'Our interpretation of UNSC resolution on Gaza cease-fire 'non-binding': US State Dept
During a press briefing, journalist challenged US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller regarding the characterization of the UNSC Ceasefire Resolution as 'non-binding.' 'We didn't veto because we thought the language, as it relates to the cease-fire, and the release of hostages, was consistent with the long-standing United States position,' Miller added. According to the UN Charter, all Security Council resolutions are legally binding under international law. Israel is in compliance with the Biden administration’s national security memorandum, which says any country receiving weapons from the US must provide 'credible and reliable' assurances that they’re following humanitarian law.

I have never experienced such hypocrisy, contradiction, criminalities, racism, unhumanitarian, and nazism at such degree and such level in my entire life
People in the west don’t have any idea how much evil Muslims embrace in the name of religion.. Jews and Hindus who have suffered the most know it very well.. because 60-70 million Jews died in last 2000 years both in hands of Christians during crusades + Islamic invasions, Assyrians and Nazis, 500 million Hindus died in last 1400 years mainly because of Islam.. 71% of Gaza population believes Oct 7 attack was justified in a recent vote.. pls listen to Israel envoy to UN speech Hamas has not arrived from Mars in thousands .. nor nature creates serial killer like psychopaths at scale.. they are indoctrinated like Nazis, like ISIS and like Hamas .. using the same tool the rest of Gazans read, or the entire Islamic world.. There is no evidence so far that suggests Israel is targeting civilians on purpose.. If the west today goes against Israel, tomorrow it will pay a huge price like Europe is paying now.. Like US paid in 9/11 .. No one went against US when it responded to 9/11 and they responded in a much greater way than Israel did after Oct 7..
It’s the wording in the resolution that makes it non binding
You never met Hamas it seems.
@@legal-force no but we have met the world's biggest terrorist, Israel
wow, you know you are not special right? Anyone can say random words.
Its binding to other UN nations but not the pathetic U.S.
Yeah tell that to the Russians. They don't have the pleasure of "selective memory loss" Next: Taiwan. How China will "Attack" them? If you don't know... The U.S knows!
Absolutely 😢😢😢
the opposite is more accurte.
He is saying something far worse- He is stating that it is non-binding for Israel which cannot be obliged to commit to a ceasefire.
Hamas will not release hostages, so Israel will declare the resolution null and void. The thing cannot be "binding" if both sides ignore it. This is the reality of the situation, just watch. .
The greatest wtf answer in history.
It’s not a funny situation but cracking up!
Dracula needs to be put in jail with no food or water as he has done to the Palestinians.
He is Dracula, he doesn’t eat food or drink water…he sucks blood
Had to laugh at that one, the resemblance to the late great Bela Lugosi is definately there
Evilness to another level! Devils in our governments!
You mean hamas boss?
Pathetic response from US
This guy is completely wrong. The resolution IS binding according to UN rules & law. Maybe he just has never bothered to read the rules of the UN & the security council.
Yeah tell that to the Russians. They don't have the pleasure of "selective memory loss" Next: Taiwan. How China will "Attack" them? If you don't know... The U.S knows!

Yes it is biinding and Guttierez said, yesterday that.
@@Kiraztecno they don’t
Oh he knows, he does not care may be what you are missing
He laughs like he doesn’t have a permanent seat in hell. What an absolute joke this man is
Permanent seat in HELL, WITHOUT any veto voting powers! 😅
He event smile when talk about Palestinian civilian died before..
@@mazkebar The Devil has a veto, and he's gonna use it every time to keep him from leaving hell
This guy has one of the most difficult jobs ever ! he has to lie every single day
It's not difficult for him. He enjoys this. Everytime he has to stitch up a highly absurd and complicated lie he grinns from ear to ear.
He could quit.
His time is running out...
His pockets are lined for each of these gaslighting sessions. He enjoys it.
You mean talk out of his backside
Massively contradictory. How can it be non binding? It is binding. It is a UNSC resolution.
Story
What they should of asked is “ is it only non binding because its Israel”
Lol say that to putin😂😂
@@bobbyjpg You'll notice that he doesn't travel to countries that are signed up to the ICC. Because they may be forced to arrest him, causing a massive international conflict. Also, currently, Russia is only in Russia. Crimea and the 2 other regions have been simply absorbed by the Russian Federation. They are now Russia. Any NATO intervention will automatically require a nuclear response.
Its non binding. it means it lacks provisions that coerce one to adhere to it.
It is binding when against Muslims (Iraq, Afghanistan,)not binding against terrorist state
Russians too... They have selective memory loss. When is election time, memory kind of comes back.
Yeah tell that to the Russians. They don't have the pleasure of "selective memory loss" Next: Taiwan. How China will "Attack" them? If you don't know... The U.S knows! F around, to find out
you are funny, if Israel is a terrorist state what is Iraq, Afghanistan etc.....Your Mumu dey smell
Absolutely spot on
Yeah, tell that to the Russians. They don't have the pleasure of "selective memory loss" The "non-binding" argument was used more times than the United States of Alzheimer's wants to admit. Next: Taiwan. How China will "Attack" them? If you don't know... The U.S knows! Stay around to find out!;
All I hear from this guy is 'I am a lying hypocrite, I am not ashamed that I am lying hypocrite and I will continue to be a lying hypocrite.'
Shame on US! Free Palestine!! 🇵🇸
Free it from Hamas
@@NotgiveFfree it from all Palestinians it’s all Israel land 🇮🇱 ☝️
Fuck ‘paLIEstine’
Free Israel from Arab colonial settlers
@@Lp-ru3zyou better start packing land grabber…
What he means is only the western countries get to decide what is binding and non-binding. Its about power and world order not justice or global humanity.
Spot on!!
That's what it is!
That’s exactly what he is saying.
It carries weight and should be implemented, but it is none binding? What the fuck?
It means Israel may continue persuing Hamas, but through operations to avoid civilian casualties
It's a useless resolution, because there are no punishment clauses like sanctions or military intervention clauses.
Excuses. Binding for everybody else but magically not in this case. The world and the legal experts are not stupid.@@eastafrica1020
@@user-ff8eu4bb1i really? Do u believe in that?
It is incredible what politics has come to in the USA where hypocrisy reigns day by day, being a shame for humanity.
Do this make Cuba embargo non binding?
Yeah tell that to the Russians. They don't have the pleasure of "selective memory loss" Next: Taiwan. How China will "Attack" them? If you don't know... The U.S knows!
Yes but every resolution of the UNSC is binding. We the World decide that every resolution is binding, and what the US State Dept says is irrelevant.
Do you think the world is going to intervene ? Think again 😂😂. What's happening is the end of UN project.
This is a special one, it came without any provisions to enforce it. They can continue doing, but avoid violating international laws.
Amen! Let's dismantle the U.N. and form a coalition of the Righteous Nations (RN). @@bobbyjpg
@@legal-force Well if it's going to give democratic rights to dictators to subvert democracy count me out 😂😂
Yeah, right. Giving dictatorial rights to democracies is way better 😂
This is beyond ridiculous
@8:15 "The US cannot dictate to any sovereign country" Oh really? Matthew Miller doesn't know what he's talking about.
Iraq literally asked you to leave sir and then you play like you’re protecting them from Iranian imports 😮
That’s a new low from the US as far as the International Law is concerned
What a historic joke 😀😃
Despicable
I'm so ashamed of these "government representatives" the US does not decide if a UN resolution is binding or not. playing these games will lead to more people dying. its completely shameful.
What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
😂😂😂 TY for the much needed laugh ❤
The Security Council resolutions hold a binding force. Rejecting their authority is tantamount to denying the existence of international law.
"International law" is not what a lot of people think it is. The U.N. is not a government. .
Is this guy for real? You expect parties to sit at a table and negotiate while one party is committing a genocide? You cease all hostilities and THEN sit down. Lord have mercy on such idiots.
Only if you can't walk and chew gum at the same time... .
The UN resolutions are the law after they pass... Has this man read UN laws?
He only reads what ai pac hands him to read
"we vetoed them so they were not they were not the voice of the security council" (1.59)..actually they ARE voice of the whole world.....your opinion does NOT negate what every body else thinks:
With other words: its nice to have the UN for the formality and we decide whether we act upon it based on our interests. This confirms my conviction that the UN is an organization invented to legalize the criminal actions of US and its allies and it has zero power against the big economies. Poor countries have to follow each letter of the resolutions otherwise US and UK, etc. wil come in military action.
well said, and let us make it clear once for all that when we talk about the UN, in other words we are talking about the USA; same to same.
He's going to really enjoy his War Crimes trail.
How about palestinians hostage?
There aren't any
@@davidcooks2379true, they call it war prisoners… the nerve mate
Give them weapons but not military advice. These politicians are out of their minds
We will not forget, and we will never forgive..
2:10 - "We want to see resolutions that pass reflect the policy positions of the United States" He finally said something that wasn't a lie. The US vetoes any UN resolutions that don't serve them.
A liar doesn’t have a good memory …eventually they trip themselves up like he just did .
Well, that makes sense, no?
@@davidcooks2379Sense? Of course it does. The US profits greatly from the genocide of vulnerable peoples. Not any of this blatantly feigned righteousness drivel he's said before, and after, has any truth.
Liar liar pants on fire 😂😂😂
They are censoring
@@ytrewq12345 Criminals are always shameless
The USA.. sometimes you wonder if they are even in the same room as everyone else
Making joke out of themselves😂😂😂
Abstaining is the cowards way out no matter who does it.
"Caries weight and should be respected" How much weight? And who determines the amount of respect? These state dept. people think The American People are stupid.
The 1947 UN resolution that created Israel. Was that non-binding?
Great question - get in that briefing room and ask him!!!
It's OBVIOUSLY legally BINDING because ALL countries voted or the WHOLE UN voted. That was a different situation because it was about ESTABLISHING a state for Israel.
He smiles ever time he lies. That's his "tell" lol. And he smiles a lot
Any time someone needs to explain one item by telling you the greater importance any another, indirect item that is all the explanation needed. US uses the UN to achieve it's own goals and ignores when it even mildly disagrees. Also saying they're non-binding so countries doesn't need to follow, and they are important as they carry weight and countries should follow ... ??!
The US Government does not expect Israel to comply with the UNSC resolution so saying that it's not binding (when it definitely is) means it does not have to condemn Or criticise Israel for not complying. That's sick
😂 the US State Dept is taking this dark comedy to a new level :) that guy says something, his boss (Secretary of State) is saying another thing quite contradictory to what his spokesman say (like the famine in 100% of Gaza population, unheard of, while the spokesman says no evidence of violation of humanitarian law !!!)...the president says a third thing ... what the hell is going on with this administration?
America has to fall to see peace around the world.
it's "binding" when we can be bothered to confirm that it is binding - US
bye bye any moral legitimacy the US could ever lay claim to. nite nite.
If UNSC is not binding then the proclamation of State of Israel should be void.
This will be a precedence. Future parties may consider any UN decision can be non binding as well.
So essentially, do what the USA wants or you don’t do anything at all. The mentality of a bully.
What kind of precedent is UN setting for the future?
UNSC resolution only biding for Muslim countries like it happened with Iraq in 2003
You need to replace your legal team if you believe the resolution is "non binding".All United Nationd resolutions are international law and therefore binding.
Does the US not realize how ludicrous this is ? Where was Miller when the villain was Sadam Hussein ?
Mathew Miller is an extraordinary deflector. He cleverly provides ambiguous cover for this genocide.
He aged like good wine. Well articulated and spoken. This world needs more of his kind
What about the Palestinian Hostages . U don't want to talk about them because u believe they not Human
What he is actually saying is that the ceasefire resolution is non-binding for only the US and Israel
These cowards are so cowardly they only care about the “non binding “verbiage not caring about a cease fire…oh it’s binding
Unless these people face consequences for what they say do and support, the frustration towards them grows ... They are all monsters
Journal men do not waste your time and questions with these Dijjal worshipers.
I can actually explain this man’s response more accurate. What he is saying is, “ blah, blah, blah, um,blah, blah” know we all understand his response.
If the UNSC resolutions are not binding, then what is UNSC stand for? Its better to close it and save from wastage of millions of dollars and resources of nations money.
Offcours not its not in your favour
I want a government that represents 'We the People' and no one else!
“If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. But if they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.” - Dave Chappelle
Unsc resolution carries weight and should be respected, but we do not think this resolution is binding. Greatest wtf answer in history.
Word salad. What's up with world leaders??
He is not a leader , he is a mouthpiece
US: "It is binding only when we say it is, ok!"
Whatever he said makes absolutely no sense
Verbal diarrhea
It's not binding because the US says so.
Was the music being played in the session or is it to distort the brain of some listener.
In many occasions the US consider UNSC resolutions binding only if they are in favor of the US or their allies, other resolutions like the UNSC Resolution like the 242 and 338 were never considered as binding nor for Israel or the US. So why would you expect the US to change it's mind?
Actually it is binding and they're breaking the law if they fail to comply.
It is only one time not binding
We believe in a rule's based order but there is an exception to ever rule and that except is Israel
He keep saying our "belief". Rule and order are disregard of anyone belief. The resolution carries weight and should be implemented, but not binding. They are good and carried weight, but not binding to all parties. What is he saying? Is it my lack of English comprehension. 🙏 🙏
Disgusting
They really think we're all fools.
The US f. d up big time!!! Don't trust corrupt and spineless politicians!!! 😂😂
This guy has talked our both sides of his mouth so much it's ridiculous; I wonder how much he has to hate himself? Does he sleep well? Someday he'll get his and I hope to witness it
Security Council Resolutions are binding according to International Law and that is why the veto exists. General Assembly Resolutions are on the whole and with few exceptions non biding.
this is insane the US state department has ruled that this is a NON-binding resolution and so . . . no ceasefire
UN IS A CIRCUS SHOW. SINCE ISREAL DOESN'T OBEY , NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO OBEY 😂😂😂
Time for a UN peace-keeping/monitoring force to be deployed.
shame less
You know there is something wrong when the spokesman is Dracula
The release of hostages on both sides?
This guy looks like a real live caricature of an email movie villain.
TAKE A SUMMER VACATION TRIP TO UN CIRCUS SHOW 😂😂😂😂
The US is bending itself in so many hypocrisies for a pariah state will eventually cause them untold problems. To suggest that UN Security Council resolutions are non binding is chilling. Even the Europeans will abandon them.
Another video shows how the Gaza genocide has allowed the world to see Israel for what is really is and in same way this video shows the US for the utter moral vacuum that it is and the simple spewing of words like "democracy" and "freedom" is exposed as hypocritical cant.
The man is laughing or smiling or joking,joker not clear
Dracula finds genocide funny
Ceasefire is a military term regarding two armies. This is a cease slaughter we want. The Nazis believed Jews were a threat to The Reich and they too had the right to self defence.
UN IS A CIRCUS SHOW. SINCE ISREAL DOESN'T OBEY , NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO OBEY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
UN should invoke article VII immediate in GAZA! Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter sets out the UN Security Council's powers to maintain peace. It allows the Council to "determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression" and to take military and nonmilitary action to "restore international peace and security".
Such horrible hypocrisy 😢! Sad 😢
He finally said it. Some of the resolutions included a majority vote that the US vetoed. He said that's the voice of the UN. wth bruh
So any UN resolution that is passed by member states is only binding if the US says so!!
The more that this guy and guys like him talk the more unpopular Israel & the US is going to get.
Binding or non-binding depends on your international and military power, period
