    Venal Reactions: US Allies Validate Maduro’s Abduction

    On the surface, abducting a Head of State is a piratical act eschewed by States. A Head of State enjoys absolute immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction, known as ratione personae, at least till the term of office concludes. The International Court of Justice was clear enough about this principle in the 2002 Arrest Warrant Case, […]

  • The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    Behind the diplomatic language of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘stabilisation’, a new colonial framework for Gaza is being assembled. The following is why the latest Security Council resolution matters and what it sets in motion. On 17 November, the UN Security Council approved a draft resolution authored by the United States endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan for […]

  • Spyware and Murder: The NSO Group, Governments, and Khashoggi

    The efforts to hold the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in its Istanbul consulate in October 2018 continue. In his complex connubial life, the slain scribbler can now count, not only on efforts made by fiancée Hatice Cengiz in 2020 but his widow Hanan Elatr Khashoggi […]

  • Jacques Baud and the EU/NATO Censorship Architecture

    If Baud, then we are all potential targets now! Jacques Baud’s case is mind-boggling. A Swiss citizen, a former NATO-, OSCE- and UN-related colleague and author who relies mainly on Western sources, has been sanctioned by the European Union. There is no evidence that he worked with or for Russia. His “crime” is interpretation: offering […]

  • A Long Overdue Legal Initiative: Charges of Genocide against Ukraine

    Good for Russia! And cautiously, good for international law! The International Criminal Court (ICJ), an institution with scant juridical credibility, which was founded under the auspices of the collective West and remains effectively under its control, has agreed to consider Russia’s submission wherein the neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime is charged with committing genocide against Ukrainian citizens, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Julian Assange: Sweden Broke Own Laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado

    By awarding its peace prize to Trump’s favorite Venezuelan opposition figure, pro-war coup plotter Maria Corina Machado, the Nobel Committee contravened the principles enshrined in its founding documents, as well as Swedish law, Julian Assange alleged in an explosive brief reviewed by The Grayzone. The Swedish government violated its own laws by awarding the Nobel […]

  • 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.” […]
