00:00In my room, there was an escuta clandestine.
00:04In this room, there was a whole equipment of escuta.
00:07You see?
00:10The Bustani's saga started when the director-geral of the OPCW,
00:15the Organization for the Prohibition of Químicas.
00:18When my organization started working,
00:20it spread out in the international community
00:23that there was a different philosophy from the OPAC.
00:26Everybody was treated the same way.
00:28It was at that moment that my relationship with the American Americans
00:31had a gringolou.
00:33We know that the Iraq regime currently has
00:36chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.
00:39If I was released, in 30 days, I would prove that there was nothing.
00:43The Jose and me of you had done something
00:46in relation to Iraq that was unforgivable.
00:49The Bustani didn't realize that his job was to do
00:52what the United States told him.
00:54In this case, to sit down and stay out of the way,
00:56because we're going to war and we're getting rid of Saddam Hussein.
00:59We have urged the director-geral to resign for the good of the organization.
01:02And Bustani said no.
01:03I think that the only explanation is the fact
01:04that I am not prepared to follow orders from Washington.
01:06At that time, who is sending is not us.
01:09There are major forces that come and command.
01:11The power is power.
01:12There were other countries that were more defending Bustani than Brazil.
01:15Those in favor of three.
01:17Those in favor of six.
01:18Those in favor of six.
01:19Those abstaining of six.

01:28Those in favor of three.

01:30Those abstaining of six.
01:31Those abstaining of six.
01:32The decision is not adopted.
01:35That's true.
01:36That's true.
01:37That's true.
01:38Today, in the things that are happening.
01:39The evolving and digital.
01:40The international situation of today.
01:41I must confess that there is a certain decepcence
01:42and a certain anger on my own.
01:44I can't deny that this happens.
01:46That's true.
01:47However, I think you should try.
01:49If my voice is heard, better.
01:52If it is not heard, I can't say anything.
01:54But I at least tried.
