Justice should never be a weapon for power. Courts exist to protect rights, not to crush them. When the gavel becomes a hammer, democracy bleeds.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has responded to President Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” with a touch of sarcasm. She suggested that perhaps the entire region could be called “Mexican America,” referencing historical maps from 1607

🇮🇹 After the rule of law defeated populism in the Albania deportation affair, Italy changed the law, picked a supposedly more favorable court (!), and resumed deportations.

A horrific massacre is unfolding once again. Eighty years ago, we vowed “never again,” yet here we are. The same justifications, the same violence, the same “silence of the good ones”, the same sense of helplessness.

We pay the buffer states to keep the “hordes of immigrants” away from us: institutions couldn’t care less about rights or the rule of law. That leaves us, the Human Rights Defenders (journalists, lawyers, ngo‘s activists, ..), on our own. But we will continue to stand watch.
