Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all three of you gentlemen for being here today.
Mr. Khan, in your opening statement you referred to the rule of the law as “a shelter” for victims. In earlier questioning it became apparent—some of the effects of the lack of universalism—particularly in questions on Iran from my colleagues.
I am not burdened, as a colleague of mine says in the House often, with a legal education, so my questions might be a little naive. I have a daughter who has one, so don't confuse that with a lack of respect.
The 123 states parties have signed on. Does the lack of universalism affect any of your work in state party countries, given their relationships with non-state party countries? Is your work impeded at all?
