World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So Orbán will be an accessory after the fact. Arrest him too.
Hungary withdrew from the ICC like yesterday so they have no jurisdiction.
They have only stated the intention, not an actual application for withdrawal. Also it has to go through parliament first, which probably is just a formality.
Article 127 of the Statute also states that ‘[t]he withdrawal shall take effect one year after the date of receipt of the notification, unless the notification specifies a later date.’
Yeah makes sense. I was just used to drastic changes happening so fast you can't notice.
Fair enough. The whole ordeal of undermining the arrest order is quite frustrating (to say it mildly).
It also brings back memories about France, Germany, and others trying to ignore the order. I think Netanyahu is not going to try travelling there, though. There it might not be a political decision, but up to the judicial system. I hope the latter holds true…
I think m this was the reason he did not visit Poland a while ago.
Some people in Hungary say this is build-up for a Putin state visit in Hungary
Maybe he is trying to create a precedent for the EU to initiate article 7 of the Treaty on European Union and suspend some of his rights (voting?), and creating an argument to retreat from the EU.
On the other hand, I can only imagine the EU still being very important for Hungary an Hungarians and getting out of it would mean he is digging his own grave. If Hungary leaves the EU it would also mean that the EU has no leverage at all any more to show Hungarian democratic backsliding.
Makes one wonder where these people get so radicalised and how they manage to go so long without being stopped.
