The Court of Justice has found, for the first time, that a Member State (Hungary) is in breach of Article 2 TEU (values of the EU) as a standalone provision. curia.europa.eu/site/upload/...

Nathalie Bernasconi-Osterwalder of @iisd.org stresses that accelerating progress to 2030 must be based on levers as:

🔸Aligning incentives & phasing out harmful subsidies
🔸Use existing tools like public procurement
🔸Changing the definition and measurement of progress

Fossil fuel subsidies are never, ever the right answer. Quite the opposite.

Iran war: Trump says US to 'blockade' Strait of Hormuz, as Iran says it will not 'surrender' to threats The US president's comments come after delegations from Washington and Tehran failed to reach a deal following lengthy talks in Islamabad.

The continuous breaches of international law are staggering and this is yet another one.

Hungary election: Viktor Orbán ousted after 16 years in power as opposition heads for landslide - follow live The long-serving prime minister concedes defeat to Péter Magyar, who has promised closer EU ties and an anti-corruption drive.

Delighted about the news that the Hungarian people have said no to illiberal autocrats. Could Mr Trump please loudly endorse all far right and extreme right parties in Europe?

Iran chose 'not to accept our terms', Vance says after peace talks The US vice-president made the announcement after 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan.

This headline so accurately summarises the arrogant incompetence displayed by this US administration. We should now start in the words of Eisenhower judge our friends by the same standards as we judge our enemies. Only a return to international law will now help.

Warmest congratulations to all from @hugheshall.bsky.social who graduated @cam.ac.uk today. Very well done!

Sad news - hopefully many US lawyers will not forget the giants of international law that once walked in their midst…

Mr Rutte’s apparent failure to identify an illegal war and his sycophantic fawning for the main perpetrator disqualifies him entirely as NATO Secretary General. He should resign.

Do you want to know why #MC14 @wto.org failed? It was the enormous arrogance by this US Administration displayed towards other trade ministers in this multilateral institution. If you need evidence, please feel free to read this impetuous op-ed by the current USTR ustr.gov/about/policy...
