Today, Serbia seems the MOST democratic country in Europe: the student list movement has changed the entire political landscape of the country, the Balkans, and the potential of democracy across Europe and much of the world. By engaging in direct democracy, spread across every community in the entire country, listening, hearing, engaging with people, young and old, horizontally with local civic assemblies, across all municipalities and neighbourhoods, demanding thorough political accountability. Could this be a "New Democracy Wave"? @d_pavlovic @IVejvoda @BIRNSrbija But what about the rest of the world, increasingly autocratic? Here are some thoughts: https://t.co/qqcEfBbAcK

The UK🇬🇧 and France🇫🇷 can and MUST veto any such ignominious proposal, which would only expose the moral bankruptcy of autocratic alleged P3 sponsors. See instead "An Open Letter to The Permanent 5 of the UN Security Council regarding the selection of the new Secretary-General" by Sukehiro Hasegawa and Victor Angelo: https://t.co/32LGOZU5yh @vangelofreebird @danobrien20

@andrii_sybiha He must be vetoed by Britain and France. The world needs better https://t.co/pNW8w1YnZc?

@alextarquinio DOA.

[F. M. O'Donnell @fmod1]

@danobrien20 Britain and France could, indeed must, veto any such cynical move.

And Palestine, sharply deteriorating, and dwindling, under the expansionist ethnic cleansing and worse, at the expense of Israel and its violations of UN Security Council resolutions, ICJ advisories, international humanitarian law and in defiance of its own democratic secular and religious opposition, as per the Berkovits letter of protest against the Netanyahu régime (17 June 2026). Even Israel's high level of HDI has begun to decline, presumably after the Netanyahu -induced devastation following the outrageous Hamas terrorist attacks of 7 October. The new government that an electoral defeat can inflict on the Netanyahu régime and its extremists, must work to repair the region, heal humanity on all sides, and heal the world in the process. @RGrynspan @Lana_Nusseibeh @rafaelmgrossi @UN_PGA @DDiallo_ardn @AminaJMohammed @IrishMissionUN @HMcEntee @HelenClarkNZ @Haaretz @jaredkushner @SEPeaceMissions @UNDPPA @UNSCO_MEPP @DeCrooAlexander @UNDP

See the impact on human development index (HDI) on your country of interest, the historic trend, the generally downward dip after the Covid19 pandemic, and the slowing down globally, and in some cases, declining indices. See the global median, and compare to your country. Here's a few examples; Ireland, stable; China, progressing; USA stagnant. (Source: UNDP) https://t.co/BZq7OOtFcz

@SrdjaPopovic @MariaCorinaYA I hope so..... hopefully those who helped on 5 October 2000 have learnt the lessons of their failure. Should lustration be undertaken? Many questions lie ahead, but now let's hope other autocrats fall around the world.

[F. M. O'Donnell @fmod1]

Yes, but why have you not supported the Berkovits letter of 17 June to PM Netanyahu? So, in Serbia, another dictator down! #Serbia’s corrupt autocrat Vuciċ concedes defeat. At long last, a prospect of return to liberty, human rights, real reform, and accelerated integration to EU! A better Balkans! An old cartoon by the late Serbian cartoonist Corax, animated, moves into my "state of the world" plea for major UN reform, and the 12 point plan brought together by the UN Advocacy Community over the past four months, over 300 contributions mustered from over 60 participants around the world, in anticipation of a new UN Secretary-General. Now let’s take down the rest of the autocrats, including yours, and rebuild the UN. You can only save Israel by concluding a peace agreement with the Palestinians. Sacrifices of ambition must be made by both sides , but stop sacrificing the innocent and preserve mutual dignity as the late and wise Abba Eban or Martin Buber would. Listen up! @haaretzcom @Jerusalem_Post @jvplive @MaarivOnline @nytimes @washingtonpost @Tzipi_Livni
