Several European Parliament resolutions are being drafted condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
MEPs mull declaring Russia a terrorist state over ‘brutal and inhumane’ crimes against
STRASBORUG —The European Parliament should declare Russia a terrorist state for the “intimidation and destruction of Ukrainians as a nation,” according to a strongly-worded resolution being drafted by the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) and seen by Euronews.At least two other political groups, Renew Europe and the European Conservatives and Reformists, are preparing similar texts, Euronews can confirm, increasing the odds for a formal declaration to be issued by the hemicycle as early as next Wednesday.The groups plan to put their resolutions, which could be eventually merged into one, to a vote during next week’s plenary, where they would necessitate a majority of MEPs to be formally adopted.Parliamentary resolutions are not legally binding but can carry a heavy...

Marin’s government could collapse, as Sámi human rights laws stalled
HELSINKI — Three weeks ago, nobody in the Finnish government was talking about rights for Sámi, the EU’s only recognized indigenous people.Few Finns even knew — or cared to know — there were any problems with a stalled piece of human rights legislation.But now it’s a subject that’s regularly leading news bulletins, prompting ministers to write editorials in newspapers, sparking discussions on podcasts and gaining international media attention.It could even be the final straw in bringing down Sanna Marin’s government.The Sámi Parliament Act sets out how the Finnish government interacts with the Sámi Parliament in Inari on matters that affect Sámi people.Previous attempts to pass an act, after lengthy negotiations, have failed at the Sámi Parliament level but this new...

WHO urges immediate skin-to-skin contact for babies born prematurely
GENEVA — Premature babies should be given skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth to improve their survival and health outcomes, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, in new guidelines published on Tuesday.The advice marks a significant departure from earlier practice, reflecting the immense health benefits of ensuring caregivers — generally mothers — and preterm or small babies, can stay close after birth, without any separation.“Preterm babies can survive, thrive, and change the world — but each baby must be given that chance,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general.“These guidelines show that improving outcomes for these tiny babies is not always about providing the most high-tech solutions, but rather ensuring access to essential healthcare...

Russian anger as UN calls for reparations over invasion of Ukraine
MOSCOW/ KYIV — Russia has angrily rejected international calls for it to pay for war damage it has inflicted in Ukraine.It comes after the UN General Assembly passed a resolution saying Russia should face the consequences of its actions, including paying reparations.General Assembly resolutions carry symbolic weight, but do not have the power to enforce compliance.The Kremlin said it would work to stop the West seizing its international reserves to pay for reparations.Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused the West of attempting to "formalize robbery" and violate the rules of private property and international law.The resolution said that Russia "must bear the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts, including making reparation for the injury, including...
