One of America’s most corporate-crime-friendly bankruptcy judges forced to recuse himself

Today (Oct 16) I'm in Minneapolis, keynoting the 26th ACM Conference On Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing. Thursday (Oct 19), I'm in Charleston, WV to give the 41st annual McCreight Lecture in the Humanities. Friday (Oct 20), I'm at Charleston's Taylor Books from 12h-14h.

"I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one." The now-famous quip from Robert Reich cuts to the bone of corporate personhood. Corporations are people with speech rights. They are heat-shields that absorb liability on behalf of their owners and managers.

But the membrane separating corporations from people is selectively permeable. A corporation is separate from its owners, who are not liable for its deeds – but it can also be "closely held," and so inseparable from those owners that their religious beliefs can excuse their companies from obeying laws they don't like:

https://clsbluesky.law.columbia.edu/2014/10/13/hobby-lobby-and-closely-held-corporations/

Corporations – not their owners – are liable for their misdeeds (that's the "limited liability" in "limited liablity corporation"). But owners of a murderous company can hold their victims' families hostage and secure bankruptcies for their companies that wipe out their owners' culpability – without any requirement for the owners to surrender their billions to the people they killed and maimed:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/11/justice-delayed/#justice-redeemed

Corporations are, in other words, a kind of Schroedinger's Cat for impunity: when it helps the ruling class, corporations are inseparable from their owners; when that would hinder the rich and powerful, corporations are wholly distinct entities. They exist in a state of convenient superposition that collapses only when a plutocrat opens the box and decides what is inside it. Heads they win, tails we lose.

Key to corporate impunity is the rigged bankruptcy system. "Debts that can't be paid, won't be paid," so every successful civilization has some system for discharging debt, or it risks collapse:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/bankruptcy-protects-fake-people-brutalizes-real-ones/

When you or I declare bankruptcy, we have to give up virtually everything and endure years (or a lifetime) of punitive retaliation based on our stained credit records, and even then, our student debts continue to haunt us, as do lawless scumbag debt-collectors:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/12/do-not-pay/#fair-debt-collection-practices-act

When a giant corporation declares bankruptcy, by contrast, it emerges shorn of its union pension obligations and liabilities owed to workers and customers it abused or killed, and continues merrily on its way, re-offending at will. Big companies have mastered the Texas Two-Step, whereby a company creates a subsidiary that inherits all its liabilities, but not its assets. The liability-burdened company is declared bankrupt, and the company's sins are shriven at the bang of a judge's gavel:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/01/j-and-j-jk/#risible-gambit

Three US judges oversee the majority of large corporate bankruptcies, and they are so reliable in their deference to this scheme that an entire industry of high-priced lawyers exists solely to game the system to ensure that their clients end up before one of these judges. When the Sacklers were seeking to abscond with their billions in opioid blood-money and stiff their victims' families, they set their sights on Judge Robert Drain in the Southern District of New York:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/23/a-bankrupt-process/#sacklers

To get in front of Drain, the Sacklers opened an office in White Plains, NY, then waited 192 days to file bankruptcy papers there (it takes six months to establish jurisdiction). Their papers including invisible metadata that identified the case as destined for Judge Drain's court, in a bid to trick the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Files system to assign the case to him.

The case was even pre-captioned "RDD" ("Robert D Drain"), to nudge clerks into getting their case into a friendly forum.

If the Sacklers hadn't opted for Judge Drain, they might have set their sights on the Houston courthouse presided over by Judge David Jones, the second of of the three most corporate-friendly large bankruptcy judges. Judge Jones is a Texas judge – as in "Texas Two-Step" – and he has a long history of allowing corporate murderers and thieves to escape with their fortunes intact and their victims penniless:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/07/hr-4193/#shoppers-choice

But David Jones's reign of error is now in limbo. It turns out that he was secretly romantically involved with Elizabeth Freeman, a leading Texas corporate bankruptcy lawyer who argues Texas Two-Step cases in front of her boyfriend, Judge David Jones.

Judge Jones doesn't deny that he and Freeman are romantically involved, but said that he didn't think this fact warranted disclosure – let alone recusal – because they aren't married and "he didn't benefit economically from her legal work." He said that he'd only have to disclose if the two owned communal property, but the deed for their house lists them as co-owners:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24032507-general-warranty-deed

(Jones claims they don't live together – rather, he owns the house and pays the utility bills but lets Freeman live there.)

Even if they didn't own communal property, judges should not hear cases where one of the parties is represented by their long term romantic partner. I mean, that is a weird sentence to have to type, but I stand by it.

The case that led to the revelation and Jones's stepping away from his cases while the Fifth Circuit investigates is a ghastly – but typical – corporate murder trial. Corizon is a prison healthcare provider that killed prisoners with neglect, in the most cruel and awful ways imaginable. Their families sued, so Corizon budded off two new companies: YesCare got all the contracts and other assets, while Tehum Care Services got all the liabilities:

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/prominent-bankruptcy-judge-david-jones-033801325.html

Then, Tehum paid Freeman to tell her boyfriend, Judge Jones, to let it declare bankruptcy, leaving $173m for YesCare and allocating $37m for the victims suing Tehum. Corizon owes more than $1.2b, "including tens of millions of dollars in unpaid invoices and hundreds of malpractice suits filed by prisoners and their families who have alleged negligent care":

https://www.kccllc.net/tehum/document/2390086230522000000000041

Under the deal, if Corizon murdered your family member, you would get $5,000 in compensation. Corizon gets to continue operating, using that $173m to prolong its yearslong murder spree.

The revelation that Jones and Freeman are lovers has derailed this deal. Jones is under investigation and has recused himself from his cases. The US Trustee – who represents creditors in bankruptcy cases – has intervened to block the deal, calling Tehum "a barren estate, one that was stripped of all of its valuable assets as a result of the combination and divisional mergers that occurred prior to the bankruptcy filing."

This is the third high-profile sleazy corporate bankruptcy that had victory snatched from the jaws of defeat this year: there was Johnson and Johnson's attempt to escape from liability from tricking women into powder their vulvas with asbestos (no, really), the Sacklers' attempt to abscond with billions after kicking off the opioid epidemic that's killed 800,000+ Americans and counting, and now this one.

This one might be the most consequential, though – it has the potential to eliminate one third of the major crime-enabling bankruptcy judges serving today.

One down.

Two to go.

CHERRYADE: TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? Song Kyumin. Jul 1, 2021.

JAGUAR have emerged from their two-year period of almost complete radio silence with news that has shocked many—or perhaps a little less than many, because you can’t really expect to rise from the dead and still have millions of fans at your beck and call, ready to lap up any scraps you throw them. A new boy group is on the way, and their name is CHERRYADE. Something too sweet to drink all in one go, but too carbonated to sit on the tongue comfortably after just one sip. It seems rather on-brand for a company that has so far fed us one group that hated each other’s guts, one soloist who kicked the chair after one (1) album that tanked, and a duo who I’m still not sure were hate-fucking or making attempts on the other’s life every time the camera turned.

This time, though, they’re not unveiling their (sure-to-be devastatingly attractive) members one-by-one from wherever they’d been hiding them, as per the last three attempts. Neither are they shoving their undebuted faces in our faces with countless social media accounts or endlessly boring introduction videos. Instead, JAGUAR have made the decision to protect the idol-environment and reuse some of our past favourites, taking them from one unknown group to another. Aren’t we lucky.

This isn’t a new (or even particularly exciting) concept. You may recognise the formula from STRMRUNNER Media, who chose trainees from only the top companies to shove together in a now-superstar group named SO(U)L. JAGUAR CEO Ae Seungdae must have witnessed the success the seven have seen and decided he wanted a piece of the pie. They even share the same amount of members. But I doubt they’ll be greeting each other at any music shows or posting any cutesy selcas on Twitter, because some of the boys selected for this ‘supergroup’ of sorts aren’t known to be the nicest.

First, JAGUAR reached out to FNC and asked if they would miss SLOW MOTION’s leader KIL DOYEON terribly. The answer must’ve been no, as he’s rumoured to be the appointed leader of CHERRYADE also. Next on the list was METRONOME MEDIA’s DUAN JIEYANG (more commonly known as DJ) and JEON HAEIL from almost-forgotten group ALGORHYTHM, who had been in hot water previously for alleged physical fights breaking out between leader DAEHOON and youngest LEVI—who, funnily enough, left the group and ended up in SLOW MOTION not long after.

The higher-ups didn’t have to look too hard for the next couple of members, as they were right there in their pockets anyway. QIAO YIJUN and AHN JAEHEE (once an actor) from BONSOIR were next on the roster, and the general consensus on that was that it was certainly an.. interesting choice to make. They were the two that seemed to despise each other the most, after all.

Next is one that may surprise some. HWAN MINHUI (or GOGO, as many know and love him as) was recruited from SM’s smallest sub-unit NCT DRIFT. Reactions were mixed, but the largest question of all was why. Alas, it doesn’t seem like JAGUAR is going to be holding a press conference anytime soon to answer that burning inquiry. There’s far too much on their plates for that, what with trying to get all these complete strangers to act civil with each other and all.

The last member of CHERRYADE is the only new face that we’re receiving. Not much is known about him except his name, LEE HASUN, and that he’s the youngest of the lot. Let’s hope he doesn’t receive the same treatment as JAEHEE did, because otherwise this ‘supergroup’ might last even less time than all of JAGUAR’s other ventures combined. And we wouldn’t want that, of course. Or would we?

Whatever the public may think of them, the one thing that is certain is that JAGUAR won’t care. Their age old motto of ‘any press is good press’ has lasted them far too long for them to be doing anything like reassessing their values or realigning their morals. Hell, some have even been saying that accused nepo baby BONSOIR manager HONG JAEYOUNG has found his new place as CHERRYADE’s handler, so from that alone it doesn’t sound like they’re going to be off to a spectacularly great start public-opinion wise.

The group are making their debut on August 1st, 2021—a mere month from now. What they’re releasing is still a mystery (a single? An EP? A mini-album? I’m as clueless as you are), but what we do know is that it’s going to be called DOUBLE DIP. I can vaguely glean the concept they’re going for from the name alone. Teeth-rotting, sugary goodness. The type of stuff that makes your mouth feel heady and vision swim. Or your ears bleed, depending on your opinion on the type of music that JAGUAR has put out thus far. Their styling seems to be heading in the same direction, as the explosion of colour that makes up their seconds-long teaser video is reminiscent of a handful of candy scooped up into the hands of an eager child.

CHERRYADE marks JAGUAR’s fourth attempt at an idol presence. Most of the hard work has been done for them, what with them lifting most of the members from other groups, but that in no way means they won’t meet the same failed fate as all of their predecessors. I feel that most deciding to follow the group will be doing so more out of morbid curiosity rather than genuine excitement for the content they’ll produce, and music they’ll put out. Right now they seem more like a ticking time bomb set to explode in an array of violently bright colours and burnt sugar than a group of boys that’ll be loved by the masses.

But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe CHERRYADE will be the success JAGUAR has so sorely been wanting, and for more reasons than how many times they’ve been caught smoking or leaving shady love hotels in the earliest hours of the morning. Maybe the seven will actually grow to like each other, and they’ll replace the previous reputation they held—of catty and spiteful boys who were there for the money and to make the lives of people they didn’t like as unpleasant as possible—with one that paints them as genuine, likeable people. We’ll just have to wait and see.

DOUBLE DIP. Whatever it turns out to be, it’s dropping August 1st, 2021, at 2PM KST. Do make sure to tune in, if you want to see what all the fuss is about.

Or don’t. I suppose I wouldn’t blame you.

SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION TO INFOCOMM TECH LAW IN SINGAPORE

OPTIONAL READING: ICT LAW IN SINGAPORE CHAPTER 1

OPTIONAL REFERENCES: LAW AND TECH IN SINGAPORE CHAPTERS 1-3

A. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE

New economies have emerged within the last two decades including digital models of transaction and disruptive innovation. Internet intermediaries generally are taking on a major role as facilitators of commercial and non-commercial transactions online. These include social networking platforms (e.g. Facebook, IG and Twitter), multimedia sharing platforms (e.g. YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify), search engines and news aggregators (e.g. Yahoo, Google), content hosts and storage facilities (e.g. Dropbox) and many others. Content generating platforms such as TikTok have also become popular even as cybersecurity concerns and other misgivings have emerged at the governmental level in some jurisdictions.

In the last few years, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) have become quite common in advanced economies, the latest being wearable devices for the 'Metaverse' and an even more immersive experience in the digital realm. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also becoming more visible at the workplace and at home, leading to ethical concerns and a slate of guidelines globally to 'govern' its development and deployment. Most recently, interest in generative AI (GAI) emerged from the successful launch of chatGPT and other similar services.

Policies and laws have been adapted to deal with the roles and functions of Internet intermediaries, IoT and AI devices and services, and their potential effects and impact on society. Regulators in every jurisdiction are faced with the challenge to manage the new economy and players, and to balance the interest of multiple parties, in the context of areas of law including intellectual property, data protection, privacy, cloud technology and cyber-security. Different types of safe harbour laws and exceptions have emerged to protect these intermediaries and putting in place special obligations; while some forms of protections have been augmented to protect the interests of other parties including content providers and creators as well as society at large. Students taking this course will examine the legal issues and solutions arising from transactions through the creation and use of digital information, goods and services ('info') as well as the use of non-physical channels of communication and delivery ('comm').

The technological developments from Web 1.0 to 2.0 and the future of Web 3.0 with its impact on human interaction and B2B/B2C commerce as well as e-governance will be examined in the context of civil and criminal law, both in relation to the relevance of old laws and the enactment of new ones. In particular, this course examines the laws specifically arising from and relating to electronic transactions and interaction and their objectives and impact on the individual vis-à-vis other parties. Students will be taken through the policy considerations and general Singapore legislations and judicial decisions on the subject with comparisons and reference to foreign legislation where relevant.

In particular, electronic commerce and other forms of transactions will be studied with reference to the Electronic Transactions Act (2010) and the Singapore domain name framework supporting access to websites; personal data privacy and protection will be studied with reference to the Personal Data Protection Act of 2012 and the Spam Control Act; the challenges and changes to tort law to deal with online tortious conduct will be analysed (e.g. cyber-harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act (2014) and online defamation in the context of online communication); the rights and liabilities relating to personal uses of Internet content and user-generated content will be considered with reference to the Copyright Act (2021); computer security and crimes will be studied with reference to the Computer Misuse Act (2017) and the Cybersecurity Act (2018); and last, but not least, Internet regulation under the Broadcasting Act and its regulations as well as the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (2019), the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act (2021) and the Online Criminal Harms Bill (2021) will be critically evaluated.

You will note from the above paragraph that there have been an acceleration in the enactment of ICT laws and amendments in recent years, which shows the renewed focus of the government and policy-makers when it comes to the digital economy and society (as we move towards a SMART Nation). This is happening not online in Singapore, but abroad as well. In such an inter-connected work with porous jurisdiction when it comes to human interaction and commercial transactions, we have to be aware of global trends and, in some cases, the laws of other jurisdictions as well. When it is relevant, foreign laws will also be canvassed as a comparison or to contrast the approach to a specific problem. Projects are a good way to approach in greater depth.

B. CLASS PREPARATION FOR SESSION 1

In preparation for this session, use the online and library resources that you are familiar with to answer the following questions in the Singapore context (and for foreign/exchange students, in the context of your respective countries):

What are the relevant agencies and their policies on ICT?

What are the areas of law that are most impacted by ICT?

What is the government's position on Artificial Intelligence?

What are the latest legal developments on this field?

Also, critically consider the analysis and recommendations made in the report on Applying Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence in Regulatory Reform, SAL Law Reform Committee, July 2020. Evaluate it against the second version of the Model AI Governance Framework from the IMDA. Also, look at the Discussion Paper on GAI released on 6 June 2023. Take note of this even as we embark on the ‘tour’ of disparate ICT topics from Session 2 onwards, and the implications for each of those areas of law that will be covered in class.

C. ASSESSMENT METHOD AND GRADING DISTRIBUTION

Class Participation 10% (individually assessed)

Group Project 30% (group assessed)

Written Exam 60% (2 hour open book examination)

This course will be fully conducted in the classroom setting. Project groups will be formed by week 2, projects will be assigned from week 3, and presentations will begin from week 4 with written assignments to be due for submission a weeks after presentation. Further details and instructions will be given after the groups are formed, but before the first project assignment.

D. RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOK AND READINGS

The main textbook is: Warren B. Chik & Saw Cheng Lim, Information and Communications Technology Law in Singapore (Academy Publishing, Law Practice Series, July 2020). You can purchase the book (both physical and electronic copies) from the Singapore Academy of Law Publishing (ask for the student discount). If you prefer, there are copies available in the reserves section of the Law Library that you can use. The other useful reference will be: Chesterman, Goh & Phang, Law and Technology in Singapore (Academy Publishing, Law Practice Series, September 2021).

Due to the rapid pace of development in the law in some areas of analysis, students will also be given instructions and pre-assigned readings via this blog one week before each lesson. Students need only refer to the SMU eLearn website for administrative information such as the Project Schedule and the Grade Book as well as to share project papers and presentation materials. Students will be expected to analyse legislative provisions and/or cases that are indicated as required reading for each week.

Free access to the local legislation and subsidiary legislation may be found at the Singapore Statutes Online website at: https://sso.agc.gov.sg.

Local cases are accessible through the Legal Workbench in Lawnet. The hyperlink can be found under the Law Databases column on the SMU Library’s Law Research Navigator at: http://researchguides.smu.edu.sg/LAW.

Other online secondary legal materials on Singapore law that you may find useful include Singapore Law Watch (http://www.singaporelawwatch.sg) and Singapore Law SG (https://www.singaporelawblog.sg).

There are also other secondary resources made available from the SMU Library when doing research for your projects such as the many other digital databases available from the LRN (e.g. Lexis, Westlaw and Hein online that are all available under the Law Databases column) and the books and periodicals that are available on the library shelves.

Gov. Sanders puts state agencies on notice regarding potential federal government shutdown

Talk Business & Politics staff

A federal government shutdown is looming as Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has been unable to comply with the demands of a few conservative members of his caucus who have vowed for months to shut the government down.

As the Sept. 30 deadline looms, out to agencies Thursday (Sept. 28) outlining steps the state will have to take to deal with the lack of federal workers and services.

Sanders criticized President Joe Biden for the potential shutdown, although the White House, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have already cobbled together a plan that’s being held up by a small minority of Republicans in the U.S. House.

“Should the Biden administration allow a shutdown to occur, cabinet secretaries will be responsible for determining which programs must be suspended and which employees will be furloughed based on the following criteria,” Sanders said.

Her memo included:

“If a program or employee has been identified by the federal government as being necessary to protect public health, safety, or welfare, and the federal government has provided documentation guaranteeing funding during the shutdown, the program and federally funded employment may continue uninterrupted by the shutdown.”

“If an agency has sufficient federal funding and authorization from current or previous federal grants to fund a program or position, it may do so as long as funding remains available.”

“Otherwise, programs and employment that are wholly or partially dependent on federal funding will be suspended because of the White House’s failure to work with Congress, effective Sunday, October 1st for the duration of the shutdown. The federal government will not allow us to make any exceptions unless the protection of public health, safety, and welfare would be compromised, as determined by the cabinet secretary in consultation with the Department of Finance and Administration and the Department of Transformation and Shared Services.”

U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, said the shutdown will be the fault of a small group of Trump-supporting lawmakers.

“And the interesting thing is that House Democrats are aligned with Senate Democrats, and we’re both aligned with Senate Republicans and all of us, with the exception of the extreme MAGA Republicans, are aligned qwith President Joe Biden and the administration in terms of keeping the government open so we can meet the needs of the American people. But we need the extreme MAGA Republicans to get their act together in the civil war that’s happening on the Republican side of the aisle that’s paralyzing Congress. Get your act together so we can handle the business of the American people and solve problems on their behalf,” Jeffries said in a statement.

Also today, Sanders released $4 million from the Governor’s Disaster Response and Recovery Fund to support disaster recovery efforts from the March 31st tornadoes. The money will be used at the discretion of the Director of the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management to defray both program and administrative costs, the governor said.

I still can't get over how much I adore 'Sacrfices Must Be Made,' Leshy, he is on a whole other level of theatrical villainy, and I love it.

He noticed this plane of people went down in his domain, but he didn't act or intervene. Instead, he watched and waited, when two survivors, a father and son duo emerged and stumbled out into the wilds. He watched them slowly begin to starve, being beaten down by the elements, their injury and the ever-dwindling hope, and yet never confronted them. If he had sent a pack of wolves or even his followers, it would be a quick death and, frankly a far more dignified one. But Leshy refused to give them that mercy!

Instead, Leshy stewed in his emotions, crafting a game to mock the only two survivors of the crash and hint at what will actually go down in that cabin. Once he was done with this, he then opened the path to lead them toward his cabin.

He WATCHED the player character making his way down with his son (WHO MAY I ADD, IS A CHILD DURING THIS, LESHY SAYS THERE IS NO AGE MINIMUM ON FATES WORSE THAN DEATH), saw the lies and tricks the player character would resort to to protect his son and try to escape, and just... remained quiet, only letting his true animosity slip with venomous jabs. I can't say he didn't give a fuck, because he really did, but he was just revolted by their very presence and audacity that not even the act of preservation and love could sway him. Instead, it only further fueled his anger.

Leshy gave them the false hope of, not salvation, but aid if they played along with his game, stomached his jeering and defeated him. He wasn't a way out, but he told them he would feed them and provide the supplies needed for their long and arduous trek back to humanity from his domain. And it was for this reason that the player character stomached doing whatever the hell he demanded. Cutting away teeth, hands, their own eye, to protect himself and his son.

AND LESHY TECHNICALLY WASN'T LYING, he can admit when he'd been bested, and he'd feed them alright, just as he promised. But his promises had been made under false pretenses (WHICH HE KNEW IN THE FIRST PLACE, MAY I REMIND YOU). He had agreed to feed one survivor and he would, by butchering the other and forcing the remaining father or son to eat their remains.

BUT ITS WORSE, because after he forces you to make the decision of who you are going to sacrifice to eat. He just... kicks you out, back into the forest with the spoils of your efforts. Your dead father or child, depending on who you chose to sacrifice and leaves you, again for dead. But Bun! I hear you say, there is a chance they managed to survive now that they had food and energy to try and escape the forest! And while, technically, you may be correct on paper.

Truth is, the game was rigged, and there is little to no chance anyone could make it out of that scenario.

The meat he gave you from your butchered family member wouldn't be digestible for either of the survivor characters due to protein poisoning, or fat starvation. So if they did scarf it down, they couldn't make any use of it, and it would eat away more at their remaining energy and cause pain rather than fill that hole.

Secondly, in either case of the son remaining or the father remaining, the son is far too young and weak (not insultingly but just physically exhausted and injured) to hope to walk for the hundreds of miles back to civilization. Even in that circumstance, they wouldn't know how to get themself water, make shelter, avoid predators, or anything. They'd be scared, alone, cold, DISTRAUGHT, and injured beyond words. Just, unsurvivable.

And the father likely lost a LOT of blood and several appendages. From a pure canon standpoint, Leshy takes his eye if nothing more, so on top of starving, the protein poisoning, grief and blood loss, they would also have to adjust to the many changes in depth perception and sight while praying to survive. Making any chance of escape not only nil but not hopeful. Because even if you do escape, the weight of everything that just happened will follow them far beyond the tree line!

I just GOD I LOVE HOW HOPELESS AND EVIL IT IS, this in mind, it's honestly no wonder why Fiadh turned out like she did

#cw cannibalism #tw cannibalism #tw death mention #JUST ME GUSHING ABOUT LESHY #hes the worst and i will die for him

Editor's Note: This piece is part of a series titled "Nonstate armed actors and illicit economies in 2023" from Brookings's Initiative on Nonstate Armed Actors.

In 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration strengthened U.S. policy to counter the dangers of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. This year, the United States must urgently begin to translate this framework into robust action around the world. To this end, Washington should prioritize establishing anti-IUU partnerships with countries in Latin America and Africa. The existing U.S.-led anti-IUU and Quad partnerships in the Indo-Pacific can serve as important models.

The Threats Posed by Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing

Beyond food and economic security and environmental impacts, new geopolitical and conflict threats associated with IUU fishing have emerged. In the fall, reports came out about an interaction during which a U.S. Coast Guard cutter encountered a Chinese fishing fleet off the coast of Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands while patrolling for IUU fishing. When the Coast Guard attempted to board several of the ships to ensure they were following internationally accepted fishing practices, the Chinese vessels sped away with one turning aggressively toward the Coast Guard cutter, requiring the U.S. boat to take evasive action to avoid being rammed. This dangerous interaction was a hazardous deviation from international maritime protocol. Ultimately, the Coast Guard found possible violations on two of the vessels it was able to board and referred the matter to the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization, which includes China.

While China is not the sole perpetrator of global IUU fishing, it is increasingly becoming a major one. With dwindling fish stocks near its own shores, Chinese distant water fleets are fishing thousands of miles away from the Chinese mainland and using large processor/transport vessels to get their catch back to China. Estimates put the Chinese distant water fishing fleet at around 3,000 vessels, with nearly 500 fishing in the South Pacific, sometimes for months at a time. Of course, not all of what distant water Chinese fishing vessels are doing is illegal. Outwardly, China says it does not support IUU fishing and it has shown the ability to address specific issues when presented with overwhelming evidence of violations. However, it remains to be seen how much China will clamp down and proactively work on IUU fishing issues to ensure long-term viability of global fish stocks.

The Biden Administration’s Policy Framework

The past year saw the Biden administration put renewed emphasis on IUU fishing. In February, the White House released the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States. While IUU fishing was not a major theme, the strategy does recommend improving the Pacific Islands’ resilience and maritime security to safeguard fisheries. There was a clear focus on building partnerships in the region, increasing resilience, and supporting a rules-based order, which all tie back to the IUU fishing threat. However, with more than half the world’s population and 65% of its oceans in the Indo-Pacific region, it seemed odd that the strategy did not focus more on protecting and managing one of the region’s largest food sources and potential for significant civil unrest.

In June, the White House did offer a much more targeted and geographically unrestrained approach on IUU fishing when it released its Memorandum on Combating Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing and Associated Labor Abuses. This document put significant emphasis on the IUU threat from two dimensions: forced labor and human trafficking, and overfishing and fisheries collapse. The IUU memorandum directed multiple U.S. government departments and agencies to use a wide array of tools to address the problem. These included coordination with various foreign governments, the World Trade Organization, the European Union, and the G-7, to set tighter controls on fisheries management and to use bilateral maritime law enforcement agreements to enforce existing and future regulations.

Following Biden’s visit to Japan in May 2022, where he met with leaders of the Quad, the White House released a fact sheet recapping the Tokyo summit. This document focused on improving maritime domain awareness (MDA) between the Quad members by harnessing commercially available data, sharing more information, and pursuing future technologies. One of the goals of improved MDA is to protect fisheries essential to providing food security and income to people living across the Indo-Pacific region.

Improved MDA is critical to addressing the IUU fishing threat. Most countries have limited capability to see what is happening on the ocean’s surface more than several miles from their shores unless they have expensive aircraft or surface assets. Even then, such technology is only marginally helpful given the sheer size of the vast Indo-Pacific region. Leveraging increasingly less expensive space-based surveillance and better data sharing could greatly aid in MDA and subsequent surface action, helping countries to address the IUU threat and better manage their fish stocks.

Finally, the National Security Strategy in October discussed food insecurity as a major challenge, although not caused specifically by IUU fishing. The National Security Strategy did however mention illegal fishing as one of the challenges posed by transnational criminal organizations.

What Actions Need to be Taken in 2023 and Beyond

In 2023, the policy framework must be translated into increased and tangible action. With determined and focused U.S. leadership, regional partnerships need to double their efforts to address the problem. A more robust Quad IUU partnership in the Indo-Pacific is a good start, although there is much more that can and should be done. Building new, robust anti-IUU fishing partnerships in South America and Africa is urgent.

At the heart of the IUU fishing issue is the potential for millions of people to lose their primary source of food due to the collapse of global fish stocks. Many of these people live in developing countries. If this alone wasn’t significant enough, IUU fishing connects to forced labor, unsafe labor practices, social unrest, and contributes to transnational crime. As marine life knows no borders and IUU fishing perpetrators are highly mobile, often exploiting the vastness of the world’s oceans, this is truly a global problem. Firm commitment to enhanced partnerships, decisive leadership in supporting countries with limited resources, and dedicated response through enforcement action must be forthcoming to turn the tide on IUU fishing and sustain global fisheries. 2022 was the year of showing this through policy. 2023 needs to be the year of showing this through action.

EPA Finalizes Environmental Justice Action Plan for Land Protection and Cleanup Programs

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 - 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa, KS 66219

Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations

Contact Information: EPA Press Office ([email protected])

LENEXA, KAN. (SEPT. 30, 2022) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Land and Emergency Management announced it has finalized the agency’s “EJ Action Plan: Building Up Environmental Justice in EPA’s Land Protection and Cleanup Programs” (EJ Action Plan). The plan highlights projects, tools, and practices to be applied to the Superfund, Brownfields, Emergency Response, Solid Waste Management, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action, and Underground Storage Tank programs. The plan aligns with President Biden’s commitment to elevate environmental justice to the highest levels of the federal government and advances the agency’s commitment to delivering justice and equity for all.

Last week, EPA announced the creation of the new Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights to uphold this commitment. The Office of Land and Emergency Management will work with this new office to ensure that the relevant actions described in the EJ Action Plan adhere to the agency’s priority that entities receiving any federal financial assistance from EPA comply with the federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, sex and age.

“From day one, I pledged that the perspectives of underserved and overburdened communities across the country would be at the forefront of EPA’s decision-making.” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “EPA’s EJ Action Plan reflects the voices of communities who’ve historically been left behind and will enable stronger and faster progress in addressing contaminated land across the country.”

The historic $3.5 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments will significantly enhance implementation of the plan, including the first wave of $1 billion to initiate cleanup and clear the backlog of 49 previously unfunded Superfund sites and accelerate cleanup at dozens of other sites across the country.

When finalizing the EJ Action Plan, EPA incorporated feedback from various stakeholders, including Tribal partners. EPA heard a strong interest in having a larger role in our decision-making when it comes to the Superfund cleanup process, with the goal of improving EPA’s understanding of foundational values. EPA also received input regarding the eligibility requirements for entities and/or projects to receive new Infrastructure Grants, and the Recycling Education and Outreach Grants being funded by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The EJ Action Plan is a working document and EPA will be reporting on progress as part of a whole-of-government and EPA-wide effort to address the nation’s environmental justice challenges, in-line with the priorities identified by President Biden and EPA Administrator Regan.

The plan includes four main goals:

Strengthening compliance with cornerstone environmental statutes: This includes developing a “Good Governance” process and referral list to help address follow-up actions on communities’ environmental concerns.

Incorporating environmental justice considerations during the regulatory development process: This includes assessing impacts to pollution-burdened, underserved, and tribal communities when developing Office of Land and Emergency Management regulations, while developing tools to identify, track, and consider the implications of potential environmental justice-related factors throughout the Superfund process.

Improving community engagement in rulemakings, permitting decisions, and policies: This includes providing earlier and more frequent engagement with pollution-burdened and underserved communities in carrying out Office of Land and Emergency Management programs, and increasing technical support and risk communication resources for communities through the Agency’s Technical Assistance Services for Communities program and various grants.

Implementing President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative: This includes providing direct and indirect benefits to underserved communities with grant application resources and in making grant award decisions, to the extent allowed by law.

The EJ Action Plan also complements the recommendations for integrating environmental justice into the cleanup and redevelopment of Superfund and other contaminated sites highlighted in the May 2021 National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) report titled “Superfund Remediation and Redevelopment for Environmental Justice Communities.” The agency appreciates and supports the NEJAC’s overall goal to continue to address barriers, develop solutions, and recommend best practices for improving EPA’s ability to expedite Superfund cleanups. EPA also embraces the need for better outcomes in communities where there are unique burdens and vulnerabilities for populations living in and around Superfund sites.

Background

In 2021, President Biden issued two executive orders – Executive Order 13985 (Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government) and Executive Order 14008 (Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad) – that directed federal agencies to promote and work toward proactively achieving environmental justice. Federal agencies were directed to develop and implement policies and strategies that strengthen compliance and enforcement, incorporate environmental justice considerations in their work, increase community engagement, and ensure that at least 40 percent of the benefits from federal investments in climate and clean energy flow to underserved communities.

This EJ Action Plan builds on the best lessons in existing and new cleanup programs, incorporates public input on those programs, and works toward the implementation of projects and practices to achieve EPA’s environmental justice goals. Using new recommendations along with years of cleanup experiences, success stories, and lessons learned from working toward environmental justice, the agency is committed to new approaches and investments of time, staffing and funding that will improve quality of cleanups in communities with environmental justice concerns.

“Winnipeg’s Canadian War Disability Pensioners’ Association (CWDPA) formed in December 1932 in the wake of the relief cut. With 7,446 pensioners in Manitoba and 1,169 in the provincial capital, by May 1933 the CWDPA boasted 800 Winnipeg members. The CWDPA facilitated the creation of and affiliated with pensioner bodies in other urban centres—by 1937, their combined membership totalled 22,000 out of approximately 80,000 Canadian pensioners. Whereas the Legion’s motto, coined by Canadian Corps Commander, Lieutenant-General Arthur Currie, stressed the honour of continued service—“They served till deat —why not we?”—Canada’s pensioner associations adopted the Three Musketeers’ slogan of solidarity—“all for one, and one for all.” As Craig Heron has suggested, it was “comradeship,” the common cause of protecting their rights, and “a belief in collectivist social responsibility and a challenge to any vested interests that threatened the common good,” that brought veterans, like those within the CWDPA, together.

The CWDPA’s political activity revolved around Deer Lodge Hospital. Military hospitals are the “locus classicus of the disabled veteran’s identity,” according to international historian David A. Gerber. It was within these rehabilitative institutions that disabled veterans “developed intense interpersonal relationships,” and formed “self-conscious groups” and “formal organizations.” The “disparity between rehabilitation propaganda and the reality of disability,” provided the backdrop for individual acts of resistance in US institutions, reveals Ana Carden-Coyne; “neither grateful nor compliant,” many US and Canadian disabled veterans rejected the coercive, authoritarian, and infantilizing aspects of military hospitals. Beneath the dominant portrayal of harmony between medical staff and disabled veterans there seethed an animosity and rebuke of the efficacy and promise of rehabilitation.

One of eight Canadian veterans’ hospitals, Deer Lodge was also the DPNH’s administrative centre in Manitoba. Formerly a hotel, the lodge was managed by Major John Payson Oliver, a civil engineer and military officer. Located in Silver Heights, St. James municipality, six kilometres west of downtown Winnipeg on Portage Avenue, the three-storey, Tudor-revival lodge resembled a bucolic English inn, with latticed windows, exposed beams, and a wraparound verandah. The building was surrounded by landscaped gardens, stately oaks and maples, and overlooked the Assiniboine River. During the 1930s the Lodge typically housed up to 150 veterans and admitted an average of 1,074 patients a year. Pensioners convalesced, sought medical aid, collected their pensions and relief, and died at Deer Lodge. The CWDPA recruited patients to the association and regularly gathered in lodge halls. As in the US, the CWDPA’s emergence within Deer Lodge was a collective manifestation of disabled veterans’ indictment on the limits of the modern science of rehabilitation and its welfare apparatus; government interventions had not helped all war survivors to “move on.”

Samuel Sykes, CWDPA president from 1933 to 1937, was no stranger to Deer Lodge. A carpenter by trade, Sykes enlisted in February 1916. At Vimy Ridge, a piece of shrapnel entered behind Sykes left ear, broke his upper jaw and exited below his right eye. For 17 months, Sykes ate food through a straw. During his recovery at Deer Lodge, Sykes survived influenza; his wife and two-year-old daughter did not. Radicalized by his hospitalization, family tragedy, and the postwar depression, Sykes emerged as a One Big Union (OBU) radical. As a labour activist, Sykes organized barbers, retail clerks, and meat packers, and represented streetcar employees Sykes’s antiwar and socialist leanings coloured CWDPA initiatives. At a 1925 Armistice gathering, Sykes “drew a vivid picture of conditions … on the battlefields.” And for what?, Sykes asked. A country full of “half-starved widows and children?” Cenotaphs, charged Sykes, only “cover up the treachery of the capitalist system.” That same year, representing Winnipeg’s unemployed at city hall, Sykes blamed poverty on the exploitation of the “master class.” “Why don’t you go to Russia where you haven’t got capitalism?,” interrupted a city councillor. In a socialist subversion of Anglo-Canadian nationalism, Sykes retorted, “Because I speak English and don’t come from Russia.” Sykes jumped ship from the OBU to the CWDPA after the union became embroiled in controversy for promoting an illegal newspaper sweepstakes. Within the CWDPA, socialist “Commandant” Sykes found that a violated moral economy offered a gateway to veteran radicalism. Sykes belongs in the ever-widening pantheon of interwar leftists who do not fit neatly into the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) versus Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) paradigm.

Although more militant than the Legion or the right-leaning Army and Navy Veterans, pensioner associations competed with the Communist Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League (WESL). WESL’s as many as 40,000 members nationwide acted as a bulwark against Legionnaire anti-Red and anti-labour vigilantism and insisted on the indivisibility of all workers, regardless of war service. With WESL’s first chapter, and eventually its national headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba’s capital was a hotbed of radical veterans’ politics. Where WESL’s leadership raised “a radical awareness of capitalist exploitation and a commitment to revolutionary transformation” among working-class veterans, the CWDPA also nudged war survivors to spurn “bourgeois leadership” and move beyond the “quiescent loyalty” demanded by the Legion and the Canadian state.

Invading their turf, Sykes and the CWDPA faced Communist scorn as the CPC fitfully emerged from its sectarian “Third Period,” wherein it lambasted other leftists as enemies of the revolutionary movement. Some CWDPA members, like Captain William Talbot, returned arrows in anti-Red harangues despite sharing many of WESL’s immediate objectives. In 1933, as the CPC tempered its isolationism with tepid calls for a “united front,” the CWDPA and WESL formed an alliance in the short-lived United Council of Veterans.

With Sykes as the chair, the United Council demanded the restoration of the 1932 pension rates, an overhaul of pension administration, free medical attention, 100% pension rate allowances for “burnt-out” veterans and those over 50 years old, and federal relief for all unemployed ex-soldiers. The United Council moved that all relief and pensions be paid from “government military appropriations and the interest on war debts.” Leo Carson, one-time CWDPA vice president, was one of the association’s more outspoken Communist supporters. Seeing “no reason why one who has served his country should come back to Canada the land of plenty and starve,” Carson, a Great War conscript, was among the leftists injured during the June 1934 battle in Winnipeg’s market square against local fascists

On the eve of the Deer Lodge siege, the CWDPA extended their “moral and sympathetic” support to the communist-led On-to-Ottawa trek. In turn, Vancouver’s WESL branches sent letters of solidarity to the Deer Lodge occupiers. This was hardly a surprise as they frequently targeted the Vancouver Shaughnessy Veterans’ Hospital as a site of protest. Communism, in the minds of many interlopers, was much more about tactics than a revolutionary endgame. Deer Lodge camper and ex-corporal Frank Skidmore, a victim of shell shock and a gunshot wound to his face, wrote to the Winnipeg Tribune to declare that it was high time veterans became “communistic” and stage “a mass protest from coast to coast.” Although clearly not run by Communists, on the ground and in the matter of immediate aims and strategy, the CWDPA shared much with Red-inclined Great War survivors

The CWDPA also aligned with the labour movement. Several directors were prominent union leaders. The association critiqued capitalists for excluding disabled veterans from the workforce, employing only able-bodied labourers to “satisfy … their struggle for markets and cash surpluses.” They also protested the misuse of pensioners’ labour by the state. In 1933, the association grieved the “exploitation” of unpaid convalescents who worked part time at Deer Lodge Hospital. These pensioners feared their relief would be cut off should they refuse. In other remonstrations, the association called for the dismissal of Deer Lodge administrators and for the Lodge to be placed under veterans’ democratic control.

The CWDPA’s progressive and inclusive mandate really shone in its interventions on public health and poverty. Throughout the 1930s, the CWDPA grieved the DPNH’s jurisdictional refusal to provide pensioners’ families with health care. Winnipeg granted free medical provisions for its relief recipients in 1934, but pensioners’ families were denied treatment. Ottawa refused to offer the same to veterans on relief. A CWDPA march to the Manitoba legislature in September 1934 calling for family medical treatment won sympathy from the province. The Winnipeg Free Press accused Ottawa of either “callous indifference or the inexcusable entanglements of red tape.”

In December 1934, tragedy struck. H. D. Brittain, former vice president of the CWDPA, lost his five-year-old son Billie to pneumonia. Ex-private Brittain, thrice wounded before a gas attack ended his four years of war service, had postponed a call to the doctor to seek treatment for Billie until he had received his $26 monthly pension. “Why should a war veteran have to ask for charity?” asked the unemployed calendar salesman. In an antiwar and anti-capitalist rebuke, the CWDPA, in its newspaper, The Pensioner, noted the government’s wartime ability to spend “millions of dollars for instruments of death and destruction” and on hospitals to “patch” them up to send them “back to the slaughter,” but it now “refuses to spend a nickel” for medical care for veterans’ children. If “resurrection were possible,” the dead in France would “cry aloud for vengeance at this betrayal of the things for which they fought and died.” Canada keeps its promises to the bondholders, but not, wrote the organization, to its veterans.”

Uncovering the Horizon: The Future of Construction in Pune

As Pune undergoes a remarkable transformation into a thriving metropolis, the civil construction industry emerges as a pivotal force driving this evolution. Through this enlightening blog, we delve into the promising future of civil construction in Pune, delving deep into the intricate dynamics between urbanization, technological advancements, and market trends.

The remarkable phenomenon of urbanization is dynamically transforming the majestic skylines of cities.

Pune's Urban Metamorphosis

Pune is embracing change with grace as urbanization plays a major role in the city's transformation. With a growing population and increasing migration, there is an unprecedented demand for flawless infrastructure. Creating surroundings that are sustainable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing while also accommodating an expanding community is a challenging issue for urban planners.

The Rise of Smart Cities

Pune has unquestionably made significant strides in its transformation into a smart city. Technology integration into urban design is becoming more and more necessary, not merely a fad. The fundamental foundation of urban living is about to change because of the revolutionary potential of smart infrastructure, which includes Internet of Things-driven solutions for effective waste management and traffic control. As such, civil construction must keep pace with these extraordinary developments to contribute significantly to the creation of an urban environment that is both technologically sophisticated and smoothly linked.

The profound transformation of the construction industry through revolutionary technological advancements.

The advent of BIM marks a significant turning point in the realm of construction, propelling us towards a new era of innovation and efficiency.

In civil construction, the introduction of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is bringing about a revolutionary period. Pune's architectural landscape is currently being subtly shaped by the application of state-of-the-art digital tools that offer a comprehensive view of a project's whole lifecycle. BIM synchronizes the many aspects of the construction process, promoting improved cooperation and accelerating mistake reduction, from the early phases of conception and strategy to the smooth execution and ongoing maintenance. The extensive use of BIM is about to become the de facto standard, bringing a revolutionary change to the construction industry and making it extremely accurate and efficient.

In the modern era, putting sustainable construction practices into practice is not only important, but also necessary.

Pune is embracing sustainable construction principles more fervently in response to environmental issues. Energy-efficient designs, the use of environmentally friendly materials, and green building practices have become essential requirements rather than just nice-to-haves. The civil construction sector in Pune is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainable growth, with a particular emphasis on the crucial responsibility of reducing the environmental impact of major projects.

Market Trends and Economic Dynamics

Economic Growth and Construction Boom

Pune's robust economy acts as a trigger for the notable uptick in construction activity. A growing demand for both commercial and residential spaces is being driven by the success of numerous businesses and the real estate market. On the other hand, the civil construction industry has both special opportunities and challenges as a result of this increase in demand. Protecting the long-term viability and adaptability of the construction sector requires us to carefully balance our economic goals with the demands of sustainable development.

Digital Transformation in Project Management

The field of project management in civil construction is changing thanks to the rise of digital platforms. These digital tools are increasing workflow efficiency and project effectiveness by optimizing resource allocation and project scheduling. Construction companies in Pune are now able to navigate complex projects with unmatched agility and precision because of the combination of cloud-based collaboration and real-time data analytics.

Challenges on the Horizon

Infrastructure Strain and Urban Planning Dilemmas

We have a chance to solve the urgent problem of infrastructure strain because of the current upsurge in construction activities. Pune is growing at a swift pace, thus we need to face the challenges of urban planning and create a balance between development and preservation. All parties involved in civil construction must work together to find creative solutions to problems like water scarcity, effective waste disposal, and traffic congestion.

Skilled Labor Shortage

Despite the construction boom, Pune faces a shortage of skilled labor. Bridging this gap requires concerted efforts in vocational training and upskilling programs. The future of civil construction in Pune hinges on nurturing a skilled workforce equipped to handle the demands of technologically advanced and sustainable construction practices.

Conclusion

The future of civil construction in Pune rests on the ability to seamlessly integrate innovation, sustainability, and adaptation within the complex urban expansion of the city. Pune's civil construction industry needs to adapt to the changing times and rise above the high pace of urbanization and technological improvements. Being leaders in this industry, Janvi Developers is prepared to meet the difficulties and seize the new chances that lie ahead. Our combined efforts will determine the resilience and durability of the city's urban infrastructure in addition to defining its skyline.

Exclusive: "The Anti-Boycott Bill Would Restrict Civil Liberties..."

— ICPJ Director Tayab Ali | IslamChannel.Tv

Michael Gove

Credit must be given to Michael Gove for his exceptional ability to achieve unity. He’s managed to draw together an unlikely cross-section of nearly seventy civil society groups including groups focused on Palestine, Western Sahara, the Uyghurs, pacifism, climate change, religion and even a trade union for bakers. However, it’s slightly less impressive to unify so many groups against you.

And with good reason. With his proposed Anti-boycott Bill, he is on a warpath to undermine local democracy, gag freedom of expression and grant Israel permanent impunity for its international crimes.

The bill, which is now going to Committee Stage, would ban public bodies from making procurement and investment decisions that “are influenced by political or moral disapproval” of foreign states. In practice, this would stop public bodies from spending and investing ethically, preventing them from upholding the values that are enshrined in our democracy.

If passed, the proposed legislation would affect local councils, cultural institutions and universities. The far-reaching bill would impact many areas, but it specifically targets the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to hold Israel accountable for its gross human rights violations.

Cabinet Ministers will have the power to exempt countries from boycotts under the bill based on foreign policy considerations. However, Israel is singled out as the only country that can never be exempted.

This is particularly absurd given the extremism of the new Israeli government. Only six months into their term, government ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich have boasted about killing 120 Palestinians and wanting to ‘wipe out’ Palestinian villages.

One particularly ominous section, known as the ‘gagging clause’, would prevent employees working in procurement for public bodies from being

allowed to voice their opinions on boycotts. Astoundingly, employees wouldn’t even be able to say that they would hypothetically support boycotts if they were legal.

This attack on individuals isn’t just about policy; it is a genuinely nasty bill, designed to foster a culture of fear and silence to create a chilling effect. It shows this government’s contempt for grassroots movements and the underhand tactics they’re willing to deploy.

This gagging clause blatantly violates people’s rights to freedom of expression and freedom of thought and conscience, both of which are protected under the Human Rights Act 1998.

If this bill passes and public bodies abide by it, they’ll be at risk of violating their obligations under international law, domestic policy on business and human rights and possibly even aiding and abetting war crimes.

There is also a glaringly obvious irony here. Critics of the BDS movement, including the government, always argue that it is unfair to single out Israel when there are plenty of other examples of countries with ill-doings.

Of course, ‘singling out’ is precisely what the government is doing with this bill. It uniquely identifies Israel as the only country worthy of everlasting impunity. What exactly makes Israel so special that it should be permanently shielded from boycotts?

This exceptionalism implies two things. Firstly, it suggests that Israel’s current crimes, abhorrent as they are and have been for the last fifty-six years, aren’t ‘bad enough’ to justify boycotts. This is despite reports from successive UN Special Rapporteurs, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, concluding that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid.

We’ve been here before. The anti-apartheid boycotts of the 1980s were integral to bringing down South Africa’s apartheid regime and the same tools are crucial in this fight against apartheid too.

Secondly, it implies that the government seems to think that it has a crystal ball. It doesn’t matter what has happened, what is happening or what will happen in the future- if this bill passes, Israel will always be protected from boycotts. Even since this bill was introduced last Summer, so much has changed. Israel can’t be given a permanent carte blanche.

The only thing impunity will achieve is increasing the power imbalance that already exists between Israel and Palestine, so it will simply make Israel even less likely to engage in a peace settlement. The government says this will help community cohesion, but even Conservative MPs worry it will do the exact opposite. It’s just going to drive an even deeper wedge between communities.

The other astonishing thing about the section that singles out Israel refers to ‘Israel’, ‘the occupied Palestinian territories’ and the ‘Golan Heights’. This essentially treats Israel and the territories it illegally occupies in the same way.

This is a surreptitious, yet unprecedented shift from a position the Foreign Office has held for decades to one which blurs the boundaries between Israel and the territories it openly seeks to annex. It is also irreconcilable with United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2334, which refers to Israeli settlements as a ‘flagrant violation’ of international law.

It really makes you wonder how the Foreign Office ever agreed to go along with Gove on this. The short answer is: it didn’t. It’s now emerged that Foreign Office lawyers advised that the bill could undermine UNSCR 2334, despite Gove saying the government was unanimously in agreement. The government itself can’t even agree on this bill being a good idea, let alone parliament and let alone the actual population.

For UK foreign policy, this is a worrying, creeping normalisation of violent dispossession. For British civil society, this is another dark step away from freedoms we once took as a given. For Palestinian solidarity, this takes scissors to one of the few threads of support that connects us to Palestinians enduring occupation. This bill must be stopped.

Tayab Ali is a partner and Head of International Law at Bindmans LLP and Director of the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians.

Kenneth Haskin | City Leaders Unplugged- The Realities of Managing Urban Landscapes

In the rich and varied fabric of human society, cities emerge as vibrant knots of culture, economy, and ambition. They are the pulsating hearts of civilization, teeming with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, reflecting the collective dreams of their inhabitants. Beneath the mesmerizing skyline and the dynamic streets, a complex web of challenges and opportunities unfurls, managed with delicate precision by city leaders. These leaders, however, do more than just perform administrative tasks.

They delve into the heart of their communities, grappling with complex realities that shape the urban experience, touching every aspect of city life from socio-economic development to public safety, infrastructure to community engagement. One such leader poised to navigate this intricate terrain is the newly appointed Kenneth Haskin City Manager. This document aims to introduce Haskin, a seasoned city administrator with a wealth of experience in economic development and upper-level management for local municipalities.

Managing an urban landscape isn't just about erecting towering structures or paving roads; it's about fostering a delicate balance between progress and preservation. It's a perpetual juggling act, harmonizing the needs of diverse populations while ensuring sustainability, inclusivity, and economic vitality. The weight of this responsibility rests on the shoulders of city leaders who must navigate the nuanced terrain of policy, infrastructure, and public sentiment.

At the core of urban management lies the challenge of sustainable development. The allure of progress often clashes with the imperative to conserve resources and protect the environment. City leaders are tasked with orchestrating this delicate dance, promoting economic growth while embracing sustainable practices. Initiatives like green spaces, renewable energy integration, and eco-friendly infrastructure are not mere choices but imperative steps toward ensuring a livable future for generations to come.

However, the canvas of a city isn't painted solely with bricks and mortar; it's a canvas where social dynamics intertwine. Inclusivity is the cornerstone of a thriving urban landscape. City leaders grapple with the intricate tapestry of diverse communities, striving to create spaces where every voice is heard, and every individual is represented. From affordable housing to equitable access to resources and opportunities, inclusivity is both a moral imperative and a strategic necessity. Kenny Haskin City Manager

The critical role of transportation in city life cannot be overstated. It serves as a pivotal axis, much like a spine, around which the entire urban tapestry is woven. The intricate network of roads, rails, and pathways dictate the everyday rhythm and flow of the city's inhabitants, shaping their experiences and interactions. City leaders like Kenneth Haskin City Manager of Cape Girardeau, are confronted with the complex and daunting task of refining these transportation systems. Their objective: to alleviate traffic congestion, curtail harmful emissions, and enhance accessibility for all residents.

Innovative solutions are imperative to achieving these goals. A well-planned, robust public transit system, for example, can serve as the lifeblood of a city, pumping vitality into its every corner. Embracing technology, such as smart infrastructure, can help city leaders like Haskin to anticipate and address urban challenges proactively. Through these approaches, Kenneth Haskin City Manager and his team are steering Cape Girardeau towards a future that is not only efficient and sustainable but also resonates with the aspirations of its residents.

Yet, in this landscape of innovation and progress, the specter of inequality looms large. Disparities in access to education, healthcare, and employment fracture the social fabric of cities. City leaders shoulder the responsibility of bridging these gaps, devising policies that empower marginalized communities and offer pathways to prosperity. The pursuit of equity isn't just a moral duty; it's an investment in a more cohesive and resilient society.

Amidst the awe-inspiring growth and grandeur of urban development, the specter of potential disasters—both natural and human-induced—casts a long shadow on cities worldwide. These potential calamities, ranging from earthquakes and floods to civil unrest and infrastructure failures, pose profound existential threats to the very fabric of urban societies. Kenneth Haskin City Manager of Cape Girardeau is uniquely positioned at the frontline of these challenges. His role involves devising comprehensive disaster management strategies designed to fortify city infrastructure and fostering resilience among the community.

In the era of climate change, these challenges are further exacerbated, underscoring the urgency for proactive measures and forward-thinking solutions to safeguard cities against evolving threats. Kenneth Haskin City Manager, with his rich experience in city administration, understands the need for such preemptive approaches and is committed to ensuring that Cape Girardeau, under his stewardship, is well-prepared to face and overcome any such adversities in the future.

Political landscapes add another layer of complexity to the tapestry of urban management. The intricate interplay between local, regional, and national governance shapes policies and priorities. City leaders navigate this labyrinth, forging alliances, and negotiating with multiple stakeholders to steer the city toward a common vision. The art of diplomacy and consensus-building becomes as crucial as visionary leadership in driving progress.

However, the most formidable challenge for city leaders might lie in the intangible realm—the pulse of public sentiment. The aspirations, fears, and aspirations of the citizens shape the trajectory of urban development. City leaders must not only govern but also empathize, listening intently to the heartbeat of their communities. Communication and transparency become the bedrock of trust, essential for garnering support for transformative initiatives.

In the labyrinth of urban management, there are no easy paths, no one-size-fits-all solutions. Each city is a unique mosaic, shaped by its history, culture, and aspirations. City leaders are not just administrators; they are visionaries, architects of the future, entrusted with the profound task of shaping the soul of their cities.

The reality of managing urban landscapes isn't confined to boardrooms and policy chambers; it resonates in the lives of every inhabitant. It's about turning aspirations into actions, dreams into tangible realities that enrich the lives of millions. The challenges are formidable, the stakes are high, but within the labyrinth of complexities lie the seeds of transformative change and the promise of vibrant, thriving cities.
