State of Palestine takes a seat in the UN General Assembly

This significant moment follows a decision by the General Assembly in May, where a majority of members voted in favor of granting Palestine full membership rights. This resolution came after the United States used its veto power in the Security Council to block Palestine‘s bid for full UN membership. (…)

To be granted full UN membership, a state must receive a two-thirds majority vote from the General Assembly following a positive recommendation from the Security Council.

The U.S. vetoed this recommendation on April 18, preventing Palestine from achieving full membership.

Galloway Back in Parliament, Declaring Duopoly Defeated

“We crushed Labour by ten thousand votes,” he told supporters back at headquarters. “The second place candidate was not the Conservatives,” but an independent. “This is the first time in British political history that in a by-election both of the major parties were completely crushed,” he said.

“We changed politics in Britain for good,” James Giles, Galloway’s campaign manager, told supporters back at campaign headquarters. “Maybe we have changed politics in the world for good.

Beharrlicher, ehrlicher Journalismus führte zur Wiederholung der Berlin-Wahl

Der ehemalige Berliner Abgeordnete Marcel Luthe, der maßgeblich mit TE zusammenarbeitete, um das ganze Ausmaß des Wahldebakels aufzudecken, betonte gegenüber TE, dass die Entscheidung der Lohn für 14 Monate „intensiver Arbeit“ des gesamten Teams sei. Allein aus den unvollständigen, falschen, teils gar manipulierten Niederschriften der Wahllokale ergebe sich die Ungültigkeit der Wahlen. Das Gericht betonte dabei, dass in diese Niederschriften nur einer reingesehen habe, nämlich Luthe selbst.

Über eine mögliche Wiederholung der Bundestagswahl in Berlin entscheidet ein eigenes Gremium des Bundestags. Fraglich bleibt, wie der Bundestag eine gültige Bundestagswahl in einer Stadt rechtfertigen will, in der eine solche Vielzahl von Irregularitäten vorliegt, dass dort die gleichzeitig stattgefundene Bezirks- und Abgeordnetenhauswahl auf der Kippe steht. Wie das Gericht beschrieben hat: sollten die Fehler nicht zur Wiederholung führen, so würde das Vertrauen in die Demokratie dauerhaft und schwerwiegend beschädigt.

Vier Jahrzehnte „Verfassungsschutz“-Skandal rechtskräftig beendet

Mit diesem höchstrichterlichen Urteil ist Rolf Gössner, den der Bundesinlandsgeheimdienst „Verfassungsschutz“ zum „Staats- und Verfassungsfeind“ erklärt hatte, endlich rechtskräftig rehabilitiert. Damit haben die Bundesregierung mit ihrem zuständigen Bundesinnenminister Horst Seehofer (CSU) sowie alle weiteren 13 seit 1970 verantwortlichen Bundesinnenminister und 12 Präsidenten des Bundesamts für Verfassungsschutz eine schwere und blamable Niederlage erlitten in diesem skandalösen Überwachungsfall.

Tatsächlich ist ein so lang währender Grundrechtsbruch gegenüber einem Bürger dieses Landes bislang keinem anderen staatlichen Sicherheitsorgan höchstrichterlich bescheinigt worden. Aus diesem beispiellosen Fiasko einer geradezu kafkaesken Überwachungsgeschichte müssen dringend überfällige politische, behördliche und gesetzgeberische Konsequenzen gezogen werden.

VG Berlin: Sperrstunde von 23 bis 6 Uhr für Gastronomen rechtswidrig – Erfolg des HÄRTING-Corona-Teams

Die Sperrstunde sei unverhältnismäßig, nicht notwendig und rechtswidrig. Es sei nicht zu erkennen, dass Gaststätten unter den bislang geltenden Schutz- und Hygienemaßnahmen einen derart wesentlichen Anteil am Infektionsgeschehen haben, dass wegen der in Berlin verzeichneten Neuinfektionen eine Sperrstunde als zusätzliche Maßnahme erforderlich wäre. Das Infektionsumfeld „Gaststätte“ spiele gegenüber anderen Infektionsumfeldern eine ersichtlich untergeordnete Rolle. Erhöhte Fallzahlen allein rechtfertigen nicht das Ergreifen jeglicher Maßnahme. Es sei nicht nachvollziehbar, warum es infektionsschutzrechtlich gerechtfertigt sein solle, gastronomische Betriebe – die ansonsten geöffnet bleiben dürften – nach 23 Uhr zu schließen.
