Day 2

-English presentation: done. My group was terrible but I survived so it could have been worse.

After my TD I went to my yoga class and spent the rest of the day at the library.

-English notes are all done (featuring my ugly handwriting, sorry about that)

I still have a thousand flash cards to prepare (and to LEARN!!!) for European law

The European Convention on Human Rights

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) protects the human rights of people in countries that belong to the Council of Europe. All 47 Member States of the Council, including the UK, have signed the Convention. Its full title is the 'Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms'

The Convention guarantees specific rights and freedoms and prohibits unfair and harmful practices.

The Convention secures:

the right to life (Article 2)

freedom from torture (Article 3)

freedom from slavery (Article 4)

the right to liberty (Article 5)

the right to a fair trial (Article 6)

the right not to be punished for something that wasn’t against the law at the time (Article 7)

the right to respect for family and private life (Article 8)

freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Article 9)

freedom of expression (Article 10)

freedom of assembly (Article 11)

the right to marry and start a family (Article 12)

the right not to be discriminated against in respect of these rights (Article 14)

the right to protection of property (Protocol 1, Article 1)

the right to education (Protocol 1, Article 2)

the right to participate in free elections (Protocol 1, Article 3)

the abolition of the death penalty (Protocol 13)

Originally proposed by Winston Churchill and drafted mainly by British lawyers, the Convention was based on the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was signed in Rome in 1950 and came into force in 1953.

An illegal toxic dump site in Croatia, the theft of water from a major aquifer in southern Spain, illegal trading of ozone-depleting refrigerants in France: This is just a sampling of the environmental crimes that European countries are struggling to stop. The lack of accountability for these acts stems in part from the European Union’s legal code, which experts say is riddled with vague definitions and gaps in enforcement. That’s about to change.

Last week, EU lawmakers voted in a new directive that criminalizes cases of environmental damage “comparable to ecocide,” a term broadly defined as the severe, widespread, and long-term destruction of the natural world. Advocates called the move “revolutionary,” both because it sets strict penalties for violators, including up to a decade in jail, and because it marks the first time that an international body has created a legal pathway for the prosecution of ecocide.

“This decision marks the end of impunity for environmental criminals and could usher in a new age of environmental litigation in Europe,” wrote Marie Toussaint, a French lawyer and EU parliamentarian for the Greens/European Free Alliance group, on X...

The new directive uses the term “ecocide” in its preamble, but does not criminalize the act by laying out a legal definition (the most widely accepted definition of ecocide was developed by an international panel of experts in 2021). Instead, it works by providing a list of “qualified offenses,” or crimes that fall within its purview. These include pollution from ships, the introduction of invasive species, and ozone depletion...

The new law holds people liable for environmental destruction if they acted with knowledge of the damage their actions would cause. This aspect of the law is important, experts said, because it means that a permit is no longer enough for a company to avoid culpability.

“If new information shows that behavior is causing irreversible damage to health and nature – you will have to stop,” a member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands, Antonius Manders, told Euronews.

Advocates like Mehta hope that the EU’s move will have influence beyond Europe’s borders. The principal goal of the Stop Ecocide campaign is for the International Criminal Court to designate ecocide as the fifth international crime that it prosecutes, after crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes of aggression, and genocide. At the moment, environmental destruction can only be prosecuted as a war crime at the ICC, and limitations in the law make this extremely difficult to do...

Kate Mackintosh, the executive director of the Netherlands-based UCLA Law Promise Institute Europe, told Grist that the ICC is unlikely to adopt an ecocide law if other countries do not do so first.

“It’s not something you can just pull out of thin air,” she said, adding that any international legal doctrine has to have a precedent on the national level. “That’s the way states are going to accept it.”

The EU’s 27 member states will have two years to adapt the new legislation into their penal codes. Afterwards, their implementation must be reviewed and updated at least once every five years using a “risk-analysis based approach,” to account for advancements in experts’ understanding of what might constitute an environmental crime. Mehta said that despite its omission of some important offenses, the law sets an important example for other countries. Several days before the EU vote, Belgium adapted its criminal code to include the directive, making it the first country in Europe to recognize ecocide as a crime.

The ruling “shows leadership and compassion,” Mehta said. “It will establish a clear moral as well as legal ‘red line’, creating an essential steer for European industry leaders and policy-makers going forward.”

When I made that post about the right to roam in Northern Europe/Scandinavia a lot of Americans told me stories about stepping off the road to look at something or walking into some woods and suddenly some guy would pop out and yell at them for being on their land and now I’m very confused about where exactly people are allowed to walk in the US.

Obviously there’s going to be differences from state to state but now I’m looking at American movies and shows in an entirely different way. Are most of those people walking through nature trespassing and it’s just not brought up because Americans know what’s going on and therefore the creators don’t feel like explaining it?

Because I know you’re allowed to be in national parks but also that national parks can close, meaning it’s possible to trespass in places you wouldn’t expect.

For example, if you stop at a small parking lot at a rest stop, is there a big chance you’re trespassing if you step off the parking lot? Are most American protagonists low key breaking the law every time they travel? Please, I need answers!

#ignorant European #I’ve never cared more about trespassing laws

The fact that most European companies treat their non-European employees like shit- despite the fact that Western Europeans enjoy the highest level of workers' rights in the world- just because they can get away with it in the United States or whatever is proof why regulations are needed.

European workers are only treated better than their American counterparts because there are laws protecting them, not because European corporations are so much more humanitarian than American companies. Never forget that under capitalism companies will exploit you for all you're worth and all they can legally get away with.

#post inspired by my partner working as a contractor at IKEA and being treated like absolute shit with no benefits or a permeant position #while her European counterparts got amazing benefits and were always talking about their many vacations #also my mom worked at a German-owned company where the employees were treated just as bad as your average American worker #COMPANIES WANT TO EXPLOIT YOU!!! WE NEED LAWS TO PROTECT US!!!#fuck capitalism #capitalism #leftism #workers rights #labor rights

🇧🇪🇮🇱🇵🇸 🚨

BELGIAN PARLIAMENT REFUSES TO SCREEN ISRAELI OCCUPATION PROPAGANDA DOCUMENTARY ON THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH

The Belgian Parliament on Wednesday Nov. 15th refused to screen a propaganda "documentary" provided by the Israeli entity to the Belgian authorities.

According to the Israeli Occupation authorities, the film was edited using cuts of call recordings, al-Qassam Brigades body cameras, Hamas and Israeli settlers' social media accounts, and cell phone videos taken by the Palestinian Resistance during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, an unprecedented assault by Resistance groups against the Israeli entity and settlements surrounding Gaza, launched on October 7th.

According to the Israeli authorities, the film has not been made public at this time due the sensitivity of the video and the wishes of the families of those wounded and killed in the assault.

However, it is being used by the Israeli authorities to illicit sympathy and disgust with Palestinian Resistance groups and to encourage foreign authorities to support the Israeli entity in its genocidal war on the people of Gaza.

According to reports from Belgium, the President of the Belgian Parliament shut down the request by the Israeli authorities to screen the documentary, and instead called-out the Israeli entity's war on Gaza, referring to Israel's actions as "war crimes."

When the Israeli Ambassador, Edith Rozentzweig-Abu, made another effort to get the Belgian authorities to screen a shortened version of the film in the Belgian Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations, the Belgian authorities refused, calling the documentary "propaganda intended to cover up war crimes."

Some Belgian politicians were deeply bothered by the Ambassador's attempts to screen the film.

Wouter De Vriendt, of the Belgian Green Party slammed the Israeli Ambassador, telling the Israeli authorities, "Today there are more than 4,000 children dying in bombings, how many more will die before you react? Some political leaders in Israel [even] talk about ethnic cleansing and genocide."

"The assassination of a Hamas leader along with the killing of 100 civilians is a scandal for a country like Israel. It's a war crime. You are bombing schools, mosques, and people working for the UN...I supported Israel immediately after the attack on October 7, but it's no longer possible. Stop this cruelty."

According to Gaza's Ministry of Health, over 11'200 Palestinians, including 4'600 children have been killed in Israeli shelling and air strikes since October 7th.
