Don’t ignore us: Backed by pope, poorer nations use COP28 summit to press rich world on climate

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:03:55 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Countries once colonized by empires are striking back on global warming — and they have the pope’s blessing.Leaders of developing nations jumped into Saturday’s high-level speeches at the U.N. climate summit to press rich industrial countries to share their knowhow to fight global warming and ease the financial burdens they face — while trumpeting their own natural resources that swallow heat-trapping carbon in the air.The 28th annual U.N. Conference of the Parties, or COP28, in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, featured about 150 presidents, prime ministers, royals and other leaders who are presenting their plans to cut heat-trapping emissions and mostly seek unity with other nations to avert climate catastrophe that seemed to draw closer than ever in 2023.Injecting moral authority into the talks, Pope Francis said “the destruction of the environment is an offense against God” in a letter read on his behalf because he had to cancel pl...

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor paved a path for women on the Supreme Court. Four are serving today

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:03:55 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — One fall day in 2010, retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor slipped into the courtroom where she worked for nearly 25 years to take in an “amazing” sight.The first — and for 12 years, the only — woman on the high court saw three women in black robes among the nine justices.Recalling that day, O’Connor said she “saw a woman on the far right end of the bench, one on the far left end and one near the middle. That was pretty amazing.”O’Connor lived to see four women serve at the same time on the Supreme Court. What was once a novelty when she was the first woman to sit on the high court has become almost commonplace. In a sense, O’Connor was witnessing the culmination of her own journey, in which she struggled to get any legal job after graduating from law school in the 1950s, then ended more than 190 years of male exclusivity on the Supreme Court when President Ronald Reagan nominated her in 1981.O’Connor, who left the court in 2006, died Friday in Phoenix...

En esa consulta popular, que se llevará a cabo el 3 de diciembre, Venezuela les preguntará a sus ciudadanos si quieren anexar la Guayana Esequiba y otorgarles a las personas que viven allí la ciudadanía de ese país.¿Cómo votar en el referéndum de Venezuela sobre el Esequibo, el territorio que disputa con Guyana?Venezuela asegura que le despojaron el territorio en 1899 en el Laudo Arbitral de París, que calificó como nulo e “írrito” al denunciar en 1962 ante la ONU supuestos vicios en el procedimiento. Por su parte, Guyana rechaza este referendo y ha pedido a la Corte Internacional de Justicia que emita una orden de emergencia para que detenga la consulta popular, pues, por derecho, el territorio le pertenece.¿Qué es el territorio del Esequibo y desde cuándo está en...

Macron says Israel ‘must more precisely define’ goal of Hamas assault

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:03:55 GMT

French President Emmanuel Macron said Israel “must more precisely define” what it seeks to accomplish in its war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas. “We are at a moment when Israeli authorities must more precisely define their objectives and their final goal: the total destruction of Hamas — does anyone think it is possible? If this is the case, the war will last 10 years,” Macron said on Saturday.Macron told a press conference at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai: “There is no lasting security for Israel in the region if its security is achieved at the cost of Palestinian lives.” Macron made the comments after the Israeli military intensified its bombing of the Gaza Strip, on the second day after a truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed, with Israel accusing Hamas of violating the terms of the agreement.A Palestinian official familiar with the truce efforts told the BBC the negotiations are completely stalled and there are currently no...
