  • Policing of Palestine Movement in Canada

    A new report has been published by the Anti-Racism Program of the CJPME Foundation (ARPCF), documenting how Canadian authorities have responded to pro-Palestinian activism with disproportionate policing, surveillance, and legal targeting. Titled “Policing Palestine Solidarity: A crisis of Civil Liberties in Canada (2021-2025),” the 71-page report finds that in the wake of Gaza solidarity mobilizations, state institutions […]

  • Ignoring International Obligations: Blocking UN Human Rights Delegates in Australia

    Bureaucracy, in a formulation by the great German sociologist Max Weber, fanatically defends secrecy, and is bound to confect any explanation in doing so. When it comes to swatting away scrutiny by United Nations human rights delegates, local officials can be relied upon to obfuscate, blur and lie about a Member State’s observance of conventions […]

  • West Virginia Judge Says Charter Schools Violate State Constitution

    In December 2025, Judge Jennifer Bailey of the 8th Judicial Circuit Court in West Virginia ruled that the creation of the state’s charter schools are unconstitutional because they were authorized by the West Virginia Professional Charter School Board (PCSB) instead of being authorized by “the constitutionally mandated consent of a majority of affected county voters.” […]

  • Murder on the High Seas?

    Murder on the High Seas?

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, announced in a post on X another deadly U.S. strike on a boat he said was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea. (Screengrab from a post on X) Since Sept. 2, following the orders of President Donald Trump, U.S. armed forces have launched at least 22 […]

  • Defend Popular Will, Struggle for People(s)-Centered Human Rights!

    This past Human Rights Day illuminated what Gaza has relegated to the dustbin of history: the oxymoron of “Western values and human rights.” Western civilization stands as a living negation of human rights, a truth illustrated by the ongoing atrocities in Palestine and the brutal legacies of Western intervention in Haiti, Congo, and Sudan. The […]

  • Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 is Operation TIPS on steroids. After 9/11, President George W. Bush proposed a program recruiting ordinary workers — truck drivers, postal workers, utility workers, cable installers — to report “suspicious behavior” to authorities. Critics quickly warned that TIPS resembled a domestic informant network, a kind of “neighbors spying […]

  • Pakistan’s Packed Prisons

    Prisons in Pakistan are overcrowded and jam-packed with thousands of inmates living under conditions that take away their health, dignity, and hope. Behind the bars lies a human rights crisis that goes well beyond the mandate of official reports or the business of courtroom debate. Pakistan’s prisons now confine around 102,026 inmates despite being built […]

  • Experiments in Futility: Australia’s Teenage Social Media Ban Approaches

    The messiness of Australia’s social media ban for those under 16 as part of the Online Safety Act 2021 is becoming more apparent by the day. From December 10 this year, as announced by the commissar-minded eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, “age-restricted social media platforms will have to take reasonable steps to prevent Australians under […]

  • Clownish Proscriptions: Challenging the Palestine Action Ban

    On June 20, members of Palestine Action broke into a Royal Air Force base at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, going on to spray paint two military aircraft activists claimed were being used in “direct participation in the commission of genocide and war crimes across the Middle East.” This was deemed so horrible as to draw the […]

  • Venezuela Under Siege: A Hundred Deaths at Sea – Hundreds of Thousands by Sanctions

    Most of the world looks on in disbelief at the now-routine murders on the high seas off Venezuela’s coast – serial killings that the newly minted War Department calls Operation Southern Spear. On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the attacks, saying that the “mounting human costs are unacceptable.” The […]
