The "snapback" of U.N. sanctions on Iran sends Western powers back to the drawing board on how to contain and monitor Iran's nuclear program. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/28/world/politics/iran-snapback-nuclear-program/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #iran #nuclearweapons #us #iaea #israel #irannucleardeal #france #britain #germany #donaldtrump
The UN cannot fulfill its mission while a state waging a war of aggression holds an unlawful veto over its decisions.
The permanent seat was created for the USSR, which ceased to exist in 1991 – Russia simply occupied it by changing a nameplate, without any legal procedure. Nowhere in the #UN Charter is Russia listed as a permanent member, and to this day, that seat remains reserved for the non-existent Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
This contradiction undermines the UN’s credibility and blocks action to protect peace. It is absurd that those responsible for killing, sexual abuse, and abducting children occupy a seat entrusted with maintaining global security.
Russia’s Expulsion from UN An Urgent Necessity.

Au Royaume-Uni, l’extrême droite réussit une mobilisation historique
La manifestation «Unite the Kindgom», à l’appel de la figure d’#ExtrêmeDroite Tommy Robinson, a rassemblé plus de 100 000 personnes à Londres. D’autres figures européennes sont intervenues, dont l’ex-candidat à la présidentielle Éric Zemmour.
🇬🇧‘Counter-protesters in Russell Square held placards reading "Refugees welcome" and "Oppose Tommy Robinson," while chanting: "Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here."

You know #Britain has truly become a dystopian and authoritarian state when British Police are not only policing the free speech of its citizens but also public artwork as #UK attempts to silence any opposition to the #genocide being systematically carried out by #Israel while #UKPol complicity in these war crimes and crimes against humanity is destroying this once great Britain.
The #Banksy artwork features a judge wielding a gavel over a protester on the ground holding a blood-splattered placard.

#Starmer & #Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn, but they do nothing. All the #war criminals must face #justice.

Jimmy Lai’s house in Kyoto once gave him refuge. The trial of the 77-year-old Hong Kong-based publisher now stands as a test of whether Japan will defend democratic values in its own region. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/21/world/press-freedom-china-jimmy-lai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews#jimmylai #hongkong #china #britain #chinesecommunistparty #democracy#tadashiyanai
