Nice game of scrabble @nytimes.com but the opponents matching system sucks…no way to accept or refuse it, hence no way to be matched with someone who actually wants (or is there to) play right and then. Massive loss of time. Lots of improvements to be done to make it really enjoyable, I’ m afraid

Ce n’est donc pas seulement une histoire de vignobles, mais une illustration très concrète de la manière dont une colonisation contemporaine s’articule à la mondialisation, au commerce international et à l’ambiguïté juridique européenne. (10/10)

Opinion: Why the Trump-Blair Gaza plan is unlawful

</a>

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>In a column for Middle East Eye, Ralph Wilde, a professor of international law, lays out the legality of the proposed international trusteeship of Gaza involving Donald Trump and Tony Blair. </p>
<p>He writes: "Befitting his role as an icon of western liberal interventionism, Blair’s association with the Gaza trusteeship builds on the tradition of western humanitarians who sought to “humanise” colonialism by grafting onto it a duty of care. </p>
<p>This concept of “<a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/international-territorial-administration-9780199274321?cc=mt&lang=en&" target="_blank">trusteeship over people</a>” was adopted by Europeans for colonial rule over Africa at the Berlin Conference in the late 19th century; by the League of Nations after the First World War for the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/mandate-League-of-Nations" target="_blank">Mandate territories</a>; and by the United Nations after the Second World War for the <a href="https://research.un.org/en/docs/tc/territories" target="_blank">Trust Territories</a> and all other <a href="https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/chapter-11" target="_blank">non-settler colonies</a>.</p>
<p>Trusteeship assumes a world divided between “child-like” people incapable of looking after themselves - a characterisation now applied to the Palestinian people of Gaza - and “adults”, such as Blair et al, who are able to rule over not only their own people, but also others.</p>
<p>Falling into the “child” category is the rationale for requiring trusteeship. In the League of Nations <a href="https://libraryresources.unog.ch/ld.php?content_id=32971179" target="_blank">Covenant</a>, the people of the mandates were “not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world”. </p>
<p>The child/adult relationship is the rationale for the duty of care - the adult is in charge, but must act in the interests of the “ward”. The adult’s responsibility is to “bring up” the child so it will eventually attain maturity. To conduct tutelage, enabling “development”.</p>
<p>The Gaza trusteeship will thus be temporary, because it is transitional: the adults will build up local capacities for self-administration; the children will consequentially mature and attain adulthood, and the need for trusteeship will then end."</p>

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Israel's interception of the Alma vessel in the global Sumud Flotilla is unlawful, <meta charset="UTF-8">Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, told MEE.</p>
<p>Albanese said the interception is unlawful under two basic premises. </p>
<p>Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is illegal under international law, Albanese said, adding, "it makes no sense whatsoever." </p>
<p>Additional, Albanese noted that even under ordinary circumstances, the interception of vessels in international water behaving in a clearly peaceful manner is illegal under international law. </p>
<p>The flotilla is roughly 80 nautical miles from the coast of Gaza. Territorial waters extend for maximum 12 nautical miles. </p>

Il problema delle batterie è sotto gli occhi di tutti. Ogni anno, solo in Italia, vengono buttate circa 260 milioni di pile; a livello mondiale il numero sale a oltre 15 miliardi. Questo significa quasi 300k tonnellate di rifiuti tossici che finiscono nell’ambiente
