Rwanda judicial system not independent

dimanche 3 décembre 2023 à 20:21

Rwanda's judicial system is not independent, and therefore does not try to do justice. It does what "president" orders. So it can hardly be trusted to protect the rights of people seeking asylum in Britain (or anywhere).

It might, quite the contrary, try to win favors from a UK government by making refugees disappear before their asylum cases are heard.

Abetting colonialists

dimanche 3 décembre 2023 à 20:21

Handing over the Falkland Islands (and their inhabitants) to Argentina's ambition would be abetting colonialists.

Don't be led astray by the fashionable term "global south" -- we must not judge the morality of an action by whether the country committing it thie time is on the "historical victims" list.

Urgent: dismiss Moore v. United States

dimanche 3 décembre 2023 à 20:21

US citizens: call on the Supreme Court to dismiss Moore v. United States.

Supreme Court members Roberts and Alito own stock in companies that could win around 30 billion dollars from a decision they will soon participate in.

Australia large fossil fuel project

samedi 2 décembre 2023 à 23:34

Australia is considering approving large fossil fuel projects that could emit 10 times Australia's remaining greenhouse emissions budget.

Many Australian industries are emitting just as in 2003.

The Labor government was a big step om from the previous right-wing government that would tell basically any lie to wreck Earth as a place to live. But it is still surprisingly bad compared with what civilization needs to survive.
