Majority of Mexican cartels’ guns come from US, Sheinbaum says in response to Trump claims

US president claimed he wanted to eradicate cartels and made comments about Mexico’s president that were deemed sexist in summit speech

4️⃣ Duty to Cooperate Internationally
“In order to guarantee the rights to life and personal integrity... States have an obligation to cooperate, in good faith, in preventing illicit arms trafficking”

2️⃣ Duty to Monitor Arms Companies
To ensure corporate due diligence, States should monitor “the due diligence, prevention, mitigation, and remediation plans adopted by companies to prevent their activities from affecting human rights.”

1️⃣ Duty to regulate
States have a duty to domestically regulate arms manufacture, sales, and transport to prevent diversion of legal firearms to the criminal market.

➡️ “What are the obligations of States in the area of human rights with respect to illicit arms trafficking?” The Inter-American Court of Human Rights just issued a first-of-its-kind opinion in response to request from Mexico.

This should require the U.S. to stop the 5% of gun dealers who sell 90% of crime guns, including over 70% of crime guns in Mexico, Haiti, Canada, Jamaica, and in countries throughout the Americas, and to stop gun manufacturers from supplying those bad-acting dealers.

The Court’s opinion also suggests that the U.S. is obligated to do more to stop gun manufacturers and dealers from enabling the diversion of firearms to gun traffickers.

A clear implication of the Court’s opinion is that the U.S. PLCAA Law, which provides broad immunity from liability and litigation to U.S. firearms companies, may be in breach of international human rights law, by denying victims of gun industry negligence effective judicial remediation.

Rhode Island lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow gun manufactures to be held accountable for harmful and unlawful actions.

Gun industry CEOs are not above the law. We urge RI leaders to take this crucial step to protect public safety.

Mike Lawler has done nothing to make our communities safer from gun violence.

In fact, when it matters most to stand up, he instead supports a universal concealed carry mandate that would make our communities less safe.

U.S. Judge says Kari Lake broke law in overseeing Voice of America He declared all of Lake's actions over the past year to be null and void, including the layoffs of more than 1,000 journalists and staffers.

Trump admin effort to claim Kari Lake had power over Voice of America was illegal, judge rules "The Court declines Lake’s invitation to do such violence to the statutory and constitutional scheme," Judge Lamberth ruled on Saturday. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled on Saturday that the Trump administration effort to install Kari Lake as the “acting CEO“ of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the parent organization of the Voice of America, was unconstitutional and violated federal law.

At Law Dork, I dive in:

Red flag laws create that pathway. They allow courts to temporarily remove firearms when credible risks appear, helping communities interrupt a dangerous moment before it turns into irreversible harm.

Most acts of gun violence don’t happen without warning.

Friends, family members, classmates, coworkers. People often notice concerning behavior before a crisis escalates. The problem is that too often, there isn’t a clear legal path to act on those warning signs.
