Cologne, Feb.16.– Since 2019, we have reported extensively on the developments around the Conference on the Future of Europe, from our advocacy work with Citizens Take Over Europe to the monitoring of the actual European Citizens’ Panels on the ground. And on January 14th, the next phase of the Conference began: the Parliament for the Future of Europe.

Parliament for the Future of Europe is an EU-funded project coordinated by us at Democracy International that will continue for the next 1.5 years until the 2024 European Parliament elections. The project involves 6 other partner organizations from the 6 EU Member States with the lowest voter turnouts in the last European elections. The goal: to scrutinize the proposals of the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) and reshape them to be more inclusive and to better meet the needs of marginalized and underrepresented groups.

Rewind back to the fall of 2021: the European Citizens’ Panels just launched, and one of the top civil society criticisms of the process was the lack of inclusiveness. While the European Citizens’ Panels, in theory, should be a mirror of European society due to the nature of the sortition process of citizens’ assemblies, those underrepresented groups in traditional political participation practices remained underrepresented in the European Citizens’ Panels. This is especially concerning when discussing topics like migration, where those who would be most affected by EU migration policy could not be seen in the room.

Kyiv, Feb.15.– Since the 1950s, the US has created scenarios and war games centered around nuclear war. Nearly all of them suggest that there is no turning back once one begins. The United States President is authorized to employ military force against any Ukraine's war front line 2/15/2023 country he considers appropriate under the Military Use Authorization Directive (MUAD). In this scenario, Putin's assault on Ukraine would be covered by the order, and the US would be permitted to use military force.

It's important to note that President Obama modified MUAD in 2012, including a provision that permits preemptive strikes. There are never any winners, even if they choose a flexible response approach. The MAD (mutually assured destruction) scenario makes it clear that utilizing nuclear weapons comes at a high cost.

Moscow (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - Feb, 2).– Israel is at the beginning of a constitutional crisis, as the new government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to curb the power of the Yariv Levin Israeli Supreme Court through a far-reaching judicial reform, experts told Sputnik.

On January 4, Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin rolled out a legal reform package that would limit the authority of the supreme court by giving the cabinet control over the selection of new judges, as well as allowing the country's Parliament, the Knesset, to override the court's rulings with an absolute majority, among other things.
