A new day, and there’s new global chaos. How long shall the rest of us around the world endure the never-ending chaos and unnecessary suffering imposed on us by the choices of those elsewhere?

Unfathomable how some leaders and media voices still push climate change denialism, while their own countries face unprecedented storms, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and fires. The science is clear- increased GHGs cause these crises. As we see, denial won’t stop the damage, only action will.

They can find billions with ease to wage wars of aggression, supply military weapons and technology, and spread death and destruction, AND YET find the most excuses when called upon to fund the war against the greatest peril ever to face humanity- climate change.

The “unprecedented global challenges posed to all of us by climate change” will have to be resolved through domestic democratic processes rather than by international litigation or treaty making, the UK’s judge at the human rights court predicted last week: rozenberg.substack.com/p/climate-ch...

There’s a significant shift in geopolitics and diplomacy, reminiscent of the 1930s. SIDS, in particular, face the imperative to recalibrate while adhering to the fundamental principles of democracy, justice, the rule of law, sovereignty, territorial integrity, equality, fairness, and accountability.

"The task facing the ICJ, then, is not merely to establish which legal obligations apply to a discrete set of facts, but rather to harmonise a single global time of climate change, privileging certain pasts, presents, and futures while discarding others as legally irrelevant" indeed!

OPINION: As defenders of a rule-based world, we have a responsibility to protect the ICC because it is a crucial common good for humankind. That’s why the EU’s member countries and institutions should counter the US sanctions against the court.

ow.ly

Victims of international crimes need justice — and the ICC

We call on the EU’s member countries and institutions to be the voice of human dignity globally, and to mobilize, defend and support the court.
