⚖️ 🇨🇭 🇪🇺 European court rules human rights violated by climate inaction

A group of older Swiss women have won the first ever climate case victory in the European Court of Human Rights.

The women, mostly in their 70s, said that their age and gender made them particularly vulnerable to the effects of heatwaves linked to climate change.

The court said Switzerland's efforts to meet its emission reduction targets had been woefully inadequate.
It is the first time the powerful court has ruled on global warming.

Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg joined activists celebrating at the court in Strasbourg on Tuesday.

"We still can't really believe it. We keep asking our lawyers, 'is that right?' Rosemarie Wydler-Walti, one of the leaders of the Swiss women, told Reuters news agency. "And they tell us it's the most you could have had. The biggest victory possible,"

The ruling is binding and can trickle down to influence the law in 46 countries in Europe including the UK.

The Court ruled that Switzerland had "failed to comply with its duties under the Convention concerning climate change" and that it had violated the right to respect for private and family life.

It also found that "there had been critical gaps" in the country's policies to tackle climate change including failing to quantify reductions in greenhouse gases - those gases that warm Earth's atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas.

Decisions made in the European Court of Human Rights influence law across its 46 member states.

Estelle Dehon KC, a barrister at Cornerstone Chambers in the UK, said "the judgement deals with difficult issues that also vex the UK courts in a way that may be persuasive."

"It comprehensively dismisses the argument that courts cannot rule on climate legal obligations because climate change is a global phenomenon or because action by one state is just a 'drop in the ocean'," she told BBC News.

Governments globally have signed up to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

But scientists and activists say that progress is too slow and the world is not on track to meet the crucial target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C.

🇹🇷 ❌️ 🇮🇱 Turkey restricts exports to Israel, saying its request to airdrop aid to Gaza was denied

🔶️ Along with the United Arab Emirates, Turkey is the biggest donor of aid to Gaza, according to Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.

Finally, in a near-future world without Israel/diaspora power structures running our way of life, there are components which could genuinely be for American interests.

75% of cargo transiting the Panama Canal is American. Meanwhile, China owns both ends of the Panama Canal. Due to both the drought and unwillingness by local authorities, American ships find themselves waiting at the back of the line to cross, despite the canal being as American as the Hoover Dam. This inheritance from Teddy Roosevelt was discarded for nothing in return despite being a top strategic asset in WWII. Americans died building something that was an extreme positive for US prosperity and freedom of movement.

🇻🇪🇬🇾Venezuela Presents Essequibo Documents to UN Court

Venezuelan officials have submitted documentation to the UN court regarding Caracas' claim to the disputed Essequibo region, contested by Guyana.

The UN International Court of Justice, headquartered in the Netherlands, has received a collection of documents from Venezuela asserting its "inalienable right" to the Essequibo region, which is under dispute with Guyana.

A delegation of Venezuelan officials delivered the package of documentation to the UN court, signaling their intent to vigorously challenge Guyana's claim to Essequibo.

The ongoing territorial dispute over Essequibo between Venezuela and Guyana has spanned over a century. Tensions escalated recently following the discovery of oil reserves in Essequibo, prompting Guyana to permit international corporations to exploit them.
