Une fois encore, le « cartel du pouvoir » s’organise à une année des élections fédérales 🇨🇭 Guy Parmelin confirme qu’il quitte le Conseil fédéral, mais ne le fait pas pour des raisons de santé. Sa décision est donc politique et vise à protéger la majorité UDC-PLR au Conseil fédéral.

To capture rights, China and Russia are hollowing the UN's human rights system ⬛️ Countries with experience in silencing independent institutions at home are now following the same playbook at the United Nations, targeting the UN's human rights office.

Mediapart: Rassemblement National president Jordan Bardella had an antisemitic youth ⚡️ Writings from his time as a young member of Le Pen's party show an antisemitic pattern, according to the investigation. What we learn from it: the European far-right will always be the European far-right.

Nothing to add.

The Guardian news article screenshot with headline “Major oil firms make $93bn profits amid war and climate crisis” marked as “Revealed” and timestamped 2 hours ago. The accompanying illustration shows a firefighter in protective gear and helmet standing in the foreground, with dramatic imagery behind them depicting explosions, flames, smoke, charred trees, and a large upward-trending red profit arrow overlaid across the destruction. The composition contrasts the human cost of environmental crises with corporate financial gains.

The New Statesman magazine cover, dated 31 July–6 August 2026, features an illustration by Małgorzata Będowska. Against a dark background, two yellow hands hold a radioactive hazard symbol rendered in black. Above the symbol, white text reads "Europe ablaze: as wildfires burn, is it finally time to panic?"

Formal group photograph from the Annual Meeting of the Strategic Vision Group "Russia–Islamic World" at Kazan Forum 2026, showing approximately 75 officials and dignitaries from multiple countries standing on a stage. Participants wear business suits, traditional Islamic dress in beige and brown tones, and official attire. The backdrop displays Kazan Forum 2026 branding and text in Russian and Arabic. Professional stage lighting and formal setting indicate a high-level diplomatic meeting. The group is significantly male-dominated, with approximately 6–8 women among the roughly 75 participants visible.

This is the substance: the Campaign to End Repression in Azerbaijan detailed analysis of the EU-Azerbaijan relationship shows how energy commitments have been decoupled from human rights obligations. 🔗 Read it www.endrepression-az.org/report-eu-az...

Illustration of Lady Justice blindfolded, holding three scales. The left scale is imbalanced, weighted heavily toward "Energy" and "Trade." The right scale tips toward "Human Rights" and "Rule of Law," but is visibly outweighed. The EU flag with yellow stars appears at top left, with an arrow pointing toward the figure. Title reads: "The European Union is Trading Away Principles." The image uses teal and yellow tones to symbolise the EU's prioritisation of economic interests over human rights commitments.
