Can someone explain "blacklist" here? Are other nations allowed to do this shit?
There isn't really anything stopping them from doing it, just like the us bombing people in boats, its not legal, but who's gonna stop them?
The report is linked in the article. It's an annual report of the Secretary General to the Security Council.
No, it means that every country found to do sanctioned and systematic sexual violence is on the blacklist.
Yeah, the article seems to skip explaining what the blacklist is.
Since its a UN list, it is literally just a list, no penalty, just a naughty list.
Yeah. It seems to be a list rather than a blacklist. But because it names and shames it makes it easier for public sentiment to change and maybe some on-the-fence parties to come off it. It’s breadcrumbs, but I’ll take it.
I assume it means that they lose some privileges or they can’t send troops to be part of UN forces. Also, I’ve heard little of Russian war crimes, to the extent there are any.
Israel in the other hand has publicly admitted to systemic sexual abuse of prisoners, including using dogs to carry out rapes.
It’s listed in the article if you read it, and I’ve seen multiple reports. There are also credible reports of other human rights violations around the invasion of Ukraine. I don’t know whose water you’re carrying here or if this is some campist crap.
So many lists. How about something tangible that actually affects what's happening?
US, Russia & israel are biggest fucking terrorists and should be stopped.
israel and russia are the two most evil powers on earth
the US is just an extension of both
It's a threesome, and the US is the one being spitroasted.
Or the result of both
