It's make or break in European Parliament on Wednesday: will a 2/3 majority support democracy in Hungary and take action against the assault on the rule of law and human rights by the Hungarian government?

A senior official of the United States administration has threatened judges of the International Criminal Court because of a possible investigation into war crimes committed in Afghanistan. "It's an affront to victims everywhere who seek justice", says HRW's Elizabeth Evenson

Did you know child marriage is still not banned in the United Kingdom?
