The EU is urged to use an obscure blocking statute to protect the ICC from Trump sanctions.
The EU has been urged to hit back at Donald Trump’s administration’s sanctions campaign against the International Criminal Court – by invoking a little-known ‘blocking statute’ that would ban companies and banks from complying with the sanctions.

#Climate #refugees are not protected under existing #internationallaw
"The 1951 Refugee Convention would need to expand the definition of who qualifies as a refugee. It should recognise internal displacement as a valid reason for protection. It should also include climate change and natural disasters as events that can seriously disrupt public order."
"This approach is already reflected in two regional refugee agreements. One is the 1969 Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, also known as the OAU Convention. The other is the 1984 Cartagena Declaration on Refugees, also known as the Cartagena Declaration."

»“I just think (…) they know that that’s not likely. Now saying that, in the Golan with Syria, they still occupy the Golan against the UN resolutions, against all of the international order, which has said the Golan is Syria's,” Barrack said.

DONALD TRUMP’S FINANCIAL CRIMES EXPOSED: Lowkey Unmasks The $2.3B Racket
Posted by Jerry Alatalo | August 20, 2026
[Editor’s note: You’ll need to take notes and listen twice to record the long list of criminal operations undertaken by the Trump Crime Family, which Lowkey successfully describes in this important 11-minute presentation. After you become extraordinarily shocked and disturbed over the truthful, hugely-distressing facts you hear from Lowkey, please share far and wide, – and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

The Invisible Invasion: Britain’s Immigration Panic and the Arithmetic It Cannot Face By Lawson Akhigbe
Black people account for roughly four percent of the population of England and Wales. More of them are in the EastEnders cast than are arriving on the asylum route in any given year. Yet Britain has contrived to make this the defining political question of the age. We should talk about that. -

I must assume that Trump’s next move is going to be to close all air traffic in and out of the USA? After all his mangled efforts to bully other countries are simply making the country a pariah state (in the past we have had many easier regimes to ignore). Better get on with accelerating the move away from a US controlled banking system that enables a Prez to remove Mastercard and Visa ‘privaleges’ from whomsoever.

TIL: the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea imposed binding obligations on all governments, whether signatories or not, to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. It is stronger in that respect than the 1992 UN Framework Convention on #ClimateChange.

Wenn Extremismus Regierungslinie wird: Ben-Gvirs gefahrvoller Vorstoß
Mit schockierender Offenheit hat Israels rechtsextremer Polizeiminister Itamar Ben-Gvir in einem Podcast gezielte Tötungen im Gazastreifen gefordert – und explizit betont, dass sich dies nicht nur auf militante Kräfte beschränken solle. „Jede Nacht 30, 40 Menschen entfernen“: Eine menschenverachtende Rhetorik, die gezielte Tötungen von Zivilisten fordert und das Völkerrecht mit Füßen tritt.
Wenn Regierungsmitglieder öffentlich den Tod von Zivilisten fordern, verlässt das nicht nur den Rahmen jeder rechtstaatlichen Ordnung, sondern befeuerte den Konflikt auf gefährlichste Weise.#NahostKonflikt #Gaza #HumanRights #Völkerrecht #Politik #InternationalLaw #killben-gvir #fcknetanyahu

The Sky Becomes a Minefield: How Drone Swarms Are Ending the Age of Air Superiority by Gandalv
NN reports that the pilot of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle, shot down over Iran in April, described a sight that immediately triggered debate inside the U.S. Intelligence Community: multiple Iranian drones in the air, apparently interconnected or coordinated, moving as one. One source described larger drones with smaller drones beneath them, “like legs.” Another described it as a “minefield of drones” in the sky. -
#Israel’s current government & much of its political class view the #WestBank as the biblical & historical homeland of the Jewish people & see the #settlements as key to maintaining security.
Most of the international community views all settlements as illegal & an obstacle to peace.
