Russia’s forced transfer of Ukraine children ‘genocide’: Council of Europe https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/russias-forced-transfer-of-ukraine-children-genocide-council-of-europe/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #CouncilofEurope #deportation #genocide #Russianinvasion #Ukraine

#Europe #CouncilOfEurope #AI #HumanRights: "As of today, the Council of Europe’s plan is to create an international ‘Convention’ or a ‘Framework Convention’, both of which would be international treaties that are legally binding under international law upon states that sign on to it. States would thus be free to sign or not to – but if they do, they legally commit themselves to comply with it. Signatures would be open to non-member states, which is why states like the US or Israel are participating in the current negotiations.

Such a Convention would contain a range of obligations for states to make sure that human rights are respected in the development and use of AI systems. It would not be limited to one specific field of application but contain horizontal rules (which could be complemented by additional sectoral regulations in the future). Signatory states would be required to implement the provisions at the domestic level, i.e., through introducing domestic measures and laws. Affected individuals will thus be protected by these domestic safeguards (given their state has signed on) and can seek legal remedies at domestic level. In addition, the Convention would likely require states to create a national supervisory authority to supervise the implementation of the Convention’s obligations."

Whistleblower Judgment #ECtHR Grand Chamber

... may have an effect on #whistleblowing in the 46 #CE member states.
E. g. #Switzerland, which is not #whistleblower friendly according to the #Beobachter.

"Overall, the Grand Chamber’s #judgment can be seen as a victory for all unsung heroes, who blew the #whistle and suffered retaliation, #blacklisting and #demotion. The Court sent a message that #whistleblowers should be heard and not suppressed."

#councilofeurope (“‘Contrary to what some are trying to suggest, protecting #womensrights and the rights of #trans people is not a zero-sum game.‘ [@CommissionerHR ] emphasises that rhetoric stigmatising trans persons, including by representing them as a threat, is unacceptable, and that the authorities must speak out clearly against such narratives.“ https://www.coe.int/en/web/commissioner/-/united-kingdom-backsliding-on-human-rights-must-be-prevented) or #DailyMail ?
