“When we talk about the trees being cut down, it's not just the trees. All of these trees are home to protected species. The environmental impact is enormous. Ecocide is not yet recognised in French law, unfortunately. But this will be an ecocide.”

“Voters in Serbia decided to change the Constitution in order to improve the work and independence of their justice system. The substance and result of the 16 January referendum were about important rule of law reforms. This news moves Serbia another step forward on its European path.”

“In today's referendum voters supported the change of the Constitution to reinforce judicial independence. I welcome this important step and commitment to EU path. We will continue to work with Serbian authorities on ambitious reform agenda, advancing EU integration.”

“If you worked in industry or for the government in North Korea, you can't come to South Korea and expect to do an equivalent job. You have to take a hit to your relative status, and that can have an effect on mental health, particularly for North Korean men. What is lacking [in South Korea] is the sense of community that the North - for all its disadvantages - had given them, particularly among people from rural areas who struggle to cope with the anonymity of life in a megalopolis like Seoul.”

“We're 35 days away from D-Day, and no status update has been delivered by relevant authorities or the private sector itself. That said, we weren't expecting any public transparency as to the implementation of this. In the past, the government has tried to block content by requesting private-sector I.S.P.s to remove it, with mixed success. But the National Internet Gateway gives them a much more powerful tool to crack down on free expression and dissent.”

“The authorities are emboldened by China as an example of an authoritarian state that gives Cambodia political cover, new technology and financial resources. The National Internet Gateway is merely centralizing what has been a decentralized system of control over Cambodia's internet. The outcome will be to crush what little remains of freedom of expression online.”

“For decades, Democrats and Republican administrations alike believed the market would manage supply. We live in the wreckage of that worldview. But it held for so long that the U.S. government has lost both the muscle and the confidence needed to manage supply, at least when it comes to anything other than military spending. So Biden's task now is clear: to build a government that can create supply, not just demand.”

“I think the history on the record of India's civic violence shows either the state does something that provokes the violence (against Muslims) or does not do enough to stop it. I think the government of India needs to take it seriously … The people outside are naturally alarmed when such things are said in India and nothing is done by the state.”

“A large opposition front will come into being to fight this authoritarian drift, especially as the economic and social crisis deepens, increasingly isolating Kais Saied... The big problem since the revolution is this mismatch between the people's socioeconomic demands, unfulfilled until today, and the pursuit of neoliberal policies that has continued post-2011. This is the time for the political class to reflect on the mistakes made in the past 11 years and move forward on new terms.”
