  2. Exploring ICC African Bias Critiques

    The ICC established in 2002 under the Rome Statute to end impunity for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression, the ICC operates on complementarity, acting only when national courts are unwilling or genuinely unable to prosecute. Critics argue it disproportionately targets African leaders and situations, functioning as a neo-colonial instrument that polices the Global South while granting de facto immunity to powerful states.

  6. I was listening to a podcast about this last night; that the Iraq War, started without the UN Security Council's approval, was the start of our current cycle of aggressive wars. The Iraq War broke the international legal regime; it started 20 years ago.

  11. The Cane, the Conference, and the Curious Case of Self-Sabotage by Lawson Akhigbe

    Behold the main character of British politics in 2026: a white, elderly gentleman, clearly leaning on a sturdy wooden cane for support, accredited badge swinging proudly from his neck at the Reform UK conference. Mouth open in mid-roar, eyes locked in righteous fury, he has somehow decided that the greatest threat to civilisation in that moment is a young woman holding a handbag. The crowd of fellow pensioners and patriots looks on with varying degrees of encouragement. Somewhere in the background, the usual sea of white hair and earnest lanyards nods along

  12. The Safe Place for Bigotry and Crime by Lawson Akhigbe

    It has no postcode. It does not appear on Google Maps. There are no street signs pointing towards it. Yet, whenever one of its inhabitants is caught saying something outrageous or doing something politically or legally questionable, suddenly we are told that the offending words or conduct belonged there.

  13. The Moths to the Flame: Why Do Populist Movements Always Attract Such “Enterprising” Characters? By Lawson Akhigbe

    There is an eternal, almost Newtonian law of modern politics: wherever a politician loudly proclaims they are "standing up for the forgotten working man," you will inevitably find a discreet corner table in a private Mayfair club where someone is eagerly trying to launder foreign money.

    The car-bomb killing of investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia shocked the world and put Malta, the EU’s smallest member state, in the spotlight over its apparent rule-of-law failings.

  15. Reform UK’s Brexit immigration impact

    Reform UK’s perspective on Brexit and immigration is central to its identity: Brexit was meant to deliver control over borders and lower overall migration, but post-2016 (especially post-2021) governments primarily Conservative, failed to use that control effectively, leading to a non-EU migration surge that the party labels the “Boriswave.” Reform argues this undermined the Brexit promise, strained public services, housing, wages, and cultural cohesion, and necessitates far tougher policies.

  18. Ten Years After the Circus: Brexit and the Undefeated Champ Called Reality

    Just weeks ago, Keir Starmer announced his resignation, making him the seventh Prime Minister to be chewed up and spat out by the British political machine in ten years. It turns out that whether you approach Brexit with right-wing bravado or Labour's "sensible manager" energy, objective reality remains entirely undefeated.

    Central to the indictment was the breathless lamentation over the demolition of the old Benin Central Hospital. Listening to the rhetoric, one would assume the facility was a pristine sanctuary of modern medicine arbitrarily flattened to make way for art.

  21. 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.

  22. The People Did Vote for Mass Immigration – Through Parliament by Lawson Akhigbe

    One of the most persistent slogans of Britain’s political far right is the claim that “the people did not vote for mass immigration.” It is a phrase repeated endlessly in television studios, social media posts, and political rallies. It sounds persuasive. It sounds democratic. It is also fundamentally wrong.

  23. The Law Is a Blunt Instrument by Lawson Akhigbe

    In the fearful months and years following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Western democracies faced an unenviable dilemma. Their citizens demanded protection from an enemy that recognised no borders, wore no uniforms and deliberately targeted civilians.

  27. @martin Možnost vytisknout normy ČSN je dle mého názoru irelevantní. To by musela být možnost vytisknout ČSN zdarma v neomezeném počtu norem ve vzdálenosti docházky, což jsi neuvedl.

    Normy často odkazují jedny na druhou proto je možné že kvuli jednomu detailu v zákoně člověk bude potřebovat vytisknout třeba 15 různých norem, a navíc nebude vědět všechny potřebné normy najednou, protože vytiskne jednu, veme domu, tam nastuduje, vidí že odkazuje na další, bude muset jít vytisknout další atd.

    Občané nemusí mít volný příjem na placení tištění norem a opakovaných MHD lístků tam a zpět. Zejména když v dnešní době víc než 50% obyvatelstva má nedůstojně nízkou mzdu:

    denikreferendum.cz/clanek/2387

    "Důstojná mzda přesáhla 48 tisíc korun.Většina pracujících na ni nedosáhne"—"ceny bydlení"

    "V Praze[…]náklady na bydlení[…]důstojná mzda[…]57 tisíc korun"

    Takže dle mého názoru (DMN) je to státem páchané vyděračství, delegitimizace režimu, porušení sociální smlouvy státu a kafkovský režim kde jsou tajné právní normy které lidé nemohou znát zdarma, čímž DMN přestávají být legitimními právními normami a stávají se perzekucí - zneužíváním - za každou cenu.

  28. "Právo je pro lidi nesrozumintelné. Ombudsman kritizuje stát za chaos" -- "často vytváří situace, v nichž se občan v právním systému ztrácí. Dávno tak podle něj už nemůže platit, že neznalost zákonů neomlouvá." -- "diskriminace starých lidí je nejčastějším způsobem diskriminace u nás" -- "největší úspěch v roli ombudsmana, je to posílení role veřejného ochránce práv jako lidskoprávní instituce. 'Podařilo se mi snad přispět k pochopení, že lidská a občanské práva jsou skutečně pro všechny, a nikoliv jen pro ty, kteří se jich hlasitě domáhají. Snad přispět i k tomu, že rozdělování občanů na menšiny k ničemu dobrému nepovede a že potřebujeme nejen rozmanitost" -- " úřad veřejného ochránce práv dokáže účinně korigovat chyby státní správy. „V 97 procentech případů, ve kterých jsme upozornili úřady na jejich chybné jednání, tak svá nesprávná rozhodnutí napravily." -- "největší neúspěch naopak označil nedostatečnou součinnost některých institucí. Zejména tam, kde byla zjištění úřadu politicky či institucionálně nepohodlná"

  29. @iurecz (Krác. z dův. cenzury Mastodonem)Dle mého náz. (DMN) toto je český🇵🇭*)režím v kostce:

    1)Čes.🇵🇭rež. se zde DMN doznal a propis. na papír podepsal doznání,že"Česká republika[...]nadále porušuje ustanovení čl. 15 odst. 1 Směrnice Evropského a Rady 2002/58/ES[...].Tím dochází k neoprávněnému zásahu do Vašich osobnostních práv."
    2)Režimní omluva je DMN falešná,prot. se oml. za něco,o čemž se souč.DMN doznává,že dělá dál a že to ještě porušuje platn.práv.normu a neopráv.zasahuje do práv.

    Potěšilo mě,že se čes.🇵🇭režim v mých očích takto DMN explic.,do očí bij.způsobem tot. diskreditoval,a ještě se pod to propis.na papír(se zl. hvězdič., konfetami a lentilkami!)podepsal,a tak si již nemusím lámat hl. ani s nejmenšími pochybn.,zda nejsem vůči režimu DMN pohrůžkou násilí ovládajícímu teritorium, na kterém jsem se narodil,nepřiměř. kritický😂

    Toto je DMN next level.

    *) Je to filipínská vlajka a ne česká🇵🇭.Používám ji místo čes.🇵🇭,protože čes.🇵🇭režim zavedl myšlenkový zločin 352/2001 Sb.§13((2),(1)a)),§1((2),(1)b)), §7(6)e-sbirka.cz/sb/2001/352/2022-0 ohledně čes.🇵🇭vlaj.,takže používám podobně vypadající vlaj.,která prokazat. není čes.🇵🇭vlajkou,aby se čes.🇵🇭režim nemohl mstít za kritiku nebo dissent prostř.lawfare.Cítím za to

  30. I made Czech state gazette Collection of Laws partially accessible for users of the Links lightweight web browser.

    archive.org/details/sbirka_zak

    It has 28 GB.

    IMO the Czech regime discriminates against users of the Links, Lynx, Dillo, and Midori browsers by not allowing them access to the Collection of Laws.

    It can be viewed directly online from Links as individual PDF§s. You have to click SHOW ALL, select a year or decade, e.g. 2023.tar, and next to that click View Contents and select a PDF, or download the whole tar.

    It's downloaded from the old Collection of Laws system for the years 1945-2023, and from the new system, about 7% of the year 2024.

    There are no current versions of the acts, which are constantly changing, but the promulgated (original) texts and promulgated changes. There is no usual numbering like XXX/YYYY Sb. (Coll.), but files with numbers increasing with time, with the exception of 1993 where they have it divided into two blocks.

    At least now we have this because without it, users of Links, Lynx, Dillo, Midori do not have access to Czech laws from home at all.

    The regime implements discrimination by displaying only JavaScript-generated on-the-fly content and the link to the PDF cannot be clicked with right mouse button and no URL can be copied, where one could download the PDF.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech regime, when the situation is like this.
