A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties which make the defense of our nation worthwhile. -Earl Warren, jurist (19 Mar 1891-1974)

NGO-#Bericht: #Italien untergräbt gezielt die #Demokratie: #Italien sei ein klares Beispiel für eine „demokratische Rezession“. Diese Einschätzung geht aus dem #Bericht der Bürgerrechtsorganisation Civil #Liberties Union for Europe hervor, die der italienischen #Regierung Untergrabung von Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Angriffe auf die #Medienfreiheit vorwirft.  https://www.euractiv.de/section/europa-kompakt/news/ngo-bericht-italien-untergraebt-gezielt-die-demokratie/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." https://humanrightsact.org.uk/

Are we Americans proud of ourselves? I don’t think so. “The United States was added Sunday to the #CIVICUS Monitor #Watchlist, a research tool that publicizes the status of #freedoms and #threats to #civil #liberties worldwide. https://time.com/7266334/us-human-rights-watchlist-civil-liberties/
