The Nazis leveraged legal frameworks like the Nuremberg Laws to persecute Jews, denying them citizenship and civil rights. Similarly, when organizations like the ICC and UN focus excessively on Israel with resolutions and investigations, it raises concerns about fairness and echoes past legal abuses. Legal structures should safeguard rights, not enable persecution. We must prevent such injustices from recurring. #LearnFromHistory

Hong Kong lawmakers passed a new national security law on Tuesday that grants the government more power to quash dissent, widely seen as the latest step in a sweeping political crackdown that was triggered by pro-democracy protests in 2019 The legislature passed the Safeguarding National Security Law during a special session Tuesday. It comes on top of a similar law imposed by Beijing four years ago, which has already largely silenced opposition voices in the financial hub #hongkong #dissent #dissentlaw

World court deals Apartheid Israel another major blow, with Michael Lynk | The Electronic Intifada Description: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague issued a much-anticipated advisory opinion finding that Apartheid Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is illegal and said that all settlers must be withdrawn from occupied territory, and that reparations must be made to Palestinians. Meanwhile, more than 60 governments and other parties are intervening at the International Criminal Court, which is still considering Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request from more than two months ago for judges to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defense minister Yoav Gallant. ___ "All of that means BDS [boycott, divestment and sanctions]! Urgent, immediate BDS by all states and UN bodies. It cannot be interpreted in any other way in my view." Prominent UK human rights lawyer Daniel Machover breaks down the ICJ ruling on the nature of the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory and the duties which now fall on third party states to comply with the ruling. ___ The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Apartheid Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is illegal and that it should come to an end “as rapidly as possible”. #Gaza #Netanyahu #Biden #Trump #Palestine #Israel #ApartheidIsrael #Zionism #Nazism #Imperialism #Capitalism #Socialism ___ Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Lawyers React to K-Drama Queen of Tears: Can Korean Police Arrest You Abroad? 🌍👮♂️ SPOILER ALERT: In a stunning plot twist, the latest episode of the hit K-drama "Queen of Tears" has left viewers gasping as protagonist Hyun-woo faces arrest in Germany. This scene has sparked discussions about the jurisdiction and authority of law enforcement officers beyond their home borders. Central to this discussion is the concept of jurisdiction, which typically confines law enforcement powers within national boundaries. While Korean policemen have authority within Korea, they generally lack the jurisdiction to make arrests abroad without the cooperation or authorisation of local authorities.

Recently proposed judicial reforms in Mexico and Israel have prompted large-scale protests from citizens concerned that these actions jeopardize the integrity of the courts and erode the checks and balances at play between branches of government. In the latest blog post for IGCC's Global Policy at a Glance, Steph Haggard (UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS)) and Lydia Tiede (University of Houston) discuss their takeaways from an analysis of judicial backsliding around the world: https://bit.ly/3CqSJFt

In the wake of 11 September 2001, the USA and the UK led a war later that fall against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Thousands of captured Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters were shipped to a prison facility at Guantánamo Bay. They were held without trial, and for an indefinite duration. Lord Steyn lamented that the prisoners found themselves without any legal protection, and so in “legal black holes.” Of course, there is nothing analogous in the situation at Guantánamo Bay and at McGill. But Guantánamo Bay is the origin of the legal concept of "legal grey hole." It is that concept that we retain here. President H. Deep Saini, Provost Christopher Manfredi and Vice-President Fabrice Labeau are attempting to draw AMPL and its members into a legal grey hole. AMPL went on strike 24 April 2024 after almost a year and a half of frustrating bargaining. Before the strike and during, we called on VP Labeau and his team to sit down with us urgently to settle a collective agreement. We were refused a meeting until 7 June 2024. During this same period, VP Labeau reached out almost weekly to seek meetings with pro-Palestinian protestors encamped on McGill’s lower campus, protestors President Saini referred to as “illegal occupiers.” Properly understood, VP Labeau’s request for arbitration is not a proper exercise of a statutory right, but rather an abuse of the same. The arbitration process VP Labeau is requesting is not intended to produce a collective agreement. Quite the contrary, the University’s plain intent is to guarantee the possibility of a decertification hearing that, if won by the University, would make a collective agreement all but impossible. Were this not the intent, the University would drop the decertification lawsuit.
