Hundreds of environmental and human rights groups and activists have penned a letter urging the upcoming UN climate conference, COP30, in Brazil to place justice and reparations for people unfairly affected by the climate crisis, colonialism and slavery at the centre of talks. The signatories, which include Brazil’s Instituto Luiz Gama and the Caribbean Pan African Network (CPAN), urged organisers on Friday to “centre the voices of Africans, people of African descent and Indigenous Peoples” at the upcoming meeting in Maloca, in the Brazilian Amazon, from November 10 to 21 this year.

Highlights from yesterday in Parliament Square London for the Defend our Juries sit down in support of proscribed pro Palestine group which seeks to oppose the Genocide in Gaza. A beautiful day with wonderful people, except the police who acted like thugs.

It was great to be part of this action with Health XR in Plymouth. As health care professionals, we understand that the result of runaway climate breakdown is not only poor health outcomes and food insecurities for our patients, affecting children most.

Politics is not speaking for the people. Funding of war machines and privatising basic needs, ignoring climate breakdown and defunding NHS, we need a voice to match our needs. The house of the people is that voice please help fund the first assembly or share widely 💚

Protecting and listening to community voices 🗣️

The global climate crisis represents the single greatest threat to humanity. From droughts & wildfires to floods & supercharged storms, these devastating unnatural disasters have become far too often a regular feature of people’s lives the world over.

Second reading of the Terrorism Bill, 14 December 1999. Home Secretary Jack Straw responds to a query about proscription by referring to it as an "extreme power" "used only in very specific circumstances," like the armed conflict in the north of Ireland.

Second reading of the Terrorism Bill, 14 December 1999. Home Secretary Jack Straw replies to concerned MPs by insisting the act will apply not to protests but to crimes which seek "to destroy not only lives, but the foundation of our society."

(As an aside this was during the time period where the ALF and other animal rights activists carried out bombings, which should be borne in mind here and in other references to animal rights activism. Those who recall how this intersected with spycops scandal will have "food for thought")

Second reading of the Terrorism Bill, 14 December 1999. Asked whether the inclusion of "property damage" in the bill applies protestors who destroy property. Home Secretary indicates this would only apply where serious violence to *individuals* is involved.

Not to be considered a final statement, but useful context for what MPs are being told the Bill will apply to, is the government's consultative document. This is what it says about expanding terrorist offences to include property damage:

Disgusting 🫣 they are beyond vile the isnotrelis will stoop lower than anyone's expectations of what low looks like

Prince William calls for protection of world's oceans in Monaco The Prince of Wales gave a speech in Monaco hoping to drive investments to protect the world's oceans.

How we can imagine a future when this is the trajectory we are on. Can we dream something better? Do we have that power ?

It's not a comforting read. But to just show that they know what's down the line and that in line with their zero empathy,their solutions are very much aligned with the destruction of humanity in search of massive profits.

I'm just surprised you're all surprised by this.

Is that winning or whining 🤔

These legal proceedings underscore the severity of the accusations and the international community's concern over the situation.

Can you see now how my point pertains ?

7. International Legal Actions
In addition to the ICC's arrest warrants, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has been petitioned to investigate allegations of genocide and other war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza.

These actions violate international legal standards and have been condemned by various human rights organizations.

6. Extrajudicial Killings and Arbitrary Detentions
There have been numerous reports of extrajudicial killings and arbitrary detentions by Israeli forces.

This includes the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure and the restriction of humanitarian aid, actions that are prohibited under international humanitarian law.
