“You don’t want to replace one ayatollah with another,” the Israeli prime minister said on Thursday, adding that the Iranian regime was unlikely to be overthrown ​using air strikes alone.

It is “often said” that you can’t “do revolutions from the air”, Netanyahu told a press conference. “There has to be a ground component as well. There are many possibilities for this ground component and I take the liberty of not sharing [those] with you.” #USA / #Epstein / #Israel / #Mileikowsky <https://theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/20/iran-war-live-updates-oil-prices-israel-netanyahu-ground-component-us-tensions-hormuz?filterKeyEvents=false&page=with%3Ablock-69bc952b8f08c0f5c45a85f9#block-69bc952b8f08c0f5c45a85f9>

“The comments come after the US performer Zubeyda Muzeyyen, better known as #DJHaram, is alleged to have claimed the existence of a “vile Zio-Australian-Epstein empire”, among remarks about Palestinian “martyrs”, during her set at the Lights On party for the Biennale’s 25th edition.”

Choose your battle. One side fresh after a #genocide in #Gaza, now invading yet another county, the other #Art making comment and people *feeling uncomfortable* and complaining.

The UN demands independent probe into the killing of Renee Good.

I december besökte Rebecka Lindholm Schulz, sakkunnig på Svenska Freds, “the International City of Peace and Justice” – Haag. I Haag finns de två internationella domstolarna ICJ och ICC, som kan döma stater och individer för folkrättsbrott. Syftet med resan var att bevaka det årliga statspartsmötet i en av dessa domstolar: Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC).

Rebeckas reflektion: Är det nu vi begraver folkrätten?

The #IJC ordered #Israel on Fri to “immediately halt” its offensive in #Rafah in south #Gaza. The court cited “exceptionally grave” developments for the already “extremely vulnerable” population in Rafah…,& said it was “not convinced that the evacuation effort” for #Palestinian #civilians in Gaza is sufficient to “alleviate the immense risk.” Israel, which has rejected the genocide charges,…described the case as “divorced from the facts.”

@washingtonpost it'll be interesting. I didn't watch SA, nor read their application. Was it substantively the same:

apartheid for 75+ years
genoicide

with no mention of hamas? That the #ijc can only passively wait for SA to involve Hamas seems absurd.

U.S., Canada Agree to IJC Intervention on Transboundary Mining Pollution

Calling it 'an important first step' to solve mining pollution on the Elk-Kootenai River watershed, tribal and First Nation governments in Montana, Idaho and British Columbia cheered the long-awaited reference to the International Joint Commission

By Tristan Scott
March 11, 2024

"Federal governments in #Canada and the U.S. have agreed to ask the #InternationalJointCommission (#IJC) to study and take steps to mitigate the inflow of mining pollution to the #ElkRiver-#KootenaiRiver watershed through a joint reference, signaling a breakthrough in bilateral talks that have stalled for years, even as the company that owns the mines expands its footprint along the border with #Montana.

"The agreement was announced Monday by tribal and #FirstNation governments in Montana, #Idaho and #BritishColumbia (B.C.) who cheered the development after years of intensifying pressure on the #US and Canada. The reference means that an independent governance body representing both nations will convene to craft solutions to address the contaminants spilling into a watershed that crosses the international boundary at #LakeKoocanusa and spans #traditional #Aboriginal territory.

"The federal governments of both U.S. and Canada also confirmed the reference on Monday and issued a joint statement from the Ambassador of Canada to the United States, Kirsten Hillman, and the Ambassador of the United States to Canada, David L. Cohen. According to Pierre Cuguen, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada (#GAC), both countries 'have reached an Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) on next steps to further bilateral cooperation to reduce and mitigate the impacts of #WaterPollution” in the #transboundary #watershed.

"'The AIP provides a plan for Canada and the United States, with the assistance of the International Joint Commission, to take a holistic look at the watershed and build a shared understanding of the best available water quality data and science,' Cuguen said in an email, adding that both countries will work in concert 'with #IndigenousPeoples and #TribalNations and alongside provincial and state partners in the region.'

"'The Government of Canada is committed to safeguarding the transboundary #ElkKootenay watershed to protect the people and species that depend on this vital river system' according to Cuguen (the Canadian and First Nation spelling of Kootenai is “#Kootenay”).

"Meanwhile, tribal leaders on both sides of the border were triumphant after urging a reference for more than a decade, often with vague support from their federal counterparts.

"In Montana, Michael Dolson, chairman of the Confederated #Salish and #Kootenai Tribes (#CSKT), said the IJC reference is an essential first step in protecting fish and water quality in#LakeKoocanusa and the Kootenai River.

"'For too long, the U.S. and Canada have stood by while our waters suffered,' Dolson said in a prepared statement released Monday. “We are encouraged by the'federal governments’ change in direction and the progress that was achieved when we all worked together these past months. We will continue to work tirelessly to restore our rivers and the fish and wildlife that depend upon them. We’re at the beginning of what will likely be a long process, one that will require sustained effort from all governments involved.'"

A new deal may help reduce water pollution in Montana, Idaho

The U.S. and tribal governments make progress against contaminated coal mine runoff from British Columbia, which has been polluting Montana and Idaho for years

"A new agreement between the U.S., Canada and Indigenous people on both sides of the northern border may signal a breakthrough in reducing transboundary water pollution. Tribes and the U.S. government have complained about Canadian inaction for more than a decade. Montana Public Radio's Aaron Bolton reports."

If you’re interested in #microplastics in the #GreatLakes, do we have an #iaglr23 session for you! This session is the launch of a new #IJC project. We hope to capitalize on all the #plasticpollution #research happening in the basin to develop a #riskassessment and #monitoring framework. We’re soliciting abstracts now until *January 27*!
Don’t worry, I’ll remind you in January 😁

Correction:
... These mines are not only polluting the #water in BC, AB, MT, ID [ #IJC]; they're polluting whole #watersheds in BC & AB via atmospheric deposition of dust from mining waste. dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.2c00677

I know you're shocked.

For a decade Ktunaxa Nation has been calling for a Canada-U.S. body to investigate #coal #pollution. New records show the B.C. government and Teck Resources lobbied against it. These mines are not only polluting the #water supply; they're polluting #watersheds in BC, AB, MT, ID #IJC
