Schon intrisant, bei "Sorgen und Ängste ernstnehmen" sind NIE durch Care-Arbeit doppelt und dreifach belastete Frauen gemeint und komischerweise sind es auch nie sie, die auszucken, sondern einfach nur still eingehen.

Wieso sind die Vorwürfe so brisant? Weil es sich um Vorwürfe sexuellen Fehlverhaltens handelt, hätte man hier gerne gelesen. Vorwürfe eines Fehlverhaltens am Arbeitsplatz, in einem starken hierarchischen Gefälle. Vorwürfe gegen einen Amtsträger, dessen Jobvoraussetzung hohes sittliches Ansehen ist.

Today, Austria joined the Enlarged Partial Agreement (EPA) of the Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. #Accountability is a key trajectory of Austria’s foreign policy. There can be no lasting peace in Ukraine without accountability.

The undersigned … wish to express outrage and clear condemnation of Israel’s new death penalty law. It is not only immoral and in violation of the most basic dictates of public conscience, but is also unlawful both in terms of domestic constitutional law and Israel’s obligations under int’l law.

Time for the ASP to push back. Really enough of targeting judges for doing the job States have asked them to do. www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...

ICC strongly rejects new U.S. sanctions designations against two ICC Judges

The International Criminal Court deplores the announcement of new designations for sanctions by the US administration against Judge Gocha Lordkipanidze (Georgia) and Judge Erdenebalsuren Damdin (Mongolia). These additional designations follow the earlier designation of nine elected officials of the Judiciary and the Office of the Prosecutor, drawn from all regional groups.These sanctions are a flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution which operates pursuant to the mandate conferred by its States Parties from across regions. Such measures targeting judges and prosecutors who were elected by the States Parties undermine the rule of law. When judicial actors are threatened for applying the law, it is the international legal order itself that is placed at risk.As previously stated, the Court stands firmly behind its personnel and behind victims of unimaginable atrocities. It will continue to carry out its mandate with independence and impartiality, in full accordance with the Rome Statute and in the interest of victims of international crimes.The ICC values the consistent demonstrations of solidarity of States Parties, civil society and all those who support the rule of law and justice for the victims of international crimes. The Court will continue its work, with all partners, to ensure the effective and independent implementation of its mandate.For more information, please contact the ICC Public Affairs Unit: PublicAffairs.Unit@icc-cpi.int.
