African leaders have adopted a strategy calling for a collective withdrawal from the international criminal court. The non-binding decision came behind closed doors near the end of an African Union was the latest expression of impatience by African leaders with the court, which some say has focused too narrowly on Africa while pursuing cases of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Some African countries have been especially critical of the ICC for pursuing heads of state. ]]> 2017-02-01 00:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/123171/xsa9ygomk8eu/wish/150718017 123171 https://padlet.com/123171/xsa9ygomk8eu/wish/150718226 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-30/philippines-to-disband-police-anti-drugs-units/8222016?section=world  
The Philippines police will disband anti-drugs units following the killing of a South Korean businessman by rogue officers, but President Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to forge ahead with his war on drugs until the last day of his term.  Mr Duterte said police who had been subject of internal investigations should be reassigned to work in conflict zones. He told the news conference he underestimated the depth of problem, and promised the crackdown would continue until the end of his six-year presidency. Police deny that and say the killings have been in self-defence.

Hundreds of new refugees and migrants, many of them children, are arriving in Serbia every day despite the prospect of sleeping rough in sub-zero temperatures and reports of violent treatment, Save the Children has said, as it calls on the EU to do more to help.The EU-Turkey deal, which was supposed to stem the flow of refugees arriving in Europe by boat, has meant many refugees are being forced to take a deadlier land route to cross the Balkans, with children as young as eight experiencing harsh weather conditions, dog bites and violent treatment by police and smugglers.  Although Serbia is not part of the European Union, it borders Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, and has become a transit point for those hoping to reach western Europe. In the past two months, Save the Children estimates that 1,600 cases of illegal push-backs from Hungary and Croatia have been alleged by refugees and migrants, who have been forced – often violently – back into Serbia, despite already having crossed its border.This week, the Serbian authorities made additional temporary space available to get people off the snowy streets and into shelters. The charities have warned, however, that it still far from enough to meet the needs of people who are sleeping rough.]]> 2017-02-01 00:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/123171/xsa9ygomk8eu/wish/150718457 123171 https://padlet.com/123171/xsa9ygomk8eu/wish/150718887 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/world/europe/eastern-ukraine-civil-war-russia.html?ref=world&_r=0
