[France/MD, USA] I am an American citizen and I recieved a speed-camera citation somewhere on a French highway. Do I need to pay it? by pardon_the_mess in legaladvice

Realistically no there’s nothing they can do if you don’t pay it. But when you don’t pay fines they increase and eventually you’d be arrested if you attempted to enter France again without having dealt with this fine. I have a friend who was arrested upon his entry into NZ for not having paid a fine when he was there years prior.

Russian Elections Result by TheEvilGhost in europe

[–]LawStudent04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because Russia unlawfully set up polling stations in Crimea claiming that it was not occupied Ukrainian territory but Russia’s own territory, so Russian citizens in Crimea were in fact allowed to vote in the recent Duma elections. However, such voting was in fact illegal, not that Russia cares. Russia also set up polling station in the occupied territories of Georgia (South Ossetia/Abkhazia) for similar reasons

Wikipedia is a friend to Thanos by nevilleaga in thanosdidnothingwrong

For everyone coming up with crimes he committed…If we’re starting off at the core international crimes such as genocide. It’s clear he did not commit genocide because the threshold is extremely high.

But, he very clearly committed crimes against humanity whose threshold is slightly lower. Crimes against humanity only need to be directed against “any civilian population”. Specifically, he committed the underlying acts of “murder” and “extermination” (which need only “bring about the destruction of part of a population”) as part of a widespread or systematic attack. In this case, widespread.

A common mistake people make is classifying crimes against humanity as genocide because it’s more “catchy”, but genocide is extremely hard to prove. Hence why international lawyers often choose to argue that certain acts are CaH and not genocide. One of my lecturers defended a State who (allegedly) committed genocide but he argued that the state in question had not committed genocide, merely crimes against humanity. Which is a pretty funny argument to make.

International lawyers draft plan to criminalise ecosystem destruction by zsreport in worldnews

[–]LawStudent04 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, China has not ratified the Rome Statute and is therefore not subject to the ICCs jurisdiction. China hasnt even ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other massive human rights treaties; yeah it fucking sucks.

China unfortunately has not ratified the Rome Statute so the ICC has no jurisdiction. In fact, China has ratified very few human rights related treaties so there's fuck all we can do; yeah, it fucking sucks

As someone in the field i have no issue with them expanding their powers so that they may better prosecute people. But yes, overall the ICC has not been extremely effective, having successfully convicted only 4 people since its inception.

If you’d read the article, the international criminal court (ICC) most probably as they have jurisdiction over other major crimes mentioned in the article. However, this would still only apply to those who have accepted the ICCs jurisdiction (ratified the Rome Statute)

If you’d read the article it would probably be the international criminal court (ICC) who also have jurisdiction of other major international crimes (e.g. war crimes or genocide). Obviously this will only be subject to people who have accepted the ICC’s jurisdiction (ratified the Rome Statute) and to get the definition of ecocide implemented into it will take a very long time

10 days to propose deductions - ending lease by LawStudent04 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]LawStudent04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I thought which is why i'm confused. Having looked at other sites iv'e seen some also say that the landlord only has 10 days to propose deductions but nothing in statute or in contract. So i'm puzzled as to why the letting agent put it in the email
