...Union said it has postponed negotiations with Switzerland on its participation in multibillion-dollar research and educational schemes in the latest fallout from a shock Swiss vote in favor of immigration curbs. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she will talk to French President Francois Hollande about creating a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the US. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said states breaking away from existing EU countries would struggle to gain EU membership, further complicating Scottish nationalists’ already uncertain plans for independence....

...neither the Irish or Israeli governments would want. So the symbolism. And the people selected to be on board such a ship (or permitted to be on board such a ship) would have to be totally non-violent or else they would dishonor the memory of Rachel Corrie. Very heavy stuff. Best, Ben Juan José One of the Spanish "activists" (well, I think this is only an euphemism, but at the moment I won´t discuss this point) has just told they are going to file a criminal complaint against Israel (?)...

...lawyers or back in 2004 and 2006 in Germany for Rumsfeld a d others, relentless efforts to suppress those investigations and prosecutions. Only the Italian in absentia case got to conviction. The books by all the protagonists like Jose Rodriquez, Goldsmith (rebuked by the UK courts for his flawed Geneva Convention "transfer" analysis, Thiessen at the Washington Post, appt of Bellinger a counselor at the American Society of International Law, all the apologists like Peyer King, Dale Rohrabacher, Kit Bond. The putting in place of military commissions and protective orders...

...and Scott has been helping from INECE. In Spain, Adriana Fabra has been alerting people particularly in the oceans community. In Germany at IUCN, Tomme Young. In Brazil, Guilherme José Purvin de Figueiredo. Many others have alerted networks, and I apologize for not listing them here at this point. Obviously, we cannot be certain of the motive behind Jojo's assassination until all evidence is collected, but the threats to him and Tony Oposa have certainly been all too real. Tony has made the protection of the Visayan (Sula Sulawesi) Marine...

Jose Toro Hello, It is a pity Mexico's return to Estrada Doctrine. New Mexican government needs to contextualize new trends in international governance and -as you mention- in Latin America's international relations. Estrada doctrine was a good rhetoric LatAm. foreign policy instrument to counterbalance the process of United States consolidation as a regional power (all along 19th Century and early 20th Century), and as a global power (all along 2WW and Cold War). In a way it was a good tool of naming and shaming in the lieu of U.S....

...not after all the abuse they've been subjected to. Under Geneva, these prisoners are properly civilians IMO, and the Bush administrations "unlawful combatant" paradigm is pure fraud. I'm well aware that Al-Marri is being held in Charleston. Jose Padilla was also held there, as was Captain James Yee. The treatement of all three represents calculated torture, as does the treatment of every prisoner at Guantanmo Bay and the various other camps in the Bush Gulag. The GWOT per se is a sham. It is a matter of law enforcement, not...

...set out to do. Also, there is nothing more ironic about this case then the name of one of the far-right groups that brought the case against Garzon: "Clean Hands"! Juan José Dear Kevin, I was right two years ago when I said Garzón would not be convicted of "prevaricación" in this case. https://opiniojuris.org/2010/04/09/more-on-the-upcoming-garzon-trial-are-amnesties-illegal/ On other hand, the clause you refer to ("reguations contained in this act are compatible with taking the legal action and having access to the ordinary and extraordinary court proceedings established in the laws or the...

...uniform or carry the required military ID card. Some argue this means they are not entitled to protection under Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention, but I read that article as providing protection to what the enemy regards as its regular armed forces, not what we regard as regular. This is important in some pending cases. Binyam Mohammed was to be the partner of Jose Padilla in "the apartments operation" (which was to be the next attack by KSM after 9/11). One of his MCA charges is that he...

Brian Julian, I encourage you to read Jose Daniel Amado's letter to the Secretary General for a more thorough discussion of the legal arguments against the ruling. http://dvsis69lhye2t.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Amado-letter.pdf Below is a quote from a number of international law professors summing up the potential implications of the ruling. http://chevrontoxico.com/assets/docs/2012-02-08-letter-to-sorieul.pdf "We are writing to you to express our concern about the potential risks arising from such Interim Award, which distorts the international investment treaty system to the point where it loses its credibility and effectiveness in promoting investment and resolving claims between...

...the trial is a requirement even if the defendant wishes to plead guilty, a US citizen is only entitled to a hearing if he wishes to challenge the claim that he is an enemy combatant. If he does not make such a challenge, then he receives no hearing, as Jose Padilla never asked for nor received such a hearing. At Vicksburg from May 25 to July 3 1863 the Union Army fired tens of thousands of shells into a city filled with civilians going about their day to day business....

...at the Pomona Day Labor Center in 2001 and developed his penchant for activism. Inspired by Jose Calderon, a professor of sociology and Chicano studies at the college, Diaz studied Cesar Chavez and Bert Corona and helped battle employers who stiffed their day laborers. Diaz worked with Calderon on a three-day march from Claremont to Los Angeles to protest Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's repeal of a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses. He fasted with other students to organize cafeteria workers, Calderon said, and performed political...
