• Is there a public list of the governmental & police entities that are your customers?

• Also, some clarification is needed what you mean by »We don’t sell to governments who are under investigation by the #UN for international atrocities«. Which organs or specialized agencies of the UN do you mean? You seem to be referring to the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, who doesn't investigate, but merely creates reports, within an early warning system.

• Also, you're saying »We don’t sell to organisations who are committing human rights abuses (i.e. abusive organisations within a government, even if the wider government itself isn’t in scope).« Who is performing that assessment, and according to which criteria? Which potential customers have been rejected so far, after this assessment?

• You're also saying »We don’t sell to governments with poor human rights, to avoid risk of harm to their population. This is currently defined as countries scoring 20 or less« in the Freedom House ranking. Among others, this allows e.g. #Qatar, #Algeria, #Turkey, #HongKong, #Serbia or #Israel to become your customers. Are they?

Without specifics, especially evidence, verifying that you abide by your policy becomes impossible, and it stays yet another text.

The atrocities unleashed on Sudan's El-Fasher last October were a "preventable human rights catastrophe," the U.N. human rights chief said Monday, warning they now risked being repeated in Kordofan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/10/world/politics/un-human-rights-sudan-el-fasher/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #un #humanrights #sudan

I can't stress this point enough: The so-called "international" financial system is a global financial dictatorship controlled by the US.

Deep Sea Mining:

Interesting interview with the UN official trying to agree some basic environmental rules for half the ocean floor.

She basically says a moratorium won’t happen as too many countries (like the USA) will go ahead anyway. What a species we are.
