Energy giant ExxonMobil sues EU to block energy windfall tax
WASHINGTON — Exxon Mobil is suing the European Union in an attempt to force the bloc to scrap its new windfall tax on oil companies, according to reports on Wednesday.The US oil giant argues Brussels has gone beyond its legal authority by imposing the levy.Oil companies posted record profits this year, benefiting from soaring energy prices that have helped trigger a cost of living crisis across Europe.The windfall tax on profits is "counter-productive," discourages investment and undermines investor confidence, Exxon spokesperson Casey Norton said on Wednesday.He warned that the oil company will factor the tax into future decisions on whether to channel multi-billion-euro investments into Europe’s energy supply and transition."Whether we invest here primarily depends on...

GENEVA — The UN rights chief Volker Türk called on the Taliban de facto authorities to revoke immediately a raft of policies that target the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan, saying that they cause “terrible, cascading effects” on their lives and risk destabilizing the nation.“No country can develop — indeed survive — socially and economically with half its population excluded,” said the High Commissioner for Human Rights.“These unfathomable restrictions placed on women and girls will not only increase the suffering of all Afghans but, I fear, pose a risk beyond Afghanistan’s borders.”He urged the de facto authorities to “respect and protect” the rights of all women and girls — to be seen, heard, and involved in all aspects of Afghanistan’s “social,...
