Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

Selamat bekerja. Dengan pengakuan pengalihan kekuasaan secara internasional, saya harap pemerintahan transisi Suriah dapat mempertahankan kredibilitas-nya dengan menegakkan HAM dan hukum internasional, serta resolusi konflik diantara fraksi untuk perdamaian.

The effects of the Bashar al-Assad regime’s demise will extend far beyond Syria’s borders, write @natashahall.bsky.social and @joosthiltermann.bsky.social. “The end of Assad seems certain to transform the Middle East’s balance of power.”

If not for a trully liberal democracy, i really wish Syrians to work out a stable and lasting conflict resolution between the factions. A horific human toll has been taken in war, and i hope for nothing more than the least bloodshed towards this end.

Does anyone remmember when an Indonesian parliamentary fornicated in the process of passing laws against pornographic websites? As a general rule; populist moralists aren't good policymakers.

Australia passes harsh new anti-migration laws. Rather than reinforcing a system that criminalizes & punishes refugees & asylum seekers, Australia should take a rights-respecting approach, end offshore detention & invest in detention alternatives. @hrw @AnnabelHennessy www.hrw.org/news/2024/11...

Honestly quite overdue, regardless it's great that it finally did grab the attention that it deserves on the global spotlight; a genocidal and illegal junta. apnews.com/article/icc-...
