In December 2008, Davis went to work as a researcher at the Library of Congress in the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division. None of his work was related to Guantanamo. He was not a spokesperson for, or a public face of, the library. He was respected at work. Even the people who fired him do not contest that he did his “day job” as a researcher well. On November 12, 2009, the day after his op-ed and letter appeared, Davis was told by his boss that the pieces had caused the library concern over his “poor judgment and suitability to serve… not consistent with 'acceptable service'" -- as the letter of admonishment he received put the matter. It referred only to his op-ed and Washington Post letter, and said nothing about his work performance as a researcher. One week later, Davis was fired.
Pour:Assemblée nationale française Mesdames et messieurs les députés, Le 13 février, le Sénat a adopté une proposition de loi relative à l’exploitation numérique des livres indisponibles du XXe siècle que vous aviez approuvée en première lecture le 19 janvier. Cette loi vise à rendre accessible sous forme numérique l’ensemble de la production littéraire française du XXe siècle dès lors que les œuvres ne sont plus exploitées commercialement. Elle prévoit que la BnF recenserait dans une banque de données publique l’ensemble desdites œuvres dont l’exploitation serait gérée par une Société de perception et de répartition des droits (SRPD) qui assurerait, de façon paritaire, une rémunération aux éditeurs et aux auteurs. Vous allez être prochainement appelés à voter cette loi pour adoption définitive. Après lecture attentive, il nous apparaît que ce texte ne répond pas à l’objectif affiché de concilier la protection des auteurs et l’accès de tous aux ouvrages considérés comme introuvables. Au contraire il dévoie le droit d’auteur défini par le Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle, sans offrir la moindre garantie à tous les lecteurs de pouvoir accéder aux ouvrages dans des conditions raisonnables. Il est entendu que, par « auteurs », nous désignons ici les écrivains, les traducteurs, les dessinateurs et les illustrateurs, auxquels sont évidemment liés leurs ayants droit.
A global super-rich elite has exploited gaps in cross-border tax rules to hide an extraordinary £13 trillion ($21tn) of wealth offshore – as much as the American and Japanese GDPs put together – according to research commissioned by the campaign group Tax Justice Network.

The Perace Formula of Pres. Zelensky contained in "Speech by the President of Ukraine at the General Debate of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly 22 September 2022":
"So, all five items of our formula:
punishment for aggression;
protection of life;
restoration of security and territorial integrity;
security guarantees;
and determination to defend oneself.
This is the formula of crime and punishment, which is already well known to Russia. And this is the formula of justice and law and order that Russia has yet to learn. As well as any other potential aggressors.
What is not in our formula? Neutrality."

Hbl Riktade trakasserier utgör ett hot mot rättsstaten och borde kriminaliseras, anser Finlands juristförbund. Av åklagarna har 40 procent och av domarna hela två tredjedelar utsatts. Tingsdomaren Paula Virrankoski har blivit hotad med hängning.
Problemet, enligt Juristförbundets ordförande Antero Rytkölä, är att en stor del av det som kan ses som riktade trakasserier och i dag är kriminaliserade är målsägandebrott som inte faller under allmänt åtal. Då är det upp till den som har utsatts att själv driva processen. Det kan handla om ärekränkning, olaga hot och spridande av information som kränker privatlivet.
On the other hand, British Territory Cayman which was briefly blacklisted for the first time in February 202018 but removed from the list in October 2020 after it was deemed compliant with international tax rules, is responsible for the biggest share of countries’ tax losses (16.5 per cent of global tax losses, equal to over $70 billion a year). The Tax Justice Network argues that Cayman being deemed to be compliant with international tax rules despite being the world’s greatest enabler of global tax abuse is evidence that current international tax rules are not fit for purpose.
EU blacklisted jurisdictions cause less than 2% of global tax losses, EU member states cause 36%
