UN calls for return of Russia-abducted Ukrainian children in US-backed vote
The #US supported the resolution, while #Russia , #Belarus and #Iran have voted against it. Fifty-seven countries, including #China, #India and #Brazil, #abstained from voting.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, #Ukraine has identified over 19,500 #children who were illegally transferred to Russia, Belarus, or Russian-occupied territories. Fewer than 1,300 have been brought back.
"There will be no just #peace in Ukraine without the unconditional return of #UkrainianChildren. This resolution is not about politics. It is about humanity," Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa said at the U.N. General Assembly debate.

Russia declares #HumanRightsWatch an 'undesirable organization'
“Our work hasn’t changed, but what’s changed, dramatically, is the [Russian] government’s full-throttled embrace of #dictatorial policies, its staggering rise in #repression, and the scope of the #WarCrimes its forces are committing in #Ukraine,” said Philippe Bolopion, executive director at Human Rights Watch.
The designation under #Russia's controversial "undesirable organizations" law prohibits groups from operating within Russia and makes it a criminal offense for individuals to participate in their activities. The law has been widely criticized by #HumanRights advocates.

Russia declares Human Rights Watch an 'undesirable organization'
Russia’s Ministry of Justice has designated Human Rights Watch an “undesirable organization,” effectively banning the group from operating in the country, on Nov. 28.Sonya Bandouil (The Kyiv Independent)
The statement to which Parnas is referring above (/8) is "Statement of the “Former JAGs Working Group” on Media Reports of Pentagon 'No Quarter' Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes." This document is linked below. It says,
"The bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are
'patently illegal,' anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both."
"Trump claims these murderboat operations combat drug trafficking. That was always suspect. Not only are many of the people killed at most low-level shippers, but killing traffickers was less useful than capturing them.
And Trump’s promise to pardon former President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was a major drug trafficker, suggests Trump is not so much opposed to drug trafficking, he just wants a cut."

Murder - emptywheel
We don't know why Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly targeted two members of West Virginia's National Guard, just like we don't know the real reason Pete Hegseth keeps targeting boats for murder in the Caribbean.emptywheel
"Today, a group of former military lawyers concluded that Pete Hegseth has committed war crimes or murder, and that anyone who assisted in his illegal strikes in the southern Caribbean may also be implicated. At the same time, a Congressional inquiry led by a Republican has opened into Hegseth just as Trump pushes America closer to armed conflict in Venezuela."

NEWS: Group of Military Lawyers Conclude Hegseth Committed War Crimes, Murder, or Both
A group of former military lawyers have concluded, in a new statement, that Hegseth and anyone under him, have committed war crimes, murder, or both.Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)
"Even if you were to buy into the regime’s claims that they are conducting these killings to root out drug traffickers who cause harm to Americans, Trump utterly belied that argument yesterday by providing a full pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who has been serving a 45-year prison sentence for drug trafficking."

“'The Constitution really is not adequate to deal with a president as evil as Trump,' [former White House lawyer Ty] Cobb said in an interview broadcast on MSNow, adding that the president’s recent actions reflected 'a desire to accumulate and abuse power.'”
'He’s committing war crimes in Venezuela and Colombia,' Cobb said, asserting that military legal officers who raised concerns 'were fired or sidelined.'”

'Textbook War Crime': Critics Slam Hegseth For 'Outright Murder' After Shock Report
Observers say a new report in the Washington Post details potentially illegal activity by the defense secretary.Ed Mazza (HuffPost)
"As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water."
"The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the [Venezuelan] boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. 'The order was to kill everybody,' one of them said."

Good morning 💔
Today, while I was cooking over the fire, I realized how simple this is for some people… and how hard it is for us.
The heat was burning my face, the smoke getting into my eyes, and every time I tried to make the fire stronger, I could feel my hands burning.
There’s no gas, no kitchen… just two stones and a fire we try to use to make a meal to survive.
