  1. The #Seneca Nation in upstate New York criticized #Trump’s decision to rename #LakeOntario as Lake America, saying it #violates a more than 225-year-old #treaty & shows a “blatant disrespect” for #Indigenous people who gave it its name

    Renaming violated 1794 Treaty of #Canandaigua, signed by George #Washington & #Hudenosaunee confederacy promising perpetual #peace, friendship. Seneca are 1 of 6 #nations of confederacy, aka #Iroquois #Confederacy

    “Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits ‘rogue state behaviour’”

    [..]

    “Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight.

    “‘Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,’ the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp”

  8. Did you know that #climate played a part in finishing the 'Long #Turkish War'?

    The #Ottoman Empire had battled with the Habsburgs & Co since 1526. In 1593, another 13 years of war ended in the only #Treaty that made the Habsburg #monarch & the Ottoman #sultan equals.

    The 'Little Ice Age' had taken hold of #Europe in the late 16th c.; droughts & cold caused failed harvests & livestock deaths.

    The Ottomans had had strong birth rates in the unusually warm period prior to the Little Ice Age & were now paying the price.

    There was #famine, rinderpest & #rebellions. This resulted in a weakened Ottoman state.

    The Empire was simply not prepared to withstand another defensive effort.

    They recovered enough by 1669 to conquer #Crete & continue the war(s), all the way to 1791.

    '#National’s 2023 mandate ... was a specific, time-bound trust: steady the #economic ship, ease the #cost of living, govern from a broadly centrist place. Three years later, National is ... asking voters to forget the record and judge them instead on a new set of promises. ...

    'The forgotten mandate of 2023

    'In 2023, New Zealanders didn’t vote for an ideological revolution. They voted for a change of management. National’s pitch was pragmatic and restrained: fix the basics, restore confidence, bring some relief to households battered by #inflation and instability.

    'That mandate ... was about #rent, groceries, power bills, #childcare, #wages, and making public services work.

    'Instead of anchoring the government in centrist economic stewardship, National traded that space away, ... to satisfy coalition partners with far sharper ideological agendas.

    'The pivot to culture wars and identity politics

    'Instead of spending its political capital on productivity and shared prosperity, the government spent much of its term fuelling divisive fights ....

    'A #Treaty Principles Bill, driven by ACT and enabled by National, tried to freeze a narrow, Crown-centric reading of Te Tiriti into law. It failed, but the process itself strained social cohesion ....

    'Moves to prioritise English-only branding and pare back te reo Māori in public-sector naming sent a clear message: bilingualism and #Māori visibility were now optional extras, not foundational commitments.

    'In education, “back to basics” rhetoric became a vehicle for rolling back more relational, inclusive approaches to education. ....

    'Trans and #gender diverse communities were ... dragged into the spotlight as ministers flirted with imported culture-war talking points, ....

    'None of this delivered cheaper rent, lower #grocery bills, or shorter #GP wait times. What it delivered was distraction, division, and a clear signal that marginalised communities were expendable

    '#Aotearoa is facing its sharpest constitutional crisis in modern history, as the government professes adherence to Te Tiriti abroad while dismantling it at home, writes international legal practitioner Nicola #Hoobin.'

    'In signing the landmark New Zealand-#India Free #Trade Agreement in April this year, the current #coalition #government exported the #Treaty yet again, embedding a dedicated “Cultural, Traditional Knowledge and Economic Cooperation Chapter” that requires all actions to be executed in a “manner consistent with the Treaty of #Waitangi”.
    '.....the contradiction it presents to domestic strategy creates a fatal blind spot.
    'In New Zealand public law, courts frequently look to international treaties signed by the executive as extrinsic evidence to interpret the scope of the Crown’s fiduciary obligations.
    'So, for example, if #iwi launch #judicial #reviews against the rollbacks of the 19 targeted #statutes — which cover critical resource management, #biosecurity, and primary #industries — the #FTA texts become powerful legal levers.
    'The Crown cannot easily look a High Court judge in the eye and argue that statutory Treaty obligations are vague, unworkable, or a threat to democratic certainty when the executive branch has formally executed international documents telling the UK and EU the exact opposite.
    'The explicit acknowledgments in the EU and UK agreements effectively block the Crown from downplaying the constitutional status of Te Tiriti in a domestic courtroom.
    'This inescapable double standard shifts the ultimate burden of accountability from global panels directly onto our domestic judiciary.
    'Will the New Zealand courts now hold the Crown strictly accountable for its own #international admissions, enforcing the principle that a sovereign government can’t legally define Te Tiriti as a cornerstone of our constitution to the rest of the world while treating it as entirely disposable at home?...'

  15. theguardian.com/world/2026/jun. This is excellent #news! It is very interesting that neither #Ukraine nor #Moldova regard the #EU as a "threat" to their #sovereignty, but, rather, as a #guarantee of it, just as the #Baltic #States do, & they will both benefit from the #mutual #defence clause of the #Treaty of #EuropeanUnion as EU #members. Something of a stark contrast to the "thinking" of #supporters of #Brexit, yes, @pennine?

  16. As #treaty expires, #Russia says it's still ready to talk to #US on #nuclear limits

    Russia said on Thursday it regretted the expiry of its last remaining #NuclearArms treaty with the United States but was still ready to talk, raising the possibility of a last-minute deal to preserve limits on deployment of the world's deadliest weapons.

    [No word from #Trump who probably relishes the idea of a nuclear weapon stockpile]

  18. Invoking the #NATO treaties collective defense clause, known as #Article5, under which an attack on one member is regarded as an attack on all, requires the #unanimity of all 32 #allies. The #US, of course, would reject any plea for help by #Denmark — effectively neutering the #treaty.
    
“Article 5 did not anticipate that the invading country would be a member of NATO,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told reporters asking about bill in #Congress to prohibit #Trump for acting in #Greenland.

  21. TRUTH TELLING & TREATY FORUM

    🗓️ Thursday 20th Jun 2024, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
    🏤 Fitzroy Town Hall, 201 Napier St, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia (or via livestream)
    💰 $0 (First Nations - Online and In-Person), $5 (Online), $5 (General Admission - Unemployed), $10 (General Admission - Employed) or $25 (General Admission - Solidarity)

    💚 Following the devastatingly divisive Voice to Parliament last October, so-called Australians (Yes and Sovereign No/Abstaining voters alike) NEED to be advocating for Treaty and Truth Telling NOW.

    🔗 events.humanitix.com/truth-tel

    Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.

    This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.

    We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.

    Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."

  22. By reneging on their previous support for truth-telling, the Queensland #LNP are also showing they don't really respect the voters they claim to be acting on behalf of.

    The #referendum wasn't about #Truth-telling or #Treaty (despite the No campaign's various fear-mongering attempts to hypothesize all kinds of treaty outcomes). It was about #Voice.

    Qld LNP have decided that when voters said "No" to Voice, what they really meant was no to Voice+Truth+Treaty.

    (Imagine the bemusement at LNP HQ if #QldLabor had responded to the resounding 'Yes' in the 2018 postal survey on #MarriageEquality by saying "what voters have really said here is that they think marriage has been too restrictive, so we're going to introduce legislation for #polycule marriages"...)

    Constitutional legal theory typically embraces the argument that constitutional (rather than merely legislative) protections are necessary to prevent a vulnerable minority from having their rights and basic wellbeing undermined by the desires of the majority. This decision by Qld LNP is an excellent illustration of that very phenomenon (the preferences of the majority trumping the plight of the minority), and so a confirmation of why Indigenous peoples were asking for a constitutional Voice in the first place.

  23. #Hamas has never been a part of the #PLO, in large measure because it is unwilling to accept the PLO’s #treaty agreements w/ #Israel. The most notable among these is the #OsloAccords, which included recognition of Israel by #Palestinians but no Israeli recognition of a Palestinian state or a Palestinian right to #statehood.

    Hamas is attempting to seal the fate of #Fatah, & maneuver to eventually take over the PLO & its int’l diplomatic presence, incl’g #UN observer-state status & embassies….

  24. How to observe #IndigenousPeoplesDay in #Maine

    Dan Neumann October 6, 2023

    "Tribal members and supporters will rally outside the Maine State House in Augusta on Indigenous People’s Day for #Wabanaki self-determination and transparency around Maine’s #treaty obligations toward tribal nations.

    "The rally, organized by the #WabanakiAlliance, a coalition that includes representatives from hundreds of organizations and businesses that support #Wabanaki inherent sovereignty, will start at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 9 outside the capitol and conclude at 11:30 a.m.

    "Participants will be able to make signs and learn more about the 'Yes on 6' campaign ahead of the rally.

    "#Question6 on the November ballot asks whether voters support requiring 'that all of the provisions of the Maine Constitution be included in the official printed copies' distributed by the state.

    "The tribes are supporting the ballot measure because, since 1876, printed copies of Maine’s Constitution have omitted three sections of the original document, including one pertaining to Maine’s treaty obligations toward the tribes.

    "Monday’s Indigenous People’s Day marks a crossroads for the tribes and their allies, after legislation recognizing Wabanaki sovereignty was vetoed by Gov. Janet Mills last summer.

    "The law would have amended the jurisdictional arrangement between the tribes and the state that Indigenous leaders have long criticized for leaving the #WabanakiNations with less authority over natural resources, gaming, taxation, criminal justice and economic development on their lands than 570 other federally recognized tribes.

    "Celebration at Redbank in South Portland

    "Also on Monday, the #SouthPortlandMaine #HumanRights Commission will be hosting an Indigenous People’s Day celebration from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Redbank Community Center, located at 95 MacArthur Circle West in South Portland.

    "The celebration will feature speaker Corey Hinton, a citizen of the #Passamaquoddy Tribe at #Sipayik and a lead lawyer on tribal issues in Maine.

    "The Cape Elizabeth Rotary will also be serving pancakes and maple syrup sourced from #PassamaquoddyMaple, a company that is '100% tribally owned, with a mission to provide a high-end, small batch, product that will not only sustain our tribal land, but also create jobs for our people.'

    "South Portland’s Indigenous People’s Day event is free, family friendly, and open to the public.

    "Other events

    "The #AbbeMuseum in #BarHarbor is holding a week long series of events through Oct. 9 called “#Indigenous2023 – Celebrating Our Sovereignty“, including #storytelling, a #concert and free museum admission.

    "University of Maine, #Farmington [#UMF] is holding events from Oct. 16-19 including a food tasting, storytelling, a film showing and a panel discussion on how to be an ally."

  25. CW: TW Voice to Parliament, AusPol

    The Voice to Parliament debate has been co-opted into a racism litmus test by mainstream media - No for "racist", Yes for "not racist". However, First Nations activists have been protesting and expressing their concerns on the covert, systemic racism of the Yes campaign; from the parallels to other well-meaning but harmful assimilation tactics throughout Australia's colonial history to the white guilt, saviourism and paternalism of prescribing a powerless Voice as the best/only choice for Indigneous people.

    At issue is six additional historic Métis communities the #MNO is claiming.
