HAPPY FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT DAY!

Is my excitement to do this myself the OECS supremacy that everyone was talking about?

[Zaiquiri 🥃 @Z_black_one]

Honestly I am very proud to see Barbados, Belize, Dominica and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines take this step.

This is what the treaty was for. The whole region has their eyes on you and I hope this process is handled with care so that the rest of the region follows suit 🤝🏿

[Zachary Phillips @ZPhillips268]

Such a powerful statement. I can say candidly I did not expect the ICJ to go this far in its opinion

[🌍⚖️ Seb Duyck | @duycks.bsky.social @duycks]

@pisfcc @VanuatuUN @WY4CJ @IPCC_CH @ITLOS_TIDM 52/🚨The Court then delivers a powerful statement: failure of a state to take appropriate action to regulate fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel licences, fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state

[🌍⚖️ Seb Duyck | @duycks.bsky.social @duycks]

@pisfcc @VanuatuUN @WY4CJ @IPCC_CH @ITLOS_TIDM 64/ ... the Responsible state is under a continuing duty to perform the obligation breached.
The legal consequences resulting internationally wrongful acts may include obligations of:
🔹cessation of the wrongful actions,
🔸assurances of no repetition, and
🔹full reparation.
