@YokerOno Freedom of Expression is NOT limitless.

"Common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, hate speech, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury."

And the UK also signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (#ICCPR).

So Clarkson's despicable tantrum is in fact not protected Freedom of Expression.

🔶 The United Nations #Human_Rights Committee will hold a two-day session this week to examine the Egyptian government's implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights #ICCPR, which Egypt ratified in 1982 and thus became part of Egyptian legislation.

R to @hk_watch: ➡️ #HKSAR is continuing the #CCP’s narrative of dismissing #politicalrights by implying that they are illegitimate ➡️ #HK has obligations to protect the rights in the #ICESCR and #ICCPR as it is a party https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1626260019090972674#m

R to @hk_watch: #HKSAR is completely ignoring the recommendation to repeal and refrain from applying the #NSL, made during the #ICCPR review. However, they are also making no effort to apply #safeguards, #clarifications, or #remedies. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1625853856004583428#m

@shu_wang_gong Such astute observations on the complicated situation of the abolition of the #deathpenalty in #Taiwan, which often falls into heated discussions of “for” or “against.” Whole thread worth reading to understand how Taiwan’s highest court is interpreting the restriction of the application of the death penalty, as an exceptional measure for the most serious crimes. Gives hope that someday #ICCPR #OptionalProtocol 2 will also take hold.

My understanding is that 'direct intent' means to act knowingly and purposely. 'Non-specific (indirect intent) is not clearly defined by statute but seems to be something very similar to the concept of recklessness under the Model Penal Code.

The rationale behind the new rule is that ICCPR §6 and its General comment no. 36 prohibit the use of the death penalty except in the "...in the most exceptional cases and under the strictest limits."

Celebrate #HumanRightsDay2022. Update #iccpr reporting to account for impact of #artificalintelligence @volker_turk and @gioasempre #fairness #inclusion #justice @UN_HRC @UN_SPExperts @UNESCO @UNHumanRights @theCAIDP

A few days ago (29 Nov), the Federal Prosecutoriat of Citizen's Rights (PFDC) of the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) published a 6 page technical note arguing that the changes recently (Feb 2022) introduced are #unconstitutional and contrary to the #UDHR, the #ICCPR and the #ACHR (all "treaties" on human rights that #Brazil ratified).

So far it appears no one tried to sue the government over these changes but I could be wrong.

“1. All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.” https://buff.ly/3BTKfCM ...you know, like in #Palestine & #PuertoRico... #ICCPR

Yup, our abortion laws still breach #humanrights.
