The Constitutional Court is hearing submissions from the Competition Commission.This relates to its bid to overturn a ruling that cleared major banks of wrongdoing in a decades-long rand fixing case. The court is due to hear four days of legal arguments in the matter stemming from allegations that the banks were manipulating the foreign exchange rate between the US dollar and the Rand. This appeal seeks to overturn a January ruling by the Competition Appeal Court (CAC), which sided with most of the banks accused of price-fixing, allowing them to escape the allegations. For more we spoke to our reporter Nosipho Radebe.

A recent decision from Italy's Constitutional Court has clarified the status of the country's previous rules for obtaining Italian citizenship by descent, confirming their compliance with the Italian Constitution and preserving them for cases filed before the March 28 legislative changes. While this ruling does not address the newer restrictions introduced by the Tajani Decree, a separate review of those rules is expected early next year, and its outcome could have significant implications for applicants. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll learn more about what this ruling means for ongoing and future citizenship applications.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenship
Bongani Bingwa in conversation GroundUp journalist Daniel Steyn about Primrose Modisane's long-fought battle for recognition.

The conversation also explores the broader implications of high administrative costs on the compensation fund for sick miners and a recent Constitutional Court ruling that deemed restricting cattle grazing for people living on land under the Extension of Security of Tenure Act (ESTA) as equivalent to eviction. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In conversation with Judge Edwin Cameron, Rebecca Gore and Sohela Surajpal This episode of Africa Rights Talk delves into the often-invisible world of South Africa's prison system through a compelling conversation with the authors of Behind Prison Walls: Unlocking a Safer South Africa, Judge Edwin Cameron, Rebecca Gore, and Sohela Surajpal. Drawing on their extensive experience at the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS), the trio sheds light on the systemic violence, overcrowding, and lack of accountability that define life behind bars. The discussion explores the motivations behind writing the book and how it fills a critical gap in public understanding of incarceration and justice. With firsthand insights and reflections, the authors emphasize that prison reform is not just a matter of policy, but a moral imperative rooted in human rights. The episode offers a vision for what meaningful reform could look like, centering rehabilitation, dignity, and true safety for both inmates and society at large. Judge Cameron speaks to how his prison visits reshaped his understanding of justice and vulnerability, while Gore and Surajpal share the deeply personal stories that rarely make it into the public record. Together, they argue for a collective reimagining of South Africa's approach to correctional services, one that recognizes prisons as potential spaces of restoration rather than sites of perpetual harm. This thought-provoking episode challenges listeners to expand their understanding of justice beyond the prison walls. Judge Edwin Cameron was appointed Inspecting Judge of prisons from 1 January 2020, after serving 25 years as a judge, the last eleven in South Africa's highest court, the Constitutional Court. He has also authored Witness to AIDS and Justice: A Personal Account. Rebecca Gore worked as a legal researcher to Inspecting Judge Edwin Cameron at the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (2021–2022) and law clerk at the Constitutional Court of South Africa (2019-2020). In addition, she has worked and consulted for a variety of international human rights bodies in South Africa and abroad, including the UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls. She is currently a pupil advocate at the Cape Bar. Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Social Science in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE), a postgraduate Honours degree, and an LLB from the University of Cape Town, where she is a research associate at the Centre for Law and Society. She earned her Master of Laws (LLM) from Harvard Law School, where she was awarded the Henigson Human Rights Fellowship.

Italy's new Italian citizenship by descent rules introduced through the Tajani Decree now limit eligibility to only two generations, restricting recognition to children and grandchildren of Italian-born ancestors. Legal challenges are already in progress, with a key case from the Court of Torino forwarded to the Italian Constitutional Court. A recent constitutional hearing also addressed questions about Italy's previous citizenship laws and their compliance with the Italian Constitution, raising important points that could influence how these new restrictions are interpreted for those applying for Italian dual citizenship. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll learn more about the legal challenges against the Tajani Decree, the evolving court cases in Italy, and what these developments mean for those seeking Italian citizenship through their family heritage.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenshipTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:44 - Background of the Tajani Decree5:28 - Hearing held on June 24th8:17 - Marco's opinion on the current situation16:49 - Closing Thoughts & Outro

President Donald Trump is touting Florida's effort to build an immigration detention facility at an old airfield in the Everglades. The new site points to a wider effort underway to find spaces to hold people involved in the administration's mass deportation campaign. Also: today's stories, including how Finns are pulling out of a treaty because they feel threatened by their extensive border with Russia, how the Dominican Republic is deporting record numbers of Haitians, and how Thailand's Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over ethics violations. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.
The Constitutional Court of Thailand has suspended Paetongtarn Shinawatra from her duties as prime minister pending an ethics investigation over a leaked phone call with a senior Cambodian official.泰国宪法法院已暂停佩通坦・西那瓦的总理职务，等待就其与柬埔寨一名高级官员的泄露通话展开的道德调查结果。 Meeting on Tuesday, the court unanimously agreed to consider Paetongtarn's impeachment over the controversial audio clip of a recent conversation with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen. 周二召开的会议上，法院一致同意审议针对佩通坦的弹劾案，事由是她近期与柬埔寨参议院议长洪森的一段有争议的录音片段。 Last month, a petition from 36 senators was handed to the Constitutional Court seeking Paetongtarn's removal from office due to the content of her conversation with Hun Sen, in which she refers to a Thai army commander as an "opponent". The senators stated that this remark showed a lack of responsibility and integrity. 上月，36 名参议员向宪法法院提交请愿书，要求罢免佩通坦的职务，原因是她在与洪森的对话中，将一名泰国军队指挥官称为 “对手”。参议员们称，这一言论表明其缺乏责任感和诚信。 The petition requested a ruling under Section 170, paragraph three, combined with Section 82 of the Thai Constitution. The petition described the contents of the clip as devastating to Thai sovereignty, the military and people. It also asked the Constitutional Court to suspend Paetongtarn from her duties as PM until the Constitutional Court issues a ruling, in accordance with the Charter. 该请愿书请求依据泰国宪法第 170 条第 3 款及第 82 条作出裁决。请愿书称，录音片段内容对泰国主权、军队和人民造成了严重损害。它还要求宪法法院根据宪章规定，在作出裁决前暂停佩通坦的总理职务。 In a statement released Tuesday, the court said it had accepted the petition and announced an order on Paetongtarn's suspension from official duties effective immediately, pending a final ruling. 在周二发布的一份声明中，法院表示已受理该请愿书，并宣布暂停佩通坦公职的命令立即生效，等待最终裁决。 Also on Tuesday, the Thai cabinet approved the secretariat's proposal to instruct the country's deputy prime ministers to act on behalf of Paetongtarn while she is unable to perform her duties. 同样在周二，泰国内阁批准了秘书处的提议，指示副总理们在佩通坦无法履行职责时代为行事。 Since Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai is still awaiting royal endorsement of his new position of interior minister, which he is due to receive on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Suriya Jungrungreangkit will serve as acting prime minister. 由于副总理蓬谭・韦差亚猜仍在等待王室对其内政部长新职位的批准（定于周四获批），副总理兼交通部长素里亚・春伦良金将担任代理总理。 Suriya would possess full authority equivalent to the prime minister and be able to issue orders regarding appointments and budgets. He will also lead the new cabinet in Thursday's oath-taking ceremony, according to Thai media. 据泰国媒体报道，素里亚将拥有与总理同等的全部权力，能够发布有关任命和预算的命令。他还将在周四的新内阁宣誓就职仪式上担任领誓人。 suspend /səˈspend/ 暂停；中止 impeachment /ɪmˈpiːtʃmənt/ 弹劾 petition /pəˈtɪʃn/ 请愿书；请愿 sovereignty /ˈsɒvrənti/ 主权；最高统治权

“I like young people to know that they're extremely powerful. So I'm one person, but I think I always had this positive idea about my role. You cannot let anyone tell you what limitations are there, so you shouldn't feel limited by anyone telling you this is as far as you can go, or this is what you can do. I think only you know about that, and I think you start step by step. When I did the first case, I learned some things. Then was the next case. When the time to learn comes, learn with all your might because that's gold. It's a moment in life when you have the time to actually do that. Get informed. People who are into Googling everything should open up their searches, go out there, and learn in a different way. Don't hold back.I guess the book was about giving hope because I realized how much we could do together. If a person can manage to argue and make a major impact in the way we are understanding treaties in human rights or other things, imagine what could be if every single person is in their own place in some field, with that alertness and synced in the same way. I believe that ordinary people are the ones bringing changes here. I believe that the communities gathering together – for example, I am seeing that in this country around the protection of rivers – are the ones that will mark the change. It's not going to come from above; it's going to come from below, up. And that means all of us. We all have a role.To the young people, I would say you have the right to joy, and you have the right to be happy. Working for the protection of what we love the most will make you happy. So get into a positive mindset. Learn all you can. Be part of things that make you feel positive. You will see how you will find your way, and there is no place for feeling disempowered.

A cancelled election, a cancelled candidate and a divided country – is Romania's democracy under threat?Last December the country's Constitutional Court cancelled the presidential election two days before the final vote, citing outside interference, with the nationalist pro-Putin candidate, Calin Georgescu, riding high in the polls. TikTok sensation and portraying himself as an outsider, Georgescu's anti-EU and anti-NATO message resonated with an unhappy electorate. His sudden success was unprecedented, as was the cancelation of a European democratic election.The political establishment claim that cyberwarfare and Russian interference gave them no choice. Georgescu has now been eliminated from May's Presidential re-run.Historian Tessa Dunlop asks how this happened, why it matters and what next for this strategically important country on the eastern edge of the EU and NATO?
