[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

In the last 72 hours the US has:

-> Announced a barbaric livestreamed execution.

-> Sanctioned the International Criminal Court.

-> Made a deal to help finance Russia's war machine.

-> Pressured multiple countries to withdraw their sponsorship of a leading European conference on disinformation.

And we all just carry on as normal this weekend? Like the arrival of a new fascist dictatorship isn't upon us?

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Why are there no world leaders prepared to even talk about this, let alone take a stand?

I feel like I'm screaming into the void but surely someone, somewhere outside the US is thinking similarly.

Surely?

The UK stands with the International Criminal Court and we stand united with our partners in strongly disagreeing with sanctions imposed on the Court.

The ICC must be permitted to continue its critical work holding perpetrators of the most horrific international crimes to account.

Es el Día Mundial contra la Pena de Muerte.

La pena capital no disuade el crimen ni hace justicia a las víctimas. No tiene lugar en el siglo XXI.

La gran mayoría de los países ya la han abolido o han impuesto una moratoria.

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

La pena de muerte es inadmisible porque atenta contra la inviolabilidad y la dignidad de la persona. El bien común puede protegerse y los requisitos de la justicia pueden salvaguardarse sin recurrir a la pena capital: ya se han desarrollado sistemas penitenciarios eficaces que protegen a los ciudadanos y, al mismo tiempo, no privan por completo a los culpables de la posibilidad de redimirse. #NoDeathPenalty

La cantidad de simbolismos en la decisión del Comité del Nobel de la Paz este año:
- Una mujer de origen Indio-Tamil nacida en Sudáfrica que vivió en carne propia el apartheid.
- Hija de un chofer de autobús, creció en la pobreza y se indignó ante el trato a la población negra.
- Estudió leyes para poder defender a los oprimidos y perseguidos por el régimen, entre ellos Nelson Mandela.
- Juez de la Corte Penal Internacional, participó en los procesos por el genocidio en Ruanda.
- Definió a la violencia sexual como un crimen de guerra.
- Presidió la comisión de la ONU sobre Gaza que determinó que Israel llevaba a cabo un genocidio.
- Se encontraba en una conferencia sobre DDHH en Nuremberg cuando recibió el llamado desde Noruega.

The imposition of institutional sanctions against the International Criminal Court by the Government of the United States of America are “unacceptable,” UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls for immediate measures of protection.

“They must not be allowed to have a chilling effect on those working for or with the Court in pursuit of justice. I particularly urge the 125 States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court – a full two-thirds of the international community - to take urgent steps to defend its crucial work and assure its ability to function. They have a particular obligation to protect the institution they have created.”

[Senator John Curtis @SenJohnCurtis]

Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment.

Secretary Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood execution risks feeding that appetite. The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity. Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent. I urge him to reconsider.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Not only has the US never televised public executions in its history, but not even the Nazi defendants sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials had their executions televised (it was deemed violative of the human rights that post-WW2 institutions were trying to re-establish).

The most amazing part of this is that Nidal Hasan is paraplegic and close to 60. So this disgusting spectacle will involve rolling him out in a wheelchair, then live-streaming his body as it's pumped full of bullets.

When I and others pointed out last night that public executions are carried out only by the countries we're told are the most primitive and savage (Afghanistan, North Korea), MAGA enthusisasts replied that we were too weak. Pummeling an old guy in a wheelchair with bullets -- as a reality TV show -- seems like an odd and dubious defintion of "strength," let alone an expression of the western values they endlessly claim they and they alone are trying to salvage.

@amnestyusa USA is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

President Trump’s sanctions are designed to isolate and ultimately destroy the International Criminal Court. This existential attack must fail.

States must take concrete action to resist the imposition of these measures and actively protect the Court. https://t.co/92zimpqsVn

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

This is an attack on the very possibility of holding those responsible for the gravest crimes accountable under international law, no matter how powerful they may be.

What is at stake is not only the future of the Court, but the future of international justice itself.

[Cristian Alberto Martínez Carrasco @Cristmarc]

Hay algo que no cuadra en el debate sobre el llamado “Código 29”. Lo planteamos como si hubiera que elegir entre los derechos del delincuente y la seguridad de la gente. El problema es exactamente al revés. Un gatillo fácil es el síntoma de un sistema fracasado. Va hilo. 🧵
