaker 4>creates harm. It's not a dignified way to distribute food.

617
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:22.000
<v Speaker 4>And AID is not providing all the aid that is adequate,

618
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.880
<v Speaker 4>So what are we talking about, So without even looking

619
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.800
<v Speaker 4>at it as a killing machine, it's not providing aid.

620
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:34.320
<v Speaker 4>And again I restate it's ludicrous. It's ludicrous that international

621
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:35.599
<v Speaker 4>community is not.

622
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:37.199
<v Speaker 5>Forcing is.

623
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:43.400
<v Speaker 4>Breaking the blockade, because this is the only sensible thing

624
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.880
<v Speaker 4>that should be done right now, Send all the country

625
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:49.960
<v Speaker 4>which have a port in the Mediterranean Sea should send

626
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.840
<v Speaker 4>the Navy with medical personnel under their responsibility under their flag,

627
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:01.440
<v Speaker 4>medical personnel, food, and any other necessity sorrysy necessary equipment

628
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:04.800
<v Speaker 4>to save life, including baby formula. So this is what

629
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Member States should do. Instead they stay there, criticizing at

630
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:09.000
<v Speaker 4>best the.

631
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.519
<v Speaker 5>Gaza Humanetarian Foundation.

632
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Again, this is one of the most sadistic exercises in

633
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:20.719
<v Speaker 4>intellectual gymnastics I've ever come across. And then the Gaza

634
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:23.599
<v Speaker 4>Humanitarian Foundation are saying that the killing is not happening

635
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:28.440
<v Speaker 4>near the site. Well, I've gone through plenty of video evidence.

636
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Of course, neither you nor I are there. I wish,

637
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.239
<v Speaker 4>I wish journalists could be allowed in the fact that

638
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:39.119
<v Speaker 4>it's not happening, while all the journalists that are available

639
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:42.239
<v Speaker 4>in Gaza are Bill Key are being killed one by

640
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:44.760
<v Speaker 4>one by one by one, and we have surpassed it

641
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:48.119
<v Speaker 4>two hundred and twenty. Now it's evidence that probably Israel

642
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:51.840
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want for the testimonies for their witnesses in this.

643
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.320
<v Speaker 5>What else I can I say?

644
00:53:56.719 --> 00:54:02.719
<v Speaker 8>Thank you, yes, thank you Robin Millard from AFP. I

645
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:05.000

646
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:09.599
<v Speaker 8>Israel has to say about your report, they said, And

647
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:14.280
<v Speaker 8>I'm quoting here that it's motivated by an obsessive, hate

648
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 8>driven agenda to delegitimize the state of Israel. And they

649
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:22.239
<v Speaker 8>say that you're reported again. I'm quoting is legally groundless,

650
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:27.360

651
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:29.280
<v Speaker 8>to what they have to say? Thank you?

727
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:40.880
<v Speaker 16>to return to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and after the

728
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.760
<v Speaker 16>way you described the organization, I want to ask what

729
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:50.760
<v Speaker 16>do you see a need for an urgent new case

731

<v Speaker 16>recent killings of eight scus near the mechanism. Thank you.

732
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:08.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm really reassured by the fact that this company has

733
01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:12.400
<v Speaker 4>been this entity has been the registered I hope this

734
01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.519
<v Speaker 4>is the right term because I saw it in between

735
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.039
<v Speaker 4>the interactive dialogue and the press conference. But so I

736
01:05:19.119 --> 01:05:22.400
<v Speaker 4>see that it doesn't have a protected necessarily protected status

737
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:26.599
<v Speaker 4>in Switzerland, in Geneva anymore, and this is reassuring. However,

738
01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:30.159
<v Speaker 4>there is a need again, there is a need for accountability,

739
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:33.320
<v Speaker 4>no question about that. But I think that we need

740
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:37.840
<v Speaker 4>to get out of the chronicling approach and mentality. Of course,

741
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:42.760
<v Speaker 4>each incident requires analysis and investigation, but it's the we

742
01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:47.840
<v Speaker 4>need to look at the ensemble, get step away from

743
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:53.920
<v Speaker 4>the detail. Everything is happening in the context of a destructive,

744
01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:59.920
<v Speaker 4>intentionally destructive assault the Israel has launched against the Pas

745
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Palestinians in Gaza, which is also echoed and mirrored by

746
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:09.000
<v Speaker 4>the violence that has escalated and intensified against the Palestinians

747
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:13.440
<v Speaker 4>in the West Bank. Really, there is little capacity to

748
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:17.480
<v Speaker 4>understand that the two pieces of these fragments are together.

749
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:22.840
<v Speaker 4>The Palestinian territory that the Israel has occupied since nineteen

750
01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:23.960
<v Speaker 4>sixty sevent is one.

751
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:24.599
<v Speaker 5>It should be.

752
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:30.519
<v Speaker 4>Treated as a territorial territorial unity, and so Israel is

753
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:34.440
<v Speaker 4>doing I mean, it's unleashing violence against the Palestinians with

754
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:37.400
<v Speaker 4>the same animals, with the same spirit, moving them out

755
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:44.599
<v Speaker 4>and with all means possible, clearly, and I do believe

756
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:49.800
<v Speaker 4>that it's necessary to see that this is not the

757
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:55.239
<v Speaker 4>first genocide that consists of several of other crimes. And

758
01:06:55.920 --> 01:07:03.159
<v Speaker 4>it's in the in the inter real and interplay of

759
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:06.559
<v Speaker 4>all these conducts and of all these crimes, that one

760
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:12.079
<v Speaker 4>can also see how abandoned the Palestinians feel to this

761
01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:16.679
<v Speaker 4>criminal design and to their destiny in their situation.

762
01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:30.079
<v Speaker 17>Isabelle, yes, good afternoons. Thank you very much for this

763
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:31.239
<v Speaker 17>press conference.

764
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:37.639
<v Speaker 18>And you said that only sorry, only a small number

765
01:07:37.719 --> 01:07:43.159
<v Speaker 18>of companies accepted engaged with you after receiving your report.

766
01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:47.199
<v Speaker 18>But I would like to know if any any.

767
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:49.639
<v Speaker 5>Company or a few companies.

768
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:55.960
<v Speaker 18>Told you that they will reassess or analyze their businesses

769
01:07:56.199 --> 01:08:04.079
<v Speaker 18>in Israel or businesses that affects the occupy Palestine and territories.

770
01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:08.400
<v Speaker 18>And also as second part of my questions, I am

771
01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:11.519
<v Speaker 18>sorry if I focus on one company, but you mentioned

772
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:16.439
<v Speaker 18>a trying building a Spanish company, and I would like

773
01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:19.800
<v Speaker 18>to ask you because you mentioned in the report that

774
01:08:20.520 --> 01:08:25.239
<v Speaker 18>they participate with other companies in the to expand the

775
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:33.399
<v Speaker 18>traum the public transport in Jerusalem. But I would like

776
01:08:33.479 --> 01:08:39.199
<v Speaker 18>to to pres to be precise, if these expansions are

777
01:08:40.239 --> 01:08:44.920
<v Speaker 18>touched to is Jerusalem, why what is the problem in

778
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:49.520
<v Speaker 18>this case and if this company has replied something to.

779
01:08:49.560 --> 01:08:50.119
<v Speaker 5>You thank you?

780
01:08:54.399 --> 01:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

781
01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:59.079
<v Speaker 4>As I said, only a small number of companies really

782
01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:03.720
<v Speaker 4>engaged in good faith, and one in particular, Uh till

783
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.239
<v Speaker 4>the point, till the last conversation where I realized that

784
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:09.079
<v Speaker 4>there was probably not much good faith because clearly there

785
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:11.680
<v Speaker 4>was an interest in not having their their name on

786
01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:17.199
<v Speaker 4>the on the report, which I understand. But but no,

787
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:23.079
<v Speaker 4>I've seen no sign whatsoever of readiness to disengage. Rather

788
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:26.960
<v Speaker 4>the contrary, which doesn't mean that this will not happen.

789
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:28.079
<v Speaker 4>I think it will happen.

790
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And uh.

791
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:33.880
<v Speaker 4>But even if you think of the for me the

792
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:38.840
<v Speaker 4>most shocking one, and it's a part peculiar, uh, not

793
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.920
<v Speaker 4>a peculiar, but it is a it's particularly serious for

794
01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:45.399
<v Speaker 4>me that the Norwegian pension funds staysm engaged in the

795
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:48.760
<v Speaker 4>in the Occupied Palestine and territory by supporting businesses because

796
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:52.039
<v Speaker 4>I've really engaged with the government of Norway, with which

797
01:09:52.039 --> 01:09:57.359
<v Speaker 4>I've always had really good and solid, respectful engagement. But

798
01:09:57.479 --> 01:10:01.800
<v Speaker 4>again the Norwegian Pension Fund, I mean, the engagement I've

799
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:05.039
<v Speaker 4>had so far with their governing body and their Ethnic

800
01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Council suggests indicates that there is clear misunderstanding of international

801
01:10:11.640 --> 01:10:16.279
<v Speaker 4>law obligations. So I truly hope that this report will

802
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:20.520
<v Speaker 4>give the possibility also to the civil society, to the

803
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:25.960
<v Speaker 4>international lawyers in Norway, like in other countries, for for

804
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:28.960
<v Speaker 4>the other companies and the other entities named, to engage

805
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:32.000
<v Speaker 4>with the with the government and otherwise if this doesn't cease,

806
01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 4>well there should be accountability and.

807
01:10:40.199 --> 01:10:41.880
<v Speaker 5>So for example against staying in Norway.

808
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:46.319
<v Speaker 4>I've seen parliamentarians for example starting to uh to to

809
01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:49.800
<v Speaker 4>take to confront the government more robustly. I've also seen

810
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:53.319
<v Speaker 4>in recent hours the divestment from two companies, which I

811
01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:57.640
<v Speaker 4>welcome and this needs to continue to continue. For what

812
01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:02.560
<v Speaker 4>concerned the company The ask company you mentioned is the CAFF.

813
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:08.920
<v Speaker 4>The CAFFE participate with other companies in expanding the public

814
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:16.720
<v Speaker 4>transport in Jerusalem, and it's the Jerusalem light Rail Consortium,

815
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:22.239
<v Speaker 4>which is also mentioned in the h c h R database.

816
01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:25.279
<v Speaker 4>In the sense the consortium that CAFFE has established is

817
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.600
<v Speaker 4>with with companies mentioned with at least two companies mentioned

818
01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:31.600
<v Speaker 4>in the in the database.

819
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:34.359
<v Speaker 5>So at the time.

820
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:38.199
<v Speaker 4>The first problem is that at the time other companies

821
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:43.600
<v Speaker 4>have withdrawn from their engagement and partnership with u N

822
01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:47.239
<v Speaker 4>database listed companies.

823
01:11:47.439 --> 01:11:49.920
<v Speaker 5>CAFF as not has not done it.

824
01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:54.359
<v Speaker 4>But also the lines that caff is In is involved

825
01:11:54.600 --> 01:12:00.439
<v Speaker 4>in in building include part of the part of their

826
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.039
<v Speaker 4>their their their trucks in the in the West Bank.

827
01:12:04.199 --> 01:12:10.680
<v Speaker 4>And these lines connect colonies colonies with Jerusalem. The colonies

828
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:16.600
<v Speaker 4>are connected through through through this transport through transportation lines

829
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:20.399
<v Speaker 4>with Israel, and as I said, this is illegal, it

830
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:21.760
<v Speaker 4>shouldn't happen.

831
01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:24.239
<v Speaker 5>This company is helping.

832
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Israel facilitate the replacement of the Palestinians and the strengthening

833
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:34.960
<v Speaker 4>of them of the colonies which are in and of themselves,

834
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:37.680
<v Speaker 4>as I said, many times were crime and violation of

835
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:39.800
<v Speaker 4>the International Humanitarian Law framework.

836
01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:43.279
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

837
01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's all the questions.

838
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:47.800
<v Speaker 4>We have another another element that I should add because

839
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:54.079
<v Speaker 4>it also shows how the businesses are connected. There are

840
01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:57.079
<v Speaker 4>other companies that I've mentioned in the report, like the

841
01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:06.000
<v Speaker 4>sun Involvo Excavators machinery that I've been used and there

842
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:09.680
<v Speaker 4>the materials that other companies, like how the Heidelberg I've

843
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:14.680
<v Speaker 4>provided I've been used to supply the building of these

844
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:16.920
<v Speaker 4>of the light rail bridge.

845
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:21.359
<v Speaker 5>So game, it's a system, It's really a system.

846
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:29.439
<v Speaker 19>Work and play on the traditional territories of the Black Confederacy,

847
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:34.199
<v Speaker 19>the Six Canai and Baccani, the Sutina, the Stony and

848
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:37.079
<v Speaker 19>the ConA nations of pir Spot Shineki in good Stoney.

849
01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:40.119
<v Speaker 19>We also acknowledge that this territory is home to the

850
01:13:40.199 --> 01:13:44.399
<v Speaker 19>Maji Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Meiiti homeland.

851
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.319
<v Speaker 19>We are honored to host the support announcement and proud

852
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:50.640
<v Speaker 19>to showcase the work our teams do every day to

853
01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:55.840
<v Speaker 19>advance the responsible energy infrastructure across Canada. This facility reflects

854
01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:59.880
<v Speaker 19>our commitment to innovation, safety and sustainability, values that are

855
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:02.720
<v Speaker 19>at the core of how we operate and grow our business.

856
01:14:03.439 --> 01:14:06.479
<v Speaker 19>Thank you to our employees, partners and distinguished guests for

857
01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:10.399

<v Speaker 19>like to recognize the men and women who work here

862
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:26.359
<v Speaker 19>at the Cocran Extraction Plant, committed to the safe extraction

863
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:30.520
<v Speaker 19>and processing of vital natural gas liquids, products that Canadian

864
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.399
<v Speaker 19>families and businesses use across this nation and beyond every day.

865
01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:38.359
<v Speaker 19>I am excited to announce the Cochrane Extraction Plant will

866
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:40.840
<v Speaker 19>also be home to the Bow Valley Carbon a CO

867
01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:45.119
<v Speaker 19>two seqrustration facility. This plant is expected to ultimately be

868
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:48.600
<v Speaker 19>the initial beneficiary of the Bow Valley Carbon Hub. But

869
01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:51.720
<v Speaker 19>more from that from our CEO in a moment for now,

01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:55.319
<v Speaker 19>please join me in welcoming the Honorable Tim Hodgson, Minister

01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:13.760
<v Speaker 20>Good morning everyone, Bojos, and thank you for the land acknowledgment.

873
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:17.279
<v Speaker 20>I'd also like to thank Corey and his whole team

874
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:22.600
<v Speaker 20>here at the Concord Extraction Plan for they're very warm

875
01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:25.800
<v Speaker 20>welcome today. When I gave my first speech as a

876
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:29.239
<v Speaker 20>minister just six short weeks ago, it was here in

877
01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:34.319
<v Speaker 20>Alberta and I promised to be back soon. I'm keeping

878
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:39.680
<v Speaker 20>my promise. You know, as a new minister, I see

879
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:42.680
<v Speaker 20>how quickly our country is changing, and I want you

880
01:15:42.760 --> 01:15:46.039
<v Speaker 20>to know I get inspired watching how Canadians are pulling

881
01:15:46.079 --> 01:15:50.960
<v Speaker 20>together to face the challenges before us. This weekend, we

882
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:54.760
<v Speaker 20>celebrated Canada Day, a time to reflect on our history,

883
01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:58.560
<v Speaker 20>but also a time to be proud of how we

884
01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:06.680
<v Speaker 20>are writing with courage, foresight, and ambition at a time

885
01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:11.439
<v Speaker 20>of challenging global dynamics. Our country is choosing to rise

886
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:16.079
<v Speaker 20>to the challenge. We are choosing to strengthen our economic sovereignty,

887
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.479
<v Speaker 20>assert our strategic independence, and build a future based on

888
01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:27.840
<v Speaker 20>our values and ambitions. The time for following others is over.

889
01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:34.560
<v Speaker 20>If other countries choose not to lead, Canada will. It's

890
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:37.880
<v Speaker 20>up to us to set the pace, to deal the

891
01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:41.359
<v Speaker 20>cards and pave the way for the solutions innovations that

892
01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:49.560
<v Speaker 20>will power our future, whether in conventional and clean energy, infrastructure,

893
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:55.079
<v Speaker 20>new technologies, or critical minerals. Canada is asserting its position

894
01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:58.399
<v Speaker 20>in the world as a nation capable of stepping up

895
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:02.680
<v Speaker 20>to the challenge, taking responsibility to be masters of our

896
01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:07.319
<v Speaker 20>own home, creating wealth for families from coast to coast

897
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:12.119
<v Speaker 20>to coast, supporting our allies with energy security and fighting

898
01:17:12.239 --> 01:17:16.800
<v Speaker 20>climate change, and trade according to our own interests, not

899
01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:23.319
<v Speaker 20>just based on who are our closest customers. We are

900
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:27.159
<v Speaker 20>moving rapidly to secure our rightful place as a conventional

901
01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:33.439
<v Speaker 20>and clean energy superpower. Every barrel of responsibly produced Canadian

902
01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:38.840
<v Speaker 20>oil and every ton of clean Canadian allergy can displace less, clean,

903
01:17:39.159 --> 01:17:43.560
<v Speaker 20>riskier energy elsewhere in the world. Our exports can help

904
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:48.039
<v Speaker 20>our allies break dependence on authoritarian regimes and help the

905
01:17:48.119 --> 01:17:54.159
<v Speaker 20>world reduce our emissions. Canada will remain a reliable global supplier,

906
01:17:55.399 --> 01:18:00.439
<v Speaker 20>not just today, but for decades to come. The real

907
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.880
<v Speaker 20>challenge is not whether we produce, but whether we can

908
01:18:04.960 --> 01:18:08.079
<v Speaker 20>get the best products to market before someone else does.

909
01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:12.600
<v Speaker 20>That means working with our energy sector to make investments

910
01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:16.199
<v Speaker 20>that fight climate change so we can reduce carbon emissions

911
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:20.960
<v Speaker 20>and bring the lowest cost, lowest risk, and lowest carbon

912
01:18:21.079 --> 01:18:25.840
<v Speaker 20>products to domestic and international markets like we've just seen

913
01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:30.119
<v Speaker 20>this week with the momentous opening of the LNG Canada

914
01:18:30.199 --> 01:18:36.840
<v Speaker 20>Phase one facility. In Kinematic CCUS technologies will be an

915
01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:41.640
<v Speaker 20>essential part of this, presenting tremendous opportunity for clean growth,

916
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:46.399
<v Speaker 20>long term competitiveness, and Canadian leadership on a global scale.

917
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:49.640
<v Speaker 19>If we move quickly and.

918
01:18:49.720 --> 01:18:55.800
<v Speaker 20>Strategically and leverage the best and brightest innovators and workers

919
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:02.840
<v Speaker 20>right here in Alberta, Canada can develop a world class,

920
01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:08.720
<v Speaker 20>multi billion dollar CCUS industry that allows us to responsibly

921
01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:13.199
<v Speaker 20>grow our oil and gas production, that allows us to

922
01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:18.000
<v Speaker 20>decarbonize other heavy industries like cement and steel, that allows

923
01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:21.960
<v Speaker 20>us to support high value jobs and a strong sustainable economy,

924
01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:25.640
<v Speaker 20>and allows us to match building the strongest economy in

925
01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:29.840
<v Speaker 20>the G seven with the achievement of our climate objectives.

926
01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:37.079
<v Speaker 20>For Canada to fully seize this opportunity, accelerated and coordinated

927
01:19:37.119 --> 01:19:42.159
<v Speaker 20>action is needed across public and private sectors. Your new

928
01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:45.279
<v Speaker 20>federal government is working to create the conditions that put

929
01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:49.000
<v Speaker 20>private dollars to work for Canadians right here in Alberta,

930
01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:53.920
<v Speaker 20>in the heart of the Canadian energy industry. This includes

931
01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:58.079
<v Speaker 20>key measures like Canada's Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Investment

932
01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:02.520
<v Speaker 20>tax credit and in over three hundred million in research

933
01:20:02.640 --> 01:20:10.520
<v Speaker 20>development of demonstration projects to prove commercial viability of CCUS technologies.

934
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:16.560
<v Speaker 20>Working closely with provinces is crucial, and I have to

935
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:21.920
<v Speaker 20>say Alberta is an MVP in our game plan across

936
01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:28.279
<v Speaker 20>the province. Alberta isn't just keeping pace, it's accelerating our

937
01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:37.479
<v Speaker 20>energy economy with concrete, local and innovative solutions and we

938
01:20:37.600 --> 01:20:40.479
<v Speaker 20>want to see more of that because a strong sustainable

939
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:46.800
<v Speaker 20>Canada needs a strong innovative Alberta. That's why I'm proud

940
01:20:46.880 --> 01:20:49.680
<v Speaker 20>today to announce more than twenty one point five million

941
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:54.640
<v Speaker 20>dollars in federal funding for five innovative CCUS projects right

942
01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:59.560
<v Speaker 20>here in Alberta. These five projects are developing cutting edge

943
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:05.159
<v Speaker 20>CCUS technologies, from advancing CO two storage sites and subsurface

944
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:11.399
<v Speaker 20>analysis technologies to cleaner diesel fuel engines. This will drive

945
01:21:11.439 --> 01:21:16.039
<v Speaker 20>emission reductions and create new opportunities for Canada's innovation on

946
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:19.319
<v Speaker 20>the world stage. They will allow us to show our

947
01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:23.600
<v Speaker 20>peers across the country and around the world that Canadian

948
01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:29.000
<v Speaker 20>energy is the best energy in the world, innovative, reliable,

949
01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:34.880
<v Speaker 20>and responsible. First, we're investing ten million dollars right here

950
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:39.760
<v Speaker 20>in Bow Valley Carbon for the design and installation of

951
01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:42.119
<v Speaker 20>a state of the art CCUS system, which you just

952
01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:46.279
<v Speaker 20>heard about. This system aims to capture forty thousand tons

953
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:50.119
<v Speaker 20>of CO two emissions per year, equal to taking over

954
01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:55.159
<v Speaker 20>twelve thousand cars off the road every year. This is

955
01:21:55.239 --> 01:21:59.039
<v Speaker 20>being done with the Enter Pipeline Cochrane Natural Gas extraction plant.

956
01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:04.840
<v Speaker 20>As you know, then Enbridge's open access Webbaman Carbon Hub

957
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:10.800
<v Speaker 20>will receive four million to characterize deep saline reservoirs in

958
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:15.279
<v Speaker 20>central Alberta, an important storage and transportation solution for local

959
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:21.000
<v Speaker 20>carbon capture projects in that region. Another investment of five

960
01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:24.680
<v Speaker 20>million dollars will allow enhance energy to support hub development

961
01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:29.279
<v Speaker 20>in new geological locations without access to the usual sandstone reservoirs.

962
01:22:31.279 --> 01:22:35.000
<v Speaker 20>The Opticized Solutions Project will receive over five hundred thousand

963
01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:38.840
<v Speaker 20>dollars in funding to improve the cost effectiveness of existing

964
01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:45.199
<v Speaker 20>technologies for measuring, monitoring, and verifying underground CO two storage.

965
01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:50.560
<v Speaker 20>And finally, more than two million will go to Oakham's

966
01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:54.319
<v Speaker 20>Technology to investigate and test the modification of digel engines

967
01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:59.600
<v Speaker 20>with the goal of developing economically viable capture processes for

968
01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:04.239
<v Speaker 20>things like rail transport, marine shipping, and heavy duty truck

969
01:23:04.359 --> 01:23:12.920
<v Speaker 20>it These are not just investments in Canadian companies. These

970
01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:16.279
<v Speaker 20>are investments in the people of Alberta, in the long

971
01:23:16.399 --> 01:23:19.479
<v Speaker 20>term future of the oil and gas industry, and in

972
01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:24.239
<v Speaker 20>the technologies of tomorrow. These are investments in a tide

973
01:23:25.199 --> 01:23:30.720
<v Speaker 20>that will lift all Canadian boats. The world is changing,

974
01:23:32.720 --> 01:23:36.720
<v Speaker 20>It's an uncertain place right now, but Canada has always

975
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:42.560
<v Speaker 20>been a country of builders, dreamers and doers. So let's

976
01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:47.840
<v Speaker 20>rise to that challenge, not with hesitation, but with boldness.

977
01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:54.000
<v Speaker 20>Let us turn this moment into an opportunity. We will lead,

978
01:23:55.199 --> 01:23:58.479
<v Speaker 20>we will innovate, and we will power our country and

979
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:03.159
<v Speaker 20>the world. The Canadian your way, if that's your vision,

980
01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:06.800
<v Speaker 20>and for those here today and across this great province,

981
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:10.439
<v Speaker 20>I think it is. Your government is right here with you.

982
01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:24.479
<v Speaker 20>Thank you, MERSI, thank you miniature and aunction. I would

983
01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:28.159
<v Speaker 20>now like to introduce Paul Hawksworth, President and chief executive

984
01:24:28.199 --> 01:24:29.560
<v Speaker 20>Officer of Injured Pipeline.

985
01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:40.079
<v Speaker 21>Thank you Corey, Thank you minister. It is my honor

986
01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.119
<v Speaker 21>to welcome you all here today on behalf of both

987
01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:47.119
<v Speaker 21>Injured Pipeline and the Full Bow Valley Carbon Hub team,

988
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:51.479
<v Speaker 21>which includes our partners Entropy, a global leader in modular

989
01:24:51.560 --> 01:24:56.239
<v Speaker 21>cond recapture and storage solutions. At inter Pipeline, we are

990
01:24:56.279 --> 01:25:00.359
<v Speaker 21>a premier provider of essential energy, infrastructure and products that

991
01:25:00.479 --> 01:25:03.840
<v Speaker 21>improved people's lives for decades to come. We are one

992
01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:07.479
<v Speaker 21>of Canada's largest midstream companies with over twenty billion of

993
01:25:07.560 --> 01:25:14.079
<v Speaker 21>acid value. Our extensive transportation pipeline network supports the movement

994
01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:17.720
<v Speaker 21>of close to half of Canada's strategic oil production. Our

995
01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:24.239
<v Speaker 21>State of the Arc Heartland Petrochemical complex produces valuable polypropylene,

996
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:28.960
<v Speaker 21>a recyclable polymer, enhancing the value of abundant Canadian natural

997
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:33.640
<v Speaker 21>gas resources. Right here in in Alberta, Canada, we also

998
01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:37.800
<v Speaker 21>operate one of Canada's largest natural gas liquid extraction facilities,

999
01:25:38.319 --> 01:25:42.600
<v Speaker 21>producing valuable products such as ethane and propane right here

1000
01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:47.600
<v Speaker 21>as an example of the Cochrane Extraction Plant now Cochrane.

1001
01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:51.279
<v Speaker 21>The first phase was built over fifty years ago through

1002
01:25:51.359 --> 01:25:55.319
<v Speaker 21>collaboration between government and industry, and it was based on

1003
01:25:55.439 --> 01:25:58.159
<v Speaker 21>a vision that Canada could do more with our natural

1004
01:25:58.279 --> 01:26:03.720
<v Speaker 21>resources and has been banded and modernized several times since then.

1005
01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:09.520
<v Speaker 21>Beginning under the leadership of then Premier Peter Laid, that

1006
01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:12.680
<v Speaker 21>vision took hold, becoming the facility that you know today,

1007
01:26:13.159 --> 01:26:17.840
<v Speaker 21>a critical piece of Alberta and Canadian infrastructure that ultimately

1008
01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:23.399
<v Speaker 21>delivers value locally, nationally, and now globally. It is a

1009
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:28.039
<v Speaker 21>clear example of what strategic investment and long term thinking

1010
01:26:28.319 --> 01:26:33.960
<v Speaker 21>can deliver. Fifty years later, standing here today, those same

1011
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:38.960
<v Speaker 21>principles are guiding us again. With the support of Natural

1012
01:26:39.039 --> 01:26:42.399
<v Speaker 21>Resource Canada, we are advancing the first phase of the

1013
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:46.119
<v Speaker 21>Bow Valley Carbon Hub This project is right here at

1014
01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:50.159
<v Speaker 21>Cochran and we will be capturing sequestering CO two from

1015
01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:55.039
<v Speaker 21>existing operations that will be safely and permanently stored four

1016
01:26:55.159 --> 01:26:59.520
<v Speaker 21>kilometers underground. That There are many different opportunities right across

1017
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:02.319
<v Speaker 21>the province, but one benefit here is this is one

1018
01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:06.680
<v Speaker 21>of the deepest formations that would be storing, providing an

1019
01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:11.760
<v Speaker 21>unprecedented level of safety. Combined with our innovative monitoring technologies,

1020
01:27:13.079 --> 01:27:18.000
<v Speaker 21>the Bow Valley Carbon Hub brings together into pipelines, safety record,

1021
01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:22.319
<v Speaker 21>our project execution, and our deep commitment to our communities.

1022
01:27:23.079 --> 01:27:28.319
<v Speaker 21>It is further strengthened by enter Piece subsurface specialization and

1023
01:27:28.439 --> 01:27:33.560
<v Speaker 21>their operational expert expertidens that they bring to us. It

1024
01:27:33.680 --> 01:27:37.800
<v Speaker 21>is supported by the innovative work from across Canada's research industry.

1025
01:27:38.479 --> 01:27:42.560
<v Speaker 21>We look forward to working with our industry partners, indigenous

1026
01:27:42.560 --> 01:27:48.119
<v Speaker 21>communities and other stakeholders to build even stronger relationships that

1027
01:27:48.239 --> 01:27:52.119
<v Speaker 21>can drive our energy industry forward in Canada and shape

1028
01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:57.279
<v Speaker 21>carbon capture storage as it's deployed more rapidly across this province.

1029
01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:03.119
<v Speaker 21>Thank you again, Minister for joining us today. In your

1030
01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:07.039
<v Speaker 21>comments about Canada becoming an energy superpower, I've heard you

1031
01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:10.359
<v Speaker 21>say many times, how critical it is that we continue

1032
01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:15.399
<v Speaker 21>to demonstrate our commitment globally and to our fellow Canadians

1033
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:24.199
<v Speaker 21>that we are responsible industry. Bow Valley Carbon demonstrates that commitment.

1034
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:28.760
<v Speaker 21>It is a tangible step forward, proving how government, communities

1035
01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:33.560
<v Speaker 21>and industry can work together to deliver real, tangible and

1036
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:34.720
<v Speaker 21>measurable results.

1037
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:35.279
<v Speaker 11>Thank you.
