Courts as Gatekeepers
In Germany, attempts to challenge arms exports to Israel have repeatedly failed to reach the merits. Courts have dismissed claims for lack of standing, characterised alleged harm as merely indirect, or declined to engage altogether. The German cases are not exceptional. Across European jurisdictions, similar challenges to arms export aut

In February 2026, the German Federal Constitutional Court declined to admit a constitutional complaint brought by a Palestinian applicant from Gaza challenging German arms exports to Israel.

The Illusion of Compliance
Prior to 2024, litigation against arms export licenses constituted an infrequent legal remedy in Germany. This was caused by interconnected determinants, comprising the complex dual structure of the German arms export laws and insufficient transparency in arms export decisions. Simultan

@maudenificent
A bit harsh, but I understand the sentiment behind it. I agree that the Law should be impartial and should reflect the wish of the people it serves — that is, all of us. As community expectations change, so should the law. I believe that Australian Law is largely guided by precedents until new legislation is enacted to provide new cases to be tested in the Courts (I’m not a lawler so this is what I surmise).As for the #Entitled #RichBastards, as you suggest, we could stich them by changing fines to be commensurate with the level of #Wealth held by the offending individual or corporation entity and should be sufficiently burdensome to prevent recidivism. This would also provide better outcomes for those less well off and put an end to #StrategicLitigation (SLAPP).
But it is what it is. Until we vote a govt in that is willing to change the laws accordingly.

Interesting:
"Taken together, the [European Media Freedom Act]’s provisions offer a tiered but genuinely meaningful landscape for strategic litigation.
Strategic litigation is, however, neither a panacea nor a guarantee. Its effectiveness depends on judicial independence, adequate legal resources, and the willingness of courts to engage with politically sensitive (legal) questions."

You don't necessarily have to win a #climate lawsuit, to get a win.
