Prisoners of war and detainees.

The law states they must be protected. This includes from acts of violence, intimidation, and ill-treatment. 

They also must be treated with dignity, and not exposed to public curiosity – like circulating images on social media.

Highly recommend this Nova episode about researching treatments for cystic fibrosis. A beautiful and emotional section begins with a researcher recalling one of those stunning breakthrough moments: “Fred came up to my office and said, “I think you should see something.”

Once a death sentence, cystic fibrosis now has a life-saving treatment. Follow the decades-long scientific quest, fueled by desperate parents, that led to this revolutionary breakthrough.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

Europe has had heat action plans for decades. Yet extreme heat still kills tens of thousands of people every summer. The problem is often hidden: heat worsens existing illnesses, hits people in poorly insulated homes hardest, and rarely appears on a death certificate.

The obsolete INF-Treaty defined them (550km range) as shorter-range missiles... 2009-2017.state.gov/t/avc/trty/1...
For the purposes of this Treaty:
1. The term "ballistic missile" means a missile that has a ballistic trajectory over most of its flight path. The term "ground-launched ballistic missile (GLBM)" means a ground-launched ballistic missile that is a weapon-delivery vehicle.
2. The term "cruise missile" means an unmanned, self-propelled vehicle that sustains flight through the use of aerodynamic lift over most of its flight path. The term "ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM)" means a ground-launched cruise missile that is a weapon-delivery vehicle.
3. The term "GLBM launcher" means a fixed launcher or a mobile land-based transporter-erector-launcher mechanism for launching a GLBM.
4. The term "GLCM launcher" means a fixed launcher or a mobile land-based transporter-erector-launcher mechanism for launching a GLCM.
5. The term "intermediate-range missile" means a GLBM or a GLCM having a range capability in excess of 1000 kilometers but not in excess of 5500 kilometers.
6. The term "shorter-range missile" means a GLBM or a GLCM having a range capability equal to or in excess of 500 kilometers but not in excess of 1000 kilometers.
