"I'm glad to go, 

I cannot tell a lie" 

Last week it was a sad one. Why? Many countries withdrew from different treaties and courts - important ones.

Let’s begin with Turkey. A Presidencial decree, from last Saturday, published that Turkey was leaving - ironically - the Istanbul Convention. Turkey is withdrawing from their own treaty? Kind of. The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence, aka the Istanbul Convention because it was signed in 2011, in Istanbul, Turkey. In fact, Turkey was the first to ratify it. This is weird! It’s like Austria leaving the Vienna Convention or France withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. Why is this a problem? For many reasons.

Other cases: 

  • Turkey left the Istanbul Convention;
  • Brazilian Steakhouse labor lawsuit;
  • Japanese Court denied reactivating the Tokai second nuclear power plant;
  • Spain legalised euthanasia;
  • We like to keep you updated:
  • - The EU and UK conflict with the Northern Ireland Protocol,
    - Uber London workers situation and
    - The Apache Tribe’s situation update.
