blinne ní ghrálaigh’s speech and the icj hearings in israel’s occupation of palestinian territories case

a fragment:

>> Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, the counsel for the Palestinian state, described Israel’s actions as “antithetical to a peace-loving state”. She said the restrictions on “the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, [Israel’s] attacks on the United Nations and on UN officials, property and premises, its deliberate obstruction of the organisation’s work and its attempt to destroy an entire UN subsidiary organ” were “unprecedented in the history of the organisation”.<< (The Guardian, here, 28 Apr, 2025)

🚨 The EU-Singapore #DigitalTradeAgreement may pose risks to our #FundamentalRights because of prohibitions on access to source code and data flows– we sounded the alarm together with @beuc and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).

🫱🏾‍🫲🏻 Trade deals build bridges but they must do so while protecting people's rights.

Watch the video and read our statement to find out why we're concerned ⤵️

Joint push from consumer, worker and digital rights groups on EU-Singapore digital trade risks

As discussions on the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement (DTA) continue, BEUC has teamed up with ETUC (European Trade Union Confederation), and EDRi (European Digital Rights) shed a light on the potential privacy risks the agreement poses to consumer rights, workers’ protections, and broader fundamental rights.

✅ The Commission's decision makes the power of EU's digital rulebook clear

❌ The low fines may not be enough to get #BigTech companies like Meta and Apple to change

❓The Commission decision declared Meta's binary hashtag#PayOrOkay model unlawful, but did not give a final decision on the so-called 'third alternative' with 'less personalised ads'

It's great to see the #DMA in action, protecting our #FundamentalRights from tech corporations' voracious, profit-driven motives 🤩

Yesterday, the European Commission slammed tech giants #Meta and #Apple for breaching the #DigitalMarketsAct #DMA – but then stopped short of sticking the landing with the low penalties. What does it mean for our #FundamentalRights and online experiences? 🤔

We unpack the mixed bag of takeaways in our full press release ⤵️ https://edri.org/our-work/press-release-commission-slams-apple-and-meta-for-breaching-the-digital-markets/

Commission slams Apple and Meta for breaching the Digital Markets Act, doesn’t stick the landing with fines - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The European Commission has shown some teeth with the EU’s digital rulebook by slamming tech giants Apple and Meta with admittedly low fines for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

🚨 The European Commission must act now to defend #FundamentalRights from Hungary's #PrideBan and the use of #FacialRecognition against protestors 🚨

✊🏾 EDRi, in a coalition of 24 CSOs, is calling on the Commission to ensure that the #HumanRights of #LGBTQIA+ people in #Hungary and beyond are protected. The organisers and people marching at hashtag#Pride in Budapest should be able to safely and peacefully assemble and protest 🏳️‍🌈

Shaping technology development with legal frameworks

The new episode of the NewIn series presents Boris Paal, Professor of Law and Regulation of the Digital Transformation.

"WITNESS expresses concern regarding the changes in the EU AI Act’s third draft of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice (CoP). These modifications aim to lessen the burden of applying the EU AI Act on General-Purpose AI (GPAI) model providers. This directly impacts transparency, risk assessments and copyright, and undermines fundamental rights. We also believe these changes negatively impact the information environment and the ability to detect the use of AI and ensure content authenticity. They prioritise reduced implementation over obligations towards more robust rights protections.
(...)
While one of the goals of the document is to provide a detailed framework for AI providers to ensure their models are safe, secure, and compliant with relevant regulations, we have concerns with a reduction of emphasis on some obligations now present in the latest version of the CoP, as well as a possible reduction in the scope of the systemic risks to be mitigated by GPAI providers."

Daniel Thym says he wants to interpret #FundamentalRights more loosely (in the courts) to prevent the right-wing opposition parties from turning against the judiciary. However, he forgets that you don’t counter hostility toward the judiciary by restricting the rights of minorities, instead, that only paves the way for greater discrimination against them. The right-wing rejects the rule of law either way. #migration
