What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Yeah, please move it somewhere where the international court of justice is respected.

Though ironically if ICC warrants were respected a lot more world leaders wouldn't be able to go there. There'd need to be an exemption.

I think this absolutely needs to happen. The question is which country? What nation(s) are sufficiently stable to be trusted to respect nations’ sovereignty and international law?

You already know the answer

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Fixed, thanks.

Petro continued. "The United Nations headquarters cannot continue to be in New York."

Just move it to Ottowa.

Does Canada uphold binding international law? The answer is No.

As Prof. Matthews points out: "This dramatic development marks the first time leaders of a western allied state have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the ICC." Apparently, Canada believes that binding international law does not apply to western allied states.
