The high-profile murder of Kesaria Abramidze, a prominent Georgian trans model and media personality, has sent shockwaves through Georgia's queer community, with many accusing the government of enabling her murder through their transphobic and homophobic rhetoric and their ‘LGBT propaganda' law. Abramidze's suspected murder, her former partner, was charged with committing a hate crime based on gender, and not one based on Abramidze's gender identity. This week, we spoke to activist Monika Tigishvili about Abramidze's murder and being trans in Georgia, and to the Rule of Law Centre's hate crime researcher Nati Gelovani and Parntership for Human Rights criminal lawyer Tamara Zarkua about how Georgia's legal system handles transphobic hate crimes.

The South China Sea is a major world shipping route bordered by a number of countries including China, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, all of whom have staked claims to various zones in this vast expanse of water. But tensions have grown in recent years between China who claim the majority of the South China Sea for themselves and the Philippines. Lately these tensions have escalated into a series of dangerous encounters as the two countries seek to enforce their right to disputed reefs and outcrops in these contested waters. At the heart of this particular dispute lies a rusting warship, which belongs to the Philippine navy. It has been berthed on a submerged reef, the Second Thomas Shoal, since 1999, an outpost that the Philippine government claim belongs to them. The Sierra Madre is manned by a small Filipino crew who need a continual supply of provisions from the mainland, but the supply ships are encountering increasingly dangerous stand-offs with the Chinese coast guard in the South China Sea. The Chinese claim these encounters are just aimed at blocking an ‘illegal transportation' of supplies. But there are concerns that this regional dispute could spark a wider conflict between China and the US, who are treaty-bound to come to the defence of the Philippines, should it come under attack. So, on this week's Inquiry, ‘What can a rusting warship tell us about tensions in the South China Sea?'

Hear: Walter's interview with the Polish Ambassador to the UK recorded in 1998, about the undignified maintenance of the Auschwitz Birkenau Death Camp and the involvement of the Catholic Church with implied anti-Semitism. All: About Jonathan Pollard's view of the actions of Bennett, and his disappointment with the damage caused by the present government's policies. (first published in Arutz 7's news site). Why: Jordan, Turkey and countries with questionable human rights record should not interfere with Israel's actions on the Temple Mount, protecting its citizens and Muslim worshippers from hordes of rock and fire bomb throwers. The: Many challenges from the hostile world that Israel faced for years, listed by Shurit Hadin, Israel's Law Centre, the organisation most active in defending against BDS and fake accusations. A Note: About French President Macron vs. Marine Le Penn the leader of the French far right nationalist party in the context of their forthcoming election for the National Assembly. Walter's: Final comment: Israel has an existing law to allow the death penalty. It should be the only sentence for terrorist murder. It would prevent premature release in prisoner exchanges and there is evidence of released terrorists re-offending. The taxpayer, including bereaved families would not have to contribute to the expense of providing amenities for terrorist murderers in our prisons.

Ethan S. Burger, IWP Cyber Intelligence Instructor and International Attorney, discusses "Ukrainian National Identity and Russian Intelligence Failure." About the Lecture: Upon independence in 1991, Ukraine was divided by linguistic and geographic fault lines. This situation existed throughout Ukrainian society and presumably its institutions. Over the subsequent 30 years, the extent of social cohesion changed. The schools began to teach about Ukrainian history and emphasize the Ukrainian language and literature. Throughout Ukrainian society, a civic culture evolved where the concept of “citizenship” supplanted ethnic or linguistic identity in importance. Whereas Russian President Putin maintained his post-Soviet persona, a majority of Ukrainians were educated in an independent Ukraine that was more influenced by Western than Russian values. President Putin believed that his armed forces could exploit fault lines that remained in Ukraine to achieve a decisive military victory in a short amount of time and with light casualties. Most specialists believed that the Russians intended to decapitate the leadership of the Ukrainian government and put a “friendly” government into power. Both Russia and the NATO countries undervalued Ukraine's social cohesion political culture and hence its willingness and ability to resist Russian aggression militarily. Clearly, Russia's military setbacks can be attributed to intelligence failures when assessing Ukrainian societal unity. Similarly, the NATO countries might have been more forthcoming with military assistance to Ukraine if it had confidence that Ukraine, if properly armed, could resist Russian aggression. About the Speaker: Ethan S. Burger, Esq. is an Instructor and Advisory Board Member for IWP's Cyber Intelligence Initiative. He is a Washington D.C.- based international attorney and educator with a background in cybersecurity, transnational financial crime, and Russian legal matters. He has been a full-time faculty member at the American University (School of International Service — Transnational Crime Prevention Center) and the University of Wollongong (Australia) (Faculty of Law — Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention), as well as an Adjunct Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, Washington College of Law, and the University of Baltimore. He oversaw a program on transnational crime and corruption for US Department of Justice at Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University and gave lectures in Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa. Mr. Burger earned his J.D. at the Georgetown University Law Center, A.B. from Harvard University, and obtained a Certificate in Cybersecurity Strategy from Georgetown University.

Just released is news that Meghan had convened a roundtable, sitting down with a group of 13- to 18-year-old young women, primarily girls of colour, who are part of the North American Girls. Inc. organization. Also present were representatives from the National Women’s Law Centre. The sit down took place on April 8th, 2021, one day prior to the death of Prince Phillip. Meghan likely delayed releasing details of this event out of respect to the Queen and due to the two-week period of mourning for members of the Royal Family.So, who can guess when Girls Inc. (Girls Club of America) was first established?  Amazingly in 1864, a non-profit organization was set up to encourage all girls to be "Strong, Smart, and Bold" through direct service and advocacy. According to Wikipedia and their website,  https://girlsinc.org/ the movement started in Waterbury, Connecticut after the Civil War, primarily aiming to help young women who had migrated from rural communities in search of job opportunities. In 1945, fourteen charter Girls Clubs joined together to form a national organization.  In 1990 the Girls Club of America changed their name to Girls Inc. As of 2021 the network of local Girls Inc. has grown to 1,500 sites in 350 cities across the United States and Canada. Girls Inc. say that the girls involved in their organization live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.Also, at the round table were representatives from Washington based National Women’s Law Center. The MWLC fights for gender justice through advocacy and litigation, working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls. The organization started in 1972 when secretaries and law students at the Centre For Law and Social Policy made 4-demands of their bosses:1.    Better pay for women2.    More women staff lawyers3.    Work of women’s rights4.    And Women not having to serve coffee.According to the news story published on the Archewell website during the sit down Meghan asked the girls about their ambitions, what do they aim to be when they leave school. She also asked them which female figures past or present inspire them. The National Women’s Law Centre posted on their Facebook account that they were honored to have joined The Duchess of Sussex, Girls Inc., and a group of amazing teens in a discussion to address real, systemic change for girls. Please keep listening  out for future podcasts on all things Meghan, Harry and Archie.

About the Lecture: International law prohibits the recruitment, use, financing and training of mercenaries. Mercenaries do not enjoy the rights of armed combatants such as to be treated as prisoners of war pursuant to Geneva Convention Norms. Notably, the Russian Criminal Code provides that the recruitment, training, financing, or supplying of mercenaries, and also the use of them in armed conflicts or hostilities is a crime. Nonetheless, the Russian Government has deployed private organizations such as the Wagner Group to advance its foreign policy goals in Ukraine, Central African Republic, Mozambique, Syria, Sudan, Venezuela, and elsewhere. Sometimes these forces play a decisive role in shifting the battlefield or political balance in limited conflicts. The Wagner Group and similar organizations are now engaged in supporting friendly regimes, securing rights to raw materials, and undermining certain governments. It is important that US National Security Managers not exaggerate the effectiveness of these forces when determining appropriate policies to pursue. In this lecture, IWP Adjunct Professor Ethan S. Burger will discuss the practical domestic Russian and international consequences of its outsourcing and/or privatizing these traditional state functions. About the Speaker: Ethan S. Burger is a Washington-D.C.-based international attorney and educator with a background in cybersecurity, transnational financial crime, and Russian legal matters. He has been a full-time faculty member at the American University (School of International Service — Transnational Crime Prevention Center) and the University of Wollongong (Australia) (Faculty of Law — Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention), and as well as an Adjunct Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center and Washington College of Law. He has taught about cybersecurity as a Visiting Professor at Vilnius University on a grant from the Fulbright Foundation and will be teaching a course during the Fall Semester at IWP on the International Law Governing Cyber Operations. Mr. Burger earned his J.D. at the Georgetown University Law Center, A.B. from Harvard University, and obtained a Certificate in Cybersecurity Strategy from Georgetown University. He will be teaching a course about the international law governing cyber-operations at the IWP during the Spring 2020 Semester.

Holywell Trust’s Brexit Focus Podcast returns for its 5th episode and this month Gerard, Paul and guests delve into the ramifications Brexit presents less than one year away from the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. Last month the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland hosted an event with the grantees of their Brexit Dialogue Fund at the MAC in Belfast. Paul spoke with Andrew McCracken, the CFNI CEO, to outline why the organisation supported groups discussing the Brexit issue. He also met with David Holloway from Community Dialogue whose findings show the double impact of Brexit and the lack of a functioning Northern Ireland Executive plus Emma Campbell and Anna Grindall of the Children’s Law Centre who enlightens us on how children near the border are being affected by Brexit.
