L’ancien général italien de 57 ans, propulsé numéro deux de la Ligue du Nord en 2024 à la suite d’un succès de librairie, a finalement rompu avec le parti de Matteo Salvini qu’il juge trop modéré.

While Washington builds coalitions, Vietnam is betting on self-reliance.

Thirty years after establishing a customs union with the European Union (EU), Ankara sees growing economic risks in the EU’s free trade agreements with third countries, most recently India. While negotiations on the EU–India Free Trade Agreement were concluded at the end of January, and security cooperation between the EU and India is now also to be expanded, Ankara remains on the sidelines. From Turkey’s perspective, the agreement could also weaken its significance in the EU’s strategic calculus. Ankara is therefore making a strong case for the modernisation of the customs union. It cannot be ruled out that the structural asymmetries of the customs union will become even more entrenched to Turkey’s detriment: Market integration without political participation may place Turkey at a lasting disadvantage and strain its rela­tions with the EU. Once the free trade agreement enters into force, Indian products will gain easier access to the Turkish market, whereas Turkish products will not gain corresponding access to India. Due to geopolitical differences with India, Tur­key also sees risks to its own regional interests. Brussels and Berlin could use this constellation to put cooperation with Ankara on a viable institutional footing.

Partey is to appear at crown court next month, charged with raping a woman in December 2020.

On 18 March (15.00-16.15) DROI in association with the Delegation for Relations with South Africa (D-ZA) will discuss the impact of exporting pesticides banned in the EU on the right to health and a healthy environment in South Africa.

Although certain highly hazardous pesticides are banned in the EU because of their harmful effects on human health and the environment, they are still produced in the EU and exported to countries with less stringent regulations.

South Africa is a clear example of this practice, as some of these products are associated with serious health risks for agricultural workers, especially women, who are exposed to them on a daily basis, but also for children living in exposed areas.

Marcos A. Orellana, UN special rapporteur on toxic chemicals and human rights; Navanethem Pillay former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and judge at the ICC; Colette Solomon, Director of Women on Farms Project and the Commission will join the debate to share their respective perspective on this topic.
