MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS DES HEILIGEN VATERS LEO XIV. ÜBER DIE BEWAHRUNG DES MENSCHEN IM ZEITALTER DER KÜNSTLICHEN INTELLIGENZ

79. Der Begriff der „sozialen Gerechtigkeit“ hilft zu erkennen, dass Ungerechtigkeit nicht nur aus falschen Entscheidungen einzelner Menschen entsteht, sondern auch aus Strukturen, Mechanismen sowie wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Gegebenheiten, die fast automatisch Ungleichheit hervorbringen. In diesem Sinne hat der heilige Johannes Paul II. von Strukturen der Sünde gesprochen, [108] die dem Willen Gottes entgegenstehen und einen persönlichen und gesellschaftlichen Umkehrprozess erfordern. In dieser Hinsicht betrifft Gerechtigkeit nicht nur die gerechtere Verteilung von Gütern oder die Korrektur bestehender Ungerechtigkeiten, sondern nimmt auch eine wiedergutmachende Dimension an. Sie zielt darauf ab, zerbrochene Bindungen wiederherzustellen und diejenigen wieder einzubeziehen, die ausgeschlossen wurden, unter Berücksichtigung der Wunden, welche Ungerechtigkeiten hinterlassen haben: Kriege, Kolonialismus, rassistische oder geschlechtsspezifische Diskriminierung, Gewalt gegen ganze Völker, Ausbeutung. Dies kann bedeuten, denjenigen, die ignoriert wurden, Würde und Stimme zurückzugeben, Wege zur Heilung des kollektiven Gedächtnisses zu fördern, diskriminierenden Gesetzen und Praktiken entgegenzuwirken und konkret diejenigen zu unterstützen, die noch heute die Folgen von in der Vergangenheit erlittenem Unrecht tragen.

(…)

178. In unseren Tagen zeigt der Kolonialismus ein neues Gesicht. Er beherrscht nicht mehr nur Körper, sondern eignet sich Daten an und verwandelt das persönliche Leben in verwertbare Informationen. Ganze Gebiete, insbesondere jene mit geringerer geopolitischer Bedeutung und größerer struktureller Anfälligkeit, werden derzeit von einer neuen Logik der Ausbeutung durchzogen: Gesundheitsdaten, epidemiologische Profile, genetische Karten und demografische Daten. Dies sind die neuen „Seltenen Erden“ der Macht: lebenswichtige Informationen, die, sobald sie miteinander verknüpft sind, dazu genutzt werden können, Vorhersagemodelle zu trainieren, Investitionsstrategien zu lenken, Krisen vorauszusehen und vor allem auszuwählen, wer und was zählt. Wer über die Gesundheitsdaten ganzer Bevölkerungen verfügt – heute oft unter dem Deckmantel von Forschungsinnovation oder Entwicklungshilfe erhoben –, besitzt in Wirklichkeit einen strukturellen Hebel für die Zukunft: Er kann die Bedürfnisse und die Märkte gestalten. Und er kann vor anderen entscheiden, wem Medikamente, Investitionen und Schutzmaßnahmen zugeteilt werden. Hierin liegt eine der dringlichsten moralischen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit: gemeinsames Wissen in ein Gemeingut zu verwandeln, statt es als Beherrschungsinstrument zu nutzen. Das bedeutet, den Menschen nicht nur die Daten zurückzugeben, die sie beschreiben, sondern auch die Möglichkeit, zu entscheiden, wie diese genutzt werden, von wem und für wen. Andernfalls wird das digitale Zeitalter nicht postkolonial sein, sondern in einer anderen Form kolonial.

179. Die neuen Formen der Sklaverei leben von Wirtschaftsketten und digitalen Infrastrukturen. Daher ist es notwendig, in mehrere Richtungen zu arbeiten. Erstens müssen Lieferketten, die die Technologiebranche und die digitale Wirtschaft stützen, transparenter werden, damit kein Wettbewerbsvorteil auf unsichtbarer Ausbeutung aufbaut. Zweitens müssen Unternehmen und Investoren klare Kriterien für eine präventive ethische Überprüfung (due diligence) festlegen und dabei den Schutz der Arbeitnehmer, die Bekämpfung von Zwangsarbeit sowie die sozialen Auswirkungen datengesteuerter Geschäftsmodelle zu ihren Prioritäten zählen. Darüber hinaus müssen digitale Plattformen verantwortungsbewusst mit Behörden und der Zivilgesellschaft zusammenarbeiten, um zu verhindern, dass Programme für Kommunikation, Zahlung und Profiling zu Kanälen für die Anwerbung und Kontrolle von Opfern werden. Wenn diese Maßnahmen zusammenwirken, dann kann das digitale Umfeld von einem Raum der Ausbeutung in einen Raum des Schutzes, der Prävention und der Förderung der Würde verwandelt werden.

UAE to withdraw from OPEC, in blow to oil cartel and Saudi Arabia

OPEC is a cartel of major oil-producing nations that coordinates production policies to influence global oil supply and prices.

The UAE is also leaving OPEC+, which includes Russia, the statement said.

The move marks a major blow to OPEC and its leading member, Saudi Arabia. The cartel collectively accounts for 36% of the world’s oil production and together controls almost 80% of the world’s total proven reserves.

The draft resolution prepared by Bahrain and supported by the United States received 11 votes in favor, two against and two abstentions.

In 2011, NATO obtained the green light to intervene in Libya when Russia abstained from a vote. Moscow later fumed that this had led to the fall of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

One Month Later- Free The Tunisian 7

On March 6th, 2026, an arrest campaign was started that shook the pro-Palestinian landscape in Tunisia. Seven activists, some of whom put their own bodies on the line for the possibility of breaking the illegal siege on Gaza, were arrested and sent to prison on what appear to be unfounded charges. Let’s say their names:

• Jawaher Channa

• Wael Nawar – Member of the Global Steering Committee

• Ghassan Henchiri

• Ghassan Boughediri

• Sana Msahli

• Dr. Mohamed Amine Ben Nour

• Nabil Chennoufi – Member of the Global Steering Committee

Each of these 7 activists have played a vital role in the unprecedented GSF mission that was launched from Sidi Bou Said Port, Tunisia in September of 2025, an act that is protected under international law. Their mission was simply to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza and to establish a humanitarian corridor.

A Bid to Use Force to Open Strait of Hormuz Hits Roadblocks at U.N. Security Council

The actual vote on the resolution, which was drafted by Bahrain with the support of the Arab countries in the Persian Gulf, is expected to be scheduled for Friday. But it remained unclear whether extra hours of diplomacy would bring the three veto-holding countries on board.

Russia, China and France are among the five permanent members of the council with veto power. There were also divisions over the resolution among the 10 nonpermanent members, according to diplomats.

Russia, China, France veto UNSC resolution to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Arab nations, led by Bahrain, seeking UN Security Council authorisation for military intervention to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have faced a major setback as Russia, China and France vetoed the proposed resolution.

The strategic Strait of Hormuz—through which approximately 20 per cent of the world’s oil and gas supplies transit—was closed by Iran on 28 February 2026 amid escalating conflict with the United States and Israel.

What Iran means for the dollar: a perfect storm for the petrodollar

(March 24, 2026)

The world saves in dollars in large part because it pays in dollars. The dollar‘s dominance in cross-border trade is arguably built on the petrodollar: globally traded oil is priced and invoiced in USD. This arrangement can be traced to a deal struck in 1974 where Saudi Arabia agreed to price oil in USD and invest surpluses in USD assets, in exchange for US security guarantees. Because oil is a core input to global manufacturing and transport, there is a natural incentive for global value chains to dollarize, and global surpluses to accumulate in USD.

The foundations of the petrodollar regime have been under pressure even before this conflict. Most Middle East oil is now sold to Asia not the US; sanctioned oil from Russia and Iran has already been trading off dollar rails; Saudi Arabia has been localizing defence, and experimenting with forms of non-dollar payment infrastructure such as Project mBridge.

The current conflict may expose further fault lines, by challenging the US security umbrella for Gulf infrastructure and the maritime security for global trade in oil. Damage to Gulf economies could encourage an unwind in their foreign asset savings held largely in dollars. In this context, reports that the passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz may be granted in exchange for oil payments in yuan should be closely followed. The conflict could be remembered as a key catalyst for erosion in petrodollar dominance, and the beginnings of the petroyuan.

Khanna, Massie to sit together during Trump’s State of the Union

Cuban foreign minister expresses appreciation for African support against U.S. blockade

(February 15, 2026)

Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, thanked African heads of state and government today via his Twitter account for the resolution condemning the US economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the island.

The Cuban foreign minister described the decision of the 39th African Union Summit, concluded in Addis Ababa, as a show of solidarity. For the seventeenth consecutive time, the summit rejected the economic, financial, and commercial policies imposed by Washington.

The resolution also demanded, for the third time, Cuba’s removal from the illegal list compiled by the U.S. State Department of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.

U.S. lawmaker Ro Khanna names 6 ‚powerful men‘ originally redacted from Epstein files

Khanna took the extraordinary step of naming six „powerful men“ in the chamber who he said had their names improperly redacted, after visiting the Justice Department with Massie on Monday — the first day lawmakers were allowed to view unredacted files.

The presence of one‘s name in the files related to Epstein does not by itself indicate criminal wrongdoing, but Khanna is likely protected from legal consequence or defamation claims by the „speech or debate“ clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Israel: Arab parties agree to revive Joint List ahead of Knesset election

„The Joint List could become the second or third largest party in the Knesset in terms of size and representation, forming a parliamentary bloc capable of achieving far more than any small party acting alone,“ he added.

Efforts to re-establish the Joint List have been underway for some time. In August, The Times of Israel reported that party leaders were holding talks aimed at reviving the alliance, amid frustration over Israel’s war on Gaza and a desire to increase the political influence of Palestinian citizens of Israel.

France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.

It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.

It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.

No intimidation or threat will influence us—neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations.

Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner should they be confirmed. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld.

It is in this spirit that I will engage with our European partners.

Demands Met on 73rd Day as Three End Strike

(January 14, 2026)

With this victory it has never been clearer that Elbit’s days in Britain are numbered.

In addition to this key demand being met, we want to take this opportunity to celebrate the various victories achieved across the duration of the hunger strike:

– In the past few weeks alone, hundreds of people have signed up to take action against the genocidal military-industrial complex, more than the amount of people who took action with Palestine Action over its 5 year campaign. During that 5 year campaign, 4 Israeli weapons factories were shut down. Elbit Systems is living on stolen time – we will see it shut down for good, not because of the government, but because of the people.

– Heba Muraisi’s transfer to HMP Bronzefield has been accepted by HMP New Hall, where she is currently held in intentional isolation from her family and friends.

– T. Hoxha has been offered a meeting with the head of JEXU (Joint Extremism Unit) at her prison, the very same organisation that orchestrates the prisoners’ treatment as ‘terrorists’.

– Despite the cruel and constant medical neglect of the hunger strikers; including not logging food refusal, refusal of ambulances in life threatening emergencies, and degrading treatment in hospital; the national heads of prison healthcare have met with us at the behest of the Ministry of Justice.

– During the hunger strike, some of the prisoners started receiving bulk packages of witheld mail, and in one case received an apology from prison staff for a letter that was delayed by 6 months. Books on topics of Gaza and feminism have also been given after months of waiting.

– In pursuit of a fair trial, the hunger strikers demanded disclosure of export licenses for the last 5 years from Elbit Systems. After repeated requests, this information was disclosed to an independent researcher by the Department of Trade during the hunger strike.

Palestine Action Prison Hunger Strike Ends After a Victory in the UK

Three British activists jailed for alleged involvement with the banned anti-genocide group Palestine Action ended their monthslong hunger strike late Wednesday after the UK government rejected a $2.7 billion contract for a subsidiary of Israel’s largest weapons maker, Elbit Systems.

Prisoners for Palestine (P4P), which represents the hunger strikers, said that Hamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi, and Lewie Chiaramello would accept food again. Muraisi hadn’t eaten in 73 days, while Ahmed refused food for 66 days and Chiaramello, who has Type 1 diabetes, fasted every other day for 44 days.
