Euroviews. Zamira Hajiyeva’s case shows the damage that can be done when English courts are at odds ǀ View
How does the English judicial system permit, on the one hand, an English so-called ‘McMafia’ order [...] to be made against Azerbaijani national, Zamira Hajiyeva, forcing her to reveal her wealth and how it was obtained, yet, on the other hand, deny Azerbaijan’s request for her extradition.
Bulgaria
Euroviews. The Bulgarian government wants to end scrutiny of its human rights abuses. We can't let them ǀ View
I have notified the relevant authorities at the United Nations about what is taking place in Bulgaria. Activities of this type directed against human rights defenders have no place in a rule of law state, let alone an EU state.

Euroviews. The EU's misguided Iran strategy is akin to letting the fox into the hen house ǀ View
If the European Commission - and foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in particular - would have the EU assume a more active role in world affairs, they will be presented with a host of difficult choices, few of them black or white. Take, for example, the question of Iran.

Euroviews. Chris Wright: Westminster chaos shows us our electoral system is not fit for purpose ǀ View

Euroviews. World leaders at the UN and student protests are not enough to confront the climate crisis ǀ View
Because of my position, no matter what I thought of leaders like George W Bush, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin or Ignacio Lula da Silva, I would never make a face like that of young climate activist Greta Thunberg when she saw President Trump passing near her at the UN.

Euroviews. Away from the media’s gaze, Ana Brnabić is failing to advocate for LGBT equality in Serbia ǀ View
