  1. @kibcol1049 Oh well, that’s fine then. Violate the #GenevaConvention have illegal wars, manipulate the markets, #Brownlivesmatter but not to them.

  2. #DonaldTrump commits more #WarCrimes ! #MAGA #DiaperDon is probably too senile/stupid to realize there is no statute of limitations on breaking the #GenevaConvention & he can't pardon his way out of that.

  3. These attacks correspond to all elements of a war crime." — Iran's UN Ambassador Ali Bahreini. 165 girls killed in Minab. Schools bombed. Hospitals destroyed. Residential areas targeted. International law is clear: deliberately attacking civilians is a CRIME. The US and Israel are criminals. The world must condemn them. The world must stop them. #WarCrimes #USEmpire #IsraelTerrorState #UN #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention #IranUnderAttack #StopTheAggression

  4. The lawyers accuse Cassis of complicity with #Israel in #warcrimes, crimes against #humanity, and genocide in #Gaza. They argue that Cassis, as #Switzerland’s foreign minister, bears responsibility for #Swiss policies that violate the #GenevaConvention and fail to uphold International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This is the first time a Swiss minister has been named in a case submitted to the #ICC in #TheHague

  5. If you're a #US #soldier and you attack #Venezuela, I will not pretend you're blameless. Sure, #Trump and other #politicians deserve a greater share of the #blame, but I'm not going to pretend that the #GenevaConvention doesn't apply to you or that your college #education is more important than #Venezuelans' lives.

  6. Charlie Angus Canadian Member of Parliament speaks out: "on November 30, the “Secretary of War” (Pete Hegseth) posted a sickening meme: "Franklin the turtle shooting down boats from a helicopter."

    This has disturbed me deeply to see the people of the #USA so dehumanized and condoning murder. With Children's literature! 😱

  12. From 2021: #Palestine’s forgotten oil and gas resources

    A fair distribution of #Oil and gas resources in the Levant Basin will be needed to achieve a lasting political and economic settlement between Israel and Palestine.

    by Mahmoud Elkhafif

    Excerpt: "The prolonged closure and recurrent military operations in Gaza have left more than half the territory’s population living below the poverty line and cost $16.7bn in lost GDP annually. This figure does not account for the huge opportunity cost of preventing the Palestinian people from using their natural gas field off the shores of Gaza.

    "The 1995 Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the #WestBank and #GazaStrip, known as the #OsloII Accord, gave the #PalestinianAuthority (PA) maritime jurisdiction over its waters up to 20 nautical miles from the coast. The PA signed a 25-year contract for gas exploration with the#BritishGas Group in 1999, and a large gas field, #GazaMarine, was discovered at 17 to 21 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza the same year. However, despite initial discussions between the Israeli government, the PA and British Gas on the sale of gas from this field and the provision of much-needed revenue to the occupied Palestinian territories, the Palestinians have not realised any benefits.

    "Since the blockade of Gaza in 2007, the Israeli government has established de facto control over Gaza’s offshore natural gas reserves. The contractor, British Gas, has since been dealing with the Israeli government, effectively bypassing the Palestinian government regarding exploration and development rights.

    "Israel has also taken control of the #Meged oil and natural gas field, located inside the occupied #WestBank. Israel states that the field lies west of the armistice line of 1948, yet most of the reservoir is situated beneath the #PalestinianTerritory occupied since 1967.

    "More recently, Israel has begun to develop new oil and gas finds in the Eastern Mediterranean, solely for its own benefit.

    "In commandeering and exploiting Palestinian oil and gas resources, Israel is acting in violation of the letter and the spirit of #TheHague Regulations, the Fourth #GenevaConvention and a body of international #humanitarian and #HumanRights law that addresses the exploitation of common resources by an occupying power, without regard for the interest, rights and shares of the #occupied population."

    #war #targetedkilling #GenevaConvention

  18. While diving into the latest #Killnet news, I stumbled upon something I wasn't aware yet -- the colloquially named Geneva Code of cyber-war. It defines the rules of engagement for civilian hackers involved in international conflicts. The rules were defined through the International Committee of the Red Cross.

    I am unsure, if hacktivists are very keen in following it, but having such a convention appears to be pretty useful to minimize civilian harm.

  19. The reports on #Hungary & #ElSalvador are among 20 countries whose reports, the memo directs, must be flagged for special review by a "Senior Advisor" in the #State dept — a political appointee. The other countries flagged include #Argentina, #Egypt, #SouthAfrica, #Russia, #Ukraine, #Serbia, #Italy, the #Philippines, #Canada, #Mexico & the #UnitedKingdom.

  20. The reports will still include #HumanRights matters that are specifically required by #law, including #WarCrimes & #genocide, #antisemitism, worker rights & child marriage. Attacks on #freedom of the #press have to be reported, although not those on freedom of expression for *regular* citizens.

  21. As secretary of #state, #Rubio is now responsible for the reports. He's the person who, traditionally, would promote their release to the public. But under his stewardship, those violations he cited — #SexualExploitation of #women & #children & the denial of #PoliticalRights to minorities — are being deleted from the reports.

    #HumanRights #Trump #TerrorState #UnitedStates #Authoritarianism #Dictatorship #Autocracy #Tyranny #MafiaState #Freedom #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  22. In 2013, then-Sen. #MarcoRubio underscored the importance of these audits, saying they shed light on "foreign governments' failure to respect" citizens' fundamental rights … from the #SexualExploitation of #women & #children to the denial of #PoliticalRights to *#minorities*."

    He said the reports show that "the #UnitedStates will stand with #freedom-seeking people around the world."

  23. Pompeo formed a Commission on Unalienable Rights that focused on Revolution-era & post-WWII notions of rights, de-emphasizing issues like #discrimination & #ReproductiveRights, putting more focus on religious freedom & the right to private property.

    The memo reviewed by NPR outlines changes that are far more sweeping.

  24. "You also can't overstate the damage it will do to that credibility if the #Trump administration's edits are seen to diminish — not just the scope of what are defined as #HumanRights, but also if those edits are seen to play favorites."

    Fmr Secy of #State #MikePompeo complained during the first Trump admin about what he called "a proliferation of human rights," & he moved to pare them back.

    #TerrorState #UnitedStates #Tyranny #MafiaState #Freedom #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  25. People who specialize in #HumanRights work told NPR they worry about the effect the cuts will have on the documents' influence within the #international community.

    "You can't overstate the value in the real world of the annual #State Dept human rights reports being credible & impartial," said Christopher Le Mon, until Jan a dpty asst secy in State Dept's Bureau of #Democracy, Human Rights & Labor.

    #Trump #TerrorState #US #Autocracy #Tyranny #MafiaState #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  26. András Lederer from #Hungary's oldest & largest #HumanRights group, the Hungarian Helsinki Cmte, told NPR that the #State Dept's new policy weakens the position of human rights defenders in countries that have a problematic track record on these issues.

    "You're removing pressure, & it definitely sends the message to the perpetrators that this is not important for [the US] anymore," Lederer said.

    #Trump #TerrorState #UnitedStates #Tyranny #MafiaState #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  27. In the report on #Hungary, a marked-up version of which was distributed as a model for how to apply the new directives, the section titled "#Corruption in Government" is struck out. Hungary's PM Viktor #Orban has been called an #authoritarian, & previous reports have noted restrictions to civil liberties. #Trump has called him "a great man & a great leader in #Europe."

    #HumanRights #TerrorState #US #Dictatorship #Autocracy #Tyranny #MafiaState #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  28. In a draft of the forthcoming report on that country reviewed by NPR, the #ElSalvador section on #prison conditions is ERASED. The only remnants of those violations are reports on prison deaths that fall into the category of "extrajudicial killings" & a mention of #abuse by prison guards in a legislatively mandated section on "#Torture & #Cruel, #Inhuman, or #Degrading Treatment or Punishment."

    #HumanRights #Trump #TerrorState #US #Tyranny #MafiaState #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  29. By #law, the #State Dept releases annual reports for every country, & they traditionally follow one basic outline. The cuts ordered in the #Trump admin memo are not targeted at specific countries. Rather, they eliminate entire categories of #abuses from all the reports.

    But some deletions are more noteworthy than others. The Trump admin recently negotiated the transfer of #immigrants from the #US into #ElSalvador's notorious #prison system.

    #HumanRights #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  30. Among other topics ordered to be struck from the reports:

    Involuntary or coercive #medical or #psychological practices.

    Arbitrary or unlawful interference with #privacy.

    Serious restrictions to #internet #freedom.

    Extensive #gender-based #violence.

    Violence or #threats of violence targeting people with #disabilities.

    #HumanRights #Trump #TerrorState #UnitedStates #Authoritarianism #Dictatorship #Autocracy #Tyranny #MafiaState #Freedom #law #InternationalLaw #GenevaConvention

  31. NPR confirmed the memo's authenticity w/2 sources close to the process.

    The reports, released in March or April most years, are highly anticipated by foreign leaders & diplomats w/ a stake in how their countries are portrayed. The 2024 reports were initially completed in January, before #Trump took office, but they've been re-edited by the new admin. #State Dept sources say the revised versions won't be released until May.
