Thats what museveni did in uganda. these are complete charades. yes, the autocrat stays in power, but with none of the legitimacy that even that managed democracy would have brought. that is not a great long—term strategy for survival. as you talk to me about what you see happening in the world, im kind of struggling to understand what you meant when, during your tenure at human rights watch, you always said, "our organisation has to be neutral. in a sense, we have to be like the international...

They issued a report last year on the ukraine war in which they explicitly criticised ukrainian forces for firing from civilian areas, including close proximity to schools and hospitals. now, that was a report that absolutely infuriated not just president zelensky and the ukrainian government, but many other independent observers and, you know, supporters of a fight for freedom who felt that this sort of both sides—ism by one of the worlds most important human rights groups was actually playin...

You know, youre right, youre wrong, but we rather look to what extent are both sides complying with international humanitarian law, basically. really? so, kenneth roth, you, still a powerful voice in international human rights, you can look at the camera talking to me today and say you are not prepared to define russia as the aggressor in the current war with ukraine inside ukrainian territory? i mean, look, obviously, russia was the aggressor. im not, im not denying that. but human rights watch...

Inside ukrainian territory? i mean, look, obviously, russia was the aggressor. im not, im not denying that. but human rights watch, in the way it operates in a situation like that, we always report on both sides. in fact, human rights watch recently reported on ukrainian use of land mines, even though, you know, the vast majority of the war crimes are by the russians. but we adopt that position of neutrality because we see it as the best way to promote respect for humanitarian law. so when we ap...

Or we dont really care what kind of government is there, no, thats not true. you know, we want a government that fully respects human rights, and by definition, thats a democracy, its not an autocracy. so thats what i mean, this concept of neutrality in a war context doesnt mean were neutral about whether theres democracy or not. we want democracy. understood. what about defining certain leaders and commanders as warcriminals? again, its a very active conversation because vladimir putin is seen ...

Correct to report on both sides, because if you only report on one side, the one youre criticising just dismisses you. you know, youre a partisan. why do we have to listen to you? if you are reporting on both sides, you have that credibility of neutrality to be able to press both sides to respect humanitarian law. sure, but the ukrainians were only firing from civilian areas because their civilian areas were being attacked and indeed occupied by the russian military. but what youre doing, youre ...

To understand what you meant when, during your tenure at human rights watch, you always said, "our organisation has to be neutral. in a sense, we have to be like the international committee of the red cross based in switzerland. we have to be able to work in countries and approach countries with the sense that we dont take sides. we are neutral." i mean, in your last answer, you sure as hell were taking sides. where we stress that neutrality is when theres an armed conflict. thats where the red ...

To respect humanitarian law. sure, but the ukrainians were only firing from civilian areas because their civilian areas were being attacked and indeed occupied by the russian military. but what youre doing, youre getting into the substance of the report, and im not prepared to get into those details here. but thats very different from attacking the principle. amnesty was completely right on the principle to report on both sides. human rights watch does that as well. now, if i could, let me come ...

Switzerland is slammed by the pro-Ukraine shift for its neutrality even if it prevents the fate suffered by other EU nations,
