i dont see the point of human rights laws or courts when states will not oblige by them when they dont feel like it, and when there'll be no consequences when theyre found guilty
#i simply dont see the point for their existence#when i as a citizen of a country break the law there'll be consequences for me#when a state breaks laws on human rights that they agreed to upholding. no consequences. even when brought to court#is there something i'm missing#you might think this in the current case of palestine yes#i was specifically thinking of another recent instance. the political prisoners in turkey#the former hdp members imprisoned for tweeting people should protest against turkish support of ISIS#many of them got at least 30 years for that. and two days ago there was another hearing where some sentences were prolonged even more#in 2022 the european court of human rights decided the alligations made by the turkish state were unjust#did anything follow upon that decision? no. turkey didnt and doesnt care. those people have been in jail since 2016#nesi rants
