  • Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.

  • Government Misuse of the 'Money Message'
    Government misuse of the 'Money Message' A report for Uplift By William Hederman November 2019 www.uplift.ie Introduction The 32nd Dáil, which has been sitting since March 2016, has witnessed a huge number of Private Members’ Bills (Bills initiated by a TD or Senator who is not a Minister). The Fine Gael-led Government has cited this high number as one of the highlights of the Government’s time in office. The Programme for Government Annual Report 2019, includes under ‘Main Highlights’: “341 Private Members Bills published in Dáil and Seanad since May 2016 with 9 enacted.” https://assets.gov.ie/9292/31884557fe2c4fae8226540bf618778b.pdf Ironically, the strikingly low proportion of Bills enacted is partly due to the Government’s refusal to issue a 'Money Message' for more than 50 Bills. These are Bills that have been supported by a majority of TDs and Senators. Many of these Bills are progressive Bills that reflect the nature of the Dáil, in which opposition TDs constitute the majority, and in which 'new politics' brings the promise of greater democracy. Bills affected include the Climate Emergency Measures Bill, which would end the issuing of oil and gas exploration licences; the Occupied Territories Bill, which would ban the importation of goods from Israeli-occupied Palestine; the Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill; and the Anti-Eviction Bill, which would ban evictions on grounds of sale or renovation of property. The purpose of this research was to investigate how the Money Message is being misused and to provide evidence and analysis to support the campaign to change the rules.
