International court rules Switzerland violated human rights in landmark climate case brought by 2,000 women

CNN — 

An international court in France on Tuesday ruled Switzerland’s failure to adequately tackle the climate crisis was in violation of human rights, in a landmark climate judgment that could have a ripple effect across the globe.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg, France delivered its ruling in a case brought by more than 2,000 Swiss women, the majority of whom are in their 70s, against Switzerland’s government. They argued that climate change-fueled heat waves undermined their health and quality of life, and put them at risk of dying.

The court ruled that the Swiss government had violated some of the women’s human rights due to “critical gaps” in its national legislation to reduce planet-heating emissions, as well as a failure to meet past climate targets.

This amounted to a breach of the women’s rights to effective protection from the “the serious adverse effects of climate change on lives, health, well-being and quality of life,” the court said in a statement.

It marks the first time the court has ruled on climate litigation. There is no right of appeal and the judgment is legally binding.

Not necessarily just one person. The World Government could have something like the Federal Council of Switzerland, seven people who serve together as the collective head of state and of government. Some countries, like the United States and most Latin American countries, have both offices held by the same person.
Others, like Ireland, have a mostly ceremonial president (head of state) and the prime-minister who wields Executive power (head of government).

Add a comment with where you are from and how that relates to your feelings on the aims of the sub ♥ this can lead to longer in depth explanations but we can try and keep it operational like the examples in the Poll.

I am starting to become skeptical of a world federation ever happening. For one thing it has almost no public support from any political commentators, politicians, and people across the globe. Even the federalization of the EU seems like a far away and slim possibility. Another example are the US and Canada who despite both being democracies, speaking the same language, sharing the same culture, and sharing the longest land border on Earth, there is virtually zero effort to unite these countries even though it combined could become significantly more wealthy and influential and become a stronger voice for human rights and democracy. In fact there’s hardly any historical example of states uniting peacefully that weren’t either the same ethnicity and culture and had previously been united before, let alone the entire planet uniting. For these reasons, unless everyone in this sub becomes leaders of thier respective countries, I find it extremely unlikely that a world federation will ever occur in the next couple hundred years or possibly even later.

Hello

I am a graphic designer and architect. I designed this flag as a symbol for humanity and Earth - a pale blue dot in space, as well as a light in darkness - because I think we badly need strong and simple symbols in an era of division and massive cooperation / earth-scale changes.

Tell me what you think of it.

If you haven't already heard, Helldivers 2 is an extremely popular game right now featuring a united "super earth" where players fight robots and alien bugs on other planets. I was hoping this will boost public knowledge on world federalism, but as someone who I mentioned this to said, "It's kinda like the federation in Starship Troopers, works as an allegory of blind nationalism/xenophobia, except with a united humanity against alien species, rather than amongst human groups."

I see where he's coming from, but isn't any exposure good exposure? Could be wrong and I'm open to opinions, just wanted to see what everyone thought about it.
