Ecuador's authoritarian turn to the radical right. Noboa has banned the opposition from running in Ecuador’s upcoming elections. For far less the US has denounced, condemned and even sanctioned governments it doesn't like. But Noboa’s authoritarianism gets a free pass. My take…
“CIDH llama a Ecuador a garantizar la participación política plural en las elecciones seccionales” La CIDH hace un recuento pormenorizado de todo el manoseo jurídico-institucional que llevó a la proscripción de la oposición en Ecuador. A buen entendedor: no son elecciones democr…
Another day, another gruesome headline in Noboa’s Ecuador: “Yelibert Moreira, the prime witness in a case against seven members of the armed forces indicted for torture and extrajudicial killings, is found decapitated.”
De la Espriella’s announcement that Colombia will withdraw from The Hague Group on the first day of his presidency confirms just how central the group has become to global politics. The dividing line could not be clearer. On one side stand the far-right governments that have ena…
Esta semana hablé con @CrisisRevista (revista Crisis, FM La Tribu) sobre el momento que atraviesa la región. Salió mucho: la crisis de seguridad en Ecuador, el rearmado de la política estadounidense hacia América Latina desde Miami, el trauma que dejó el ataque a Venezuela. Pero…
The Canada–Ecuador FTA brazenly violates Ecuador’s Constitution and disregards the outcome of Ecuador’s 2025 referendum which rejects investor-state arbitration. In signing this agreement, Canada contributes to the erosion of democracy and rule of law in Ecuador (and cozies up to…
The Canada–Ecuador FTA brazenly violates Ecuador’s Constitution and disregards the outcome of the 2025 referendum which rejects investor-state arbitration. In doing so, Canada contributes to the erosion of democracy and rule of law and cozying up to Ecuador’s authoritarian ruler—…
Cincuenta congresistas de EE.UU., entre senadores y representantes, enviaron en Washington una carta al presidente Donald Trump en la que condenaron el bloqueo económico, comercial y financiero impuesto contra Cuba y solicitaron un cambio de enfoque en la política hacia la Isla.
Iran has allowed French ships through the Strait of Hormuz — a sign of the leverage it now holds. US hubris and overreach handed Tehran the tools to exploit divisions and turn them to its advantage. This is imperial decline: allies making their own arrangements while you posture
Nos dicen que no habrá apagones… y hay apagones. Nos dicen que las muertes violentas han disminuido… y continúan las masacres. Nos dicen que bombardearon a los Comandos en la Frontera… y era una finca lechera. Nos dicen que adelantan las elecciones por nuestro bien... Y
Iranian President Pezeshkian's close ally Zarif reveals Iranian proposal to end the war: - IRAN STEPS FOLLOWING THE END OF THE HOSTILITIES 1- Commit never to seek nuclear weapons 2- Down-blend enriched uranium to below 3.67 percent 3- Ratify the IAEA Additional Protocol for
A UN investigation substantiated 4 cases of sexual abuse last year involving foreign troops deployed to Haiti. This follows a long pattern of abuse with foreign security interventions, and comes out just as yet another deployment of foreign troops is beginning. Much respect to
¿Quién devuelve el tiempo de vida perdido, el dolor de las familias, el daño a la reputación? Aquiles también debería estar libre. Fue encarcelado por el mismo caso, pero ahora argumentan que se quitó el grillete. Es decir, el objetivo es tenerte preso, después se busca el
Congratulation to @petrogustavo President of Colombia, for his leadership in announcing Colombia’s move away from the biased investment arbitration regime. Great opportunity for other countries to follow suit, at the upcoming Conference on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels.
¡A 44 años del conflicto en el Atlántico Sur toda América Latina y la comunidad internacional deben recordar que las Malvinas son argentinas por la historia, el derecho y la razón, y exigir a 🇬🇧 reiniciar negociaciones sobre la cuestión de soberanía según las Resoluciones de 🇺…
This is a must-read piece by @MarkWeisbrot for @latimes on the illegality of collective punishment under international law in the context of the current US blockade on Cuba. The author makes a convincing case that “to invoke the Geneva Conventions and prosecute American officials…
The Pasteur Institute has been an icon of Iran’s health care system, a symbol of modern Iran, established a century ago along with foundational health and education institutions. Destroying it could have no other purpose than assaulting Iran’s history, erasing the history of its
It’s not the United States’ ends that European liberals of this ilk have a problem with. It’s its means. Europe is mourning the end of soft power, without which western dominance is but a mere “caricature”. It is mourning the lifting of the mask of empire.
Nervousness as the old order crumbles. But Schumer is right. Insiders such as Rubio will do their utmost to save NATO. Rutte will continue to grovel. And for all their tepid opposition to this war, the Europeans have yet to truly embrace strategic autonomy and diversification. Ma…
The first foreign troops from the US-backed "Gang Suppression Force" arrived in Haiti this morning. As I wrote in @thenation (link in reply), this latest intervention seems more likely to perpetuate the crisis than stop it. To build something new, Haiti doesn’t need war. It
I couldn’t agree more with this analysis and with the fact that Israel’s 3 stated objectives have not been met. I would add that Israel may find that threats to its security have, in fact, significantly increased as a result of the war. A few reasons: 1. One major unknown is wha…
El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos. Mismo crimen, distinta pena. Eso no es justicia. Es un
Rubio's cynicism is on another level. The White House, of course, never signed into effect the following January 29 order punishing countries for any oil exports to Cuba: "Beginning on the effective date of this order, an additional ad valorem rate of duty may be imposed on good…
We cannot let Cuba become the next target on Trump’s list after Venezuela and Iran. Congress must pass my resolution to block Trump from using taxpayer dollars to attack Cuba without congressional authorization.
