This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:     The train crash was NOT a tragedy

*  The signs had long been there

*  “Tragic human error”? Instead, a series of them from actors with power

*  When you control the media, you can alter the story

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece.

The country is grieving the train collision victims on Tuesday, 28 February 2023, at 23.21 in Tempi, Central Greece. The news was shocking. It is “the biggest train accident in Greece’s history,” as the Panhellenic Rail Workers Federation president Ioannis Nitsas said.

As we write, the emergency services are still at work, trying to detect and release the bodies inside - or what remained of them. The number of dead as of Friday was 57; 36 of them confirmed their identity. Thirty-eight passengers are hospitalized, seven of them in ICUs.

This accident, however, was not a tragedy. In ancient tragedies, the hero ignores a substantial piece of information that is meant to shape his destiny. In this case, the state knew and had repeatedly been warned about an accident waiting to happen, mainly due to crucial shortages in infrastructure and understaffing - and yet it let it happen.It cannot be recommended strongly enough to read and share this week's updates on the events and developments in Greece here:

EU court rules against Austria on migrants′ child benefits | News | DW

Austria is committing “indirect discrimination” with its mechanism that allows the state to pay less in child benefits to certain migrant groups, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said in a ruling on Thursday. The mechanism adjusts the amount of child benefits depending on the country where the child lives. If the child is a resident of a country that is richer than Austria, the migrant worker…

never gonna work in international law bc i know myself and i know you would all see me on tv after i inevitably blow up some institution

you know things are bad when you suddenly miss your french lessons, and especially math and citizenship

I really really like him as Wilmer. It makes me kinda sad that most of the love for Wilmer only really goes to the version of him in the 31' film, even from people who otherwise mostly prefer the 1941 version

Gah i'm having issues again

German Adult-Use Legalization Hearings and EU Countries Collab on Cannabis: What Can We Expect Next?

German Adult-Use Legalization Hearings and EU Countries Collab on Cannabis: What Can We Expect Next?

By Niklas Kouparanis Current international law, which restricts the cultivation, supply and possession of cannabis only for medical and scientific purposes, has failed to achieve its set goals. Recently, three European Union (EU) countries–Malta, Luxembourg and Germany–have come together to draft a common statement on why the EU needs a new approach to cannabis use for adult-use production, sale,…

Moreover, Berman confuses opinion for authority in international law. International law is not some kind of geopolitical version of reality shows like Survivor. If it were a popularity contest, Israel, and the U.S. for the matter, would have been voted off the island a long time ago. Recall that in 1975, the U.N. voted for a resolution saying the entire idea of a Jewish state is illegal. Fortunately, international law can only be authoritatively interpreted by duly authorized entities, and nothing in the U.N. Charter makes it a decider of international law.

Similarly, Berman also cites the International Court of Justice, referring presumably to its Advisory Opinion in the Wall case of 2004. But that decision was explicitly not legally binding. It has no more authority than a ruling on the meaning of Romanian law by a U.S. court. It is only entitled to deference based on the quality of its analysis, of which it had none, but rather relied on citing U.N. resolutions that had said the same thing, all solely in the context of Israel. Indeed, the other supposed authorities Berman cites, such as the ICC and ECJ, all merely reiterate the political positions of U.N. resolutions, notorious for their obsessive focus on Israel. They do not even address the primary arguments for the legality of settlements, but rather engage in an endless cycle of circular citation. It is turtles all the way down.

Turning to actual sources of law, Berman cites Art. 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, a treaty that applies to situations of wartime occupation. But he completely skips most of the argument for the legality of Israeli settlements, which is that the territory was not in fact occupied in the legal sense by Israel, making Art. 49(6) irrelevant. The arguments for lack of occupation focus on the lack of Jordanian sovereignty over the territory. The Cession of Vessels and Tugs for Navigation on the Danube case held that territory that was not under the sovereignty of any state could not become occupied. That means that the West Bank, which was not under Jordanian sovereignty, could not be deemed occupied. Danube Navigation was decided before 1967, and would thus reflect the law as it was when Israel took control of the territories, unlike the ICJ and other cases cited by Berman, which were decided decades later.

Moreover one cannot occupy one’s own territory: If Ukraine retakes Crimea from Russia, it will not be an occupation just because it had long been administered by Moscow. As professor Avi Bell and I have demonstrated at great length, under general rules of international law applicable around the world, Israel would have a sovereign claim to the West Bank from 1948 (not so for the Golan Heights). That is because newly created states inherit the borders of the prior administrative units in the territory, in this case, Mandatory Palestine. Berman mocks reliance on mandatory borders, but the very existence of Jordan, as well as most of the borders of the Middle East, are based fully on mandatory borders. There is nothing lawlike about a unique rule of borders just for the Jewish state.

Finally and alternatively, even if an occupation arose in 1967, the 1994 peace treaty would end any state of occupation, as emphasized in a memorandum written in 1977 by the State Department legal adviser under Jimmy Carter.

I finally saw stranger on the third floor(kinda, the version I watched was of a very poor quality)

The movie as a whole was ok, but wow! I love the stranger. Also Joe Briggs

Today in rocket jumping:

Reached jump... 13? on the old Jump Academy map. Got defeated by waljump+ direction change. Took waterwindow's further advice, nominated Quattro and rotated the map on one of the ECJ servers, and was glad to see bots to help me.

Got past the blue zone and the green zone, and did not get past the first yellow jump. It was one of those jumps where you jump against the wall, but there's a corner, and you have to jump along the second wall. I need to clean up my jumps in the green zone, and also need to get past what keeps stumping me: corners. IDK how to walljump and successfully turn with the corner and continue walljumping. It's something to work on.

I think I know what one of my issues with walljumping is. When I turn to shoot against the wall for the second rocket, I aim too high up and horizontally, which causes me to loose height and to land too soon. I will have to pay more attention to that. I also tried Easy Jurf on the newer JA map and... no I do not get jurfing yet.
