On November 11, the European Parliament held a hearing on the legal assessment of the European Council's sanctions against journalists. According to the unanimous opinion of the legal scholars presenting their arguments, the current EU sanctions regime against individuals for alleged "disinformation" violates EU and international law in numerous respects. The measures are legally flawed, disproportionate, and incompatible with fundamental rights. NachThinkPages document the hearing in its entirety.
The comprehensive legal opinion, spanning 55 pages, was prepared by international law expert Professor Dr. Alina Miron of the University of Angers and Professor Dr. Ninon Colneric, former judge of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), and presented to the European Parliament on November 11. The opinion was commissioned by two MEPs from the BSW (German Association for Social Justice), Ruth Firmenich and the long-serving UN diplomat Michael von der Schulenburg.
Ninon Colneric: Former President of the Schleswig-Holstein State Labour Court, Judge at the Court of Justice of the European Communities (formerly the Court of Justice of the European Union), Honorary Professor at the University of Bremen and former European Co-Doyenne of the China-EU School of Law in Beijing. Today she works freelance.
Prof. Alina Miron: Professor of International Law at the University of Angers and partner at FAR Avocats. She regularly represents states before the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the European Court of Justice, and before arbitration tribunals. Co-author of the standard work "Droit international public" and editor of the "Atlas des espaces maritimes de la France".
The NachDenkSeiten website was present at this hearing in Brussels and wanted to know, among other things, whether there are legal possibilities to find out which specific state or national authority had the three German journalists in question (Hüseyin Doğru, Thomas Röper and Alina Lipp) placed on the EU sanctions list.
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
