In beijing engagement in south sudan to be a critical thing to do right now in order to show that united front internationally to the parties that were really going to be pushing for peace, and those that undermine peace are going to have some kind of particular sanction. Is it your assessment that china is willing to step up to the plate in that regard . Not as publicly as us. But their interests are much deeper in terms of National Security than ours are, and so lets figure out and i think that the good news is that our interests in terms of what the end game is line up very clearly with china. So lets take advantage of that moment. It doesnt happen off globally and figure out how we can more deeply work with them. Thank you. Thank you. One last question on that issue that mr. Pendergast mentioned about looking for leverage and targeting sanctions of those human rights violations, since youve been intimately involved until very krecently. Do you view that as among others a good leverage point . I think its going to be extremely important in another way. I think personally in the process over the next few years of writing a new constitution and laying a new foundation, that that creates the basis for eliminating from future power a lot of people who are responsible, so whether its in the process of prosecution or some other kind of commission, a lot of people who are very guilty of the kind of terrible violations should not be part of a new government after 2015. And i think that is one of the outcomes that we should see. Well, with the thanks of the committee for your invaluable testimony, i expect that the african subcommittee as well as the full committee will lend continuing attention to the challenges in south sudan, and the leaders on all sides need to recognize that reality, not a singular hearing at a singular moment.
