UN alert on "human shields" in Ukraine
Published July 10, 2022 at 10.17
FOREIGN. A new report from the UN raises alarms that civilians are being used as "human shields" in the war in Ukraine, reports GP.

About 50 elderly and disabled people died when Russia attacked the nursing home in Stara Krasnianka in eastern Luhansk in March.

The attack was condemned by the outside world and was described as an unjustified atrocity. But in a new report, the UN places much of the blame on Ukraine.

The report states that Ukrainian forces had stationed themselves at the nursing home several days before the attack, which made the building a target for the Russians.

The residents and staff were also not allowed to evacuate but were allowed to remain in the nursing home during the fighting of the following days, without electricity or water.

The UN report is cautious in its wording but expresses concern that "human shields" could be used in the Ukraine war.

"Why the media obscures what is happening in Holland"

MEDIA. Western journalists and leading media houses have chosen to tone down or completely obscure the ongoing unrest in the Netherlands. Joakim Andersen, a writer with a focus on the history of ideas, believes that this is because those in power and their politicians are simply really scared.

According to Andersen, both the reporting on the yellow vests and the Dutch protests show that the establishment side of the conflict is both well-organized and resourceful.

"The lack of media coverage is probably due to the fact that elite actors do not want yellow vests and angry peasants to remind other Western peoples that passivity is not the only option," he states in a text on his own blog Oskorei.

Joakim Andersen states that the price is often high for those who go to the establishment with less peaceful means. Not only the harsh methods of the Dutch government but also the treatment of those involved in the "storming of the Capitol" show that this is the case.

"However, it is doubtful whether these repressive methods can in the long run control widespread popular dissatisfaction. We have already seen signs of lack of loyalty with the establishment of the police during the initial stages of similar conflicts in Canada, among others. In the Netherlands, the establishment "when they have to explain why they choose to push through their new environmental policy during an acute, and global, crisis in terms of both food and the economy.
