(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) Panama's Supreme Court
116Views 0Comments Posted 17/10/2021 Share
Panamanians are mute witnesses to the progressive deterioration of the country's institutions, especially our justice system. It's not that we don't have laws; we have many, but they are dead letters, they are not applied and that, obviously, has consequences for the country, which does not come out of those color lists. The World Justice Project has revealed the state of our justice and the rule of law, vis-à-vis the rest of the world. In the global index, Panama ranks 71 out of 139 countries measured, and 15 out of 32 countries in Latin America. But when the variables are analyzed individually, the positions are disgraceful. For example, when asked about the absence of corruption, Panama falls to position 91 out of 139 and worsens on the issue of criminal justice: position 110 out of 139. In other words, this country is also a criminal paradise, the dream paradise of the corrupt, for there is no danger of punishment. Hopefully, the two new appointments of the Executive to the Supreme Court of Justice - whose ratification process in the National Assembly begins this week - correct course, as the intentions of other magistrates appointed in 2019 seem to be. There is much at stake, such as the reputation of Panama, which is no small thing. – LA PRENSA, Oct. 17.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The United States and Russia announced Monday that a landmark "cessation of hostilities" in war-torn Syria will take effect on February 27.
In a joint statement, the two countries said Saturday's partial truce would begin at midnight Damascus time (2200 GMT Friday) and would apply to parties to the conflict that have committed to the deal - but not to the Islamic State group or Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliate.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been working with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to secure an agreement, welcomed the deal.
"If implemented and adhered to, this cessation will not only lead to a decline in violence, but also continue to expand the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian supplies to besieged areas and support a political transition to a government that is responsive to the desires of the Syrian people," Kerry said in a statement.
A halt in hostilities in Syria would come after five years of brutal civil war that has killed more than 260,000 people and seen half the population displaced, including over four million overseas.
Parties wishing to be included in the agreement have until noon Damascus time (1000 GMT) Friday to inform Russia or the United States of their intention to honor the ceasefire.
In return, the groups would be assured of protection from Russian and US-led coalition planes. The two powers are pursuing separate air wars in Syria, with Russia pounding rebel targets and the coalition focused on the IS group.
"The United States and the Russian Federation together call upon all Syrian parties, regional states and others in the international community to support the immediate cessation of violence and bloodshed in Syria and to contribute to the swift, effective and successful promotion of the UN-facilitated political transition process," said the joint statement, released by the US State Department.
The Pentagon stressed that any ceasefire would not alter the US-led coalition campaign against the IS group.
"ISIL has not been party to this," Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said, using an alternate acronym for the IS group.
"Our operations will continue as they have. The coalition will continue to strike against ISIL."

(MENAFN- IANS) Kolkata, Nov 28 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) now wants to investigate Sehgal Hosain, the bodyguard of Trinamool Congress heavyweight Anubrata Mondal and also one of the prime accused in the alleged multi-crore cattle smuggling case in West Bengal, in connection with an explosives case in the state.
Both Hossain and Mondal are currently serving judicial custody at Tihar jail in New Delhi with regard to the alleged cattle smuggling scam.
A team of NIA officials will soon visit Tihar jail and question Hossain there, sources said.
They want to question Sehgal in connection with a previous case in relation to the recovery of 81,000 detonators from a passenger-van in the Muhammadbazar area of Birbhum district on June 30, 2022.
The detonators were seized by the sleuths of the Special Task Force (STF) of state police.
Three persons were also arrested by the STF sleuths in this connection, the first from Raniganj area in West Burdwan district and the other two from Dhuliyan area in Murshidabad district.
The NIA took charge of the investigation on September 29 of the same year and filed the charge sheet in the case within 90 days after the beginning of the investigation.
In July this year, the NIA sleuths also arrested a local Trinamool Congress leader from Birbhum Manoj Ghosh. It is learnt that the use of detonators is quite common in pockets of Birbhum, which houses a number of stone quarries.
The detonators are used to blast stone blocks in the area for the purpose of use in stone quarries.
However, this was the first time that detonators of such a huge quantity were recovered from the district. This made the investigation sleuths doubt that such a huge quantity was taken with any other purpose.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) The Bihar education department's new holiday calendar for 2024 has ignited a fierce debate, with the exclusion of holidays for Hindu festivals like Hartalika Teej, Rakshabandhan and Jitiya, juxtaposed against the extension of holidays for Muslim festivals, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha (Bakrid), now set at three days each. Furthermore, the summer vacation period has been significantly elongated, soaring from 20 to 30 days.
This decision has triggered protests from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has launched a scathing attack on the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government. The BJP accuses the government of reducing holidays for the state's schools during Hindu festivals while augmenting them for Muslim festivals, sparking allegations of religious bias.
Union Minister Ashwini Choubey minced no words, labelling Nitish Kumar as the "chief of appeasement" and asserting that the "anti-Hindu face" of the grand alliance has once again surfaced. Choubey went on to allege that the Bihar government is sacrificing Hindu traditions for political gains, stating, "On one hand, holidays for Muslim festivals are being extended in schools, while holidays for Hindu festivals are being abolished."
Adding fuel to the fire, firebrand BJP leader and Union minister Giriraj Singh took a swipe at the Nitish Kumar-led government, provocatively referring to the state as the 'Islamic Republic of Bihar.' Singh accused the government of favouring Muslim festivals at the expense of Hindu festivals.
This controversy echoes a similar incident earlier this year when, in an order dated August 29, the government initially slashed the number of holidays for the state's schools from 22 to 8 over the next five months. However, facing massive opposition, the order was swiftly withdrawn.
In response to the current uproar, the director of secondary education issued a notification, stating,“The August 29 order comprising the holiday list in government primary, middle, and secondary schools is cancelled with immediate effect,” signalling a reconsideration of the controversial decision. The situation remains tense as political and public discourse intensifies over the perceived religious bias in the education department's holiday calendar.

A team from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) has made an urgent intervention following a report of the death of a dolphin at Al Dhakira beach, the Ministry said in a series of tweets Friday. The team inspected the body and took the biological measurements of the animal and it found to be of 227cm length and 70cm height, MoECC said.
The animal is identified as a large, old male dolphin, the type of dolphin that is common in the Pacific and Indo-Pacific region. There were no signs on it that indicated it had collided with a ship or stuck in a fishing net. But it was found that the dolphin with a slender body has lost 7 teeth on each side of the jawbone and that indicates that it had died of starvation or old age.
After completing the necessary measurements, the body was buried and the location was recorded so that it could be retrieved in the future.
The Ministry called upon seafarers to report such cases as soon as they were spotted, to take the necessary measures and follow up actions on occurrences related to the marine environment in the State of Qatar.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said on Wednesday that Madrid was open to providing Ukraine with German-made Leopard 2 tanks, after Germany agreed to send the tanks and allowed NATO allies to do the same.
That's according to reuters , Ukrinform reports.
According to her, the Spanish government will act in coordination with its Western allies to help Ukraine fend off Russia's invasion.
'Spain is willing, within this coordination, to work with our allies to do whatever is necessary including the sending of Leopards, training in the use of these Leopards and also to help in their maintenance and upkeep,' Robles said.
According to security and defense researcher Felix Arteaga of the Elcano think-tank, Spain has 108 Leopard 2A4 tanks. The 2A4 is an older, standard model for many European countries, and Ukrainian tank crews can receive standard training on them.
He noted that about half of Spain's tanks are in its north African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, and 53 are mothballed at a military base in Zaragoza and would need to be refitted.
A source with knowledge of the matter said Spain had already assessed the overhaul needs, that both Germany and Ukraine agreed with the cost, to be paid from a special fund, and estimated the tanks could be operative within two months.

Some are in a worse condition than the others, having been used for spare parts, the source added.
In late 2022, Spain delivered its largest package of defense materiel for Ukraine to date, sending to the logistics hub in Poland heavy weapons, long-range and anti-tank ammunition.
Spain has sent four U.S.-made HAWK air defense systems and has committed to sending two more. It is also offering medical treatment to wounded Ukrainian soldiers, and air defense training at its air base in Toledo.

Doctors also underline that the general check-up is especially important this year, as the pandemic is seemingly slowing down but still simmering.
Dr Puneet Wadhwa, a specialist pediatrician with Prime Hospital, opines,“Apart from a general check-up physical fitness can be evaluated whether the child is ready to join school or not. Additionally, if child is taking any prescription medicine or any vitamins, that can be refilled.”
He adds,“parents can also consider if a child is eligible for Covid-19 vaccine or not. Since, the Covid vaccine is available from the age of five, parents can think of getting their child vaccinated before their ward joins school.”

The lawsuit filed by the United States securities and exchange commission (SEC) against Binance could harm the cryptocurrency exchange's business prospects in South Korea.
According to a report in a South Korean newspaper, the Financial Service Committee (FSC), the country's financial regulator, is examining Binance's acquisition of the local cryptocurrency trading platform Gopax.
In February, Binance acquired a majority stake in Gopax to reenter the South Korean cryptocurrency market after a two-year absence.
Reportedly, the FSC has suspended Gopax's March 7 executive change report, citing the recent SEC lawsuit.
The report described the nomination of three Binance members, including the CEO of binance asia pacific , as inside directors of Gopax.
In its review of the Gopax acquisition, the FSC stated that it was challenging to approve the acquisition request at this time, given the allegations of securities law violations and the SEC's repeated requests to freeze Binance.US holdings.
One of the executives from FSC stated that it is crucial to consider the SEC's litigation, adding that:
Binance's acquisition of Gopax was not only about the crypto exchange's reentry into South Korea but also about the revival of the troubled local crypto trading platform.
Gopax ceased principal and interest withdrawals from its decentralized finance service GoFi in November 2022, following the demise of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange and the bankruptcy of digital asset financial services firm Genesis.See also gemini, genesis seek dismissal of sec's lawsuit 2 weeks ago
According to reports, the Digital Currency Group, the parent company of Genesis, was Gopax's second-largest shareholder and a significant business partner supplying its GoFi product.
The acquisition agreement by Binance promised to inject new funds into the Gopax exchange for user withdrawals and GoFi interest payments.
In its lawsuit against Binance, the SEC alleged that the cryptocurrency exchange commingled customer funds and violated numerous securities laws.
The SEC has filed thirteen counts against the exchange , its subsidiaries, and its chief executive officer.

Coupa Picks up Amid Earnings, Possible Buyout
Coupa Software (NYSE:COUP) gained ground Friday morning, on top of its 28.9% Wednesday surge, following a Bloomberg report that private equity firm Vista Equity Partners was considering a buyout of the company.
Earlier this month, Coupa announced quarterly earnings of $2.91 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.63 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.70 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 10.65%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this holding company for Panama's national airline would post earnings of $0.27 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.32, delivering a surprise of 18.52%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Coupa Holdings , which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Airline industry, posted revenues of $809.45 million for the quarter ended September 2022, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.83%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $445 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Coupa's gain was 60 cents to $87.05.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) As part of the multinational military training operation, Operation Interflex, Ukrainian psychologist officers have completed a five-week combat stress control training course in the United Kingdom.
The relevant statement was made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook , an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Ukrainian military personnel on the front line face an extremely heavy psychological load and stress. Deaths, injuries, loss of comrades, heavy shelling – these are the realities that our soldiers on the front line have to see and experience,” the report states.
Therefore, a training course for professionals who help soldiers overcome combat stress was developed and implemented by joint efforts of Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
The programme includes a theoretical and practical two-week phase, when psychologists work closely with the Ukrainian military, undergoing training in other Operation Interflex courses.
British instructors teach Ukrainians to effectively work with psychologically traumatized service personnel, psychologically restore and rehabilitate them, as well as provide psychological first aid.
In addition, this is a unique opportunity to share experiences. Ukrainians tell the British about the realities of the war, and the British share their experience of working with veterans who have gone through combat and suffered post-traumatic stress disorders but under different circumstances.
Following the results of the pilot course, the parties agreed to train more than a hundred psychologist officers under this program next year.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine expressed gratitude to the United Kingdom for its support and assistance.

Fisheries officials and environmentalists are concerned that an Iranian tanker that sank over the weekend in the East China Sea after burning for more than a week might trigger one of history's worst-ever oil spills at sea.
The resulting damage in the marine resources rich area could be immense, USNI News .
The Iranian-owned tanker Sanchi collided on January 6 with a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship CF Crystal while sailing to South Korea with a cargo of nearly 1 million barrels of a highly combustible fuel substance called condensate.
Large oil slicks have reportedly been detected in the area where the tanker sank. 32 crewmen are .
Experts cited in a National Geographic say it's hard to tell how much of the fuel condensate will ultimately end up in local waters because condensate burns off fast versus other heavy fuels. But it's possible that some of Sanchi's tanks were still full when the ship sank.
Despite the disaster, the next oil shipment between Iran and South Korea is reportedly getting ready to sail.

Tesla Misses On Quarterly Delivery Numbers
Electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA) has reported third-quarter delivery figures that missed Wall Street expectations.
The company run by Elon Musk blamed the lower-than-expected deliveries on planned maintenance shutdowns and upgrades at its manufacturing plants around the world.
As a result, Tesla, which is scheduled to report quarterly results on October 18, delivered 435,059 vehicles in the three months ended September 30, down 7% from the previous quarter.
Analysts who cover the company had forecast deliveries of 459,949 vehicles for the latest quarter, according to an LSEG poll.
Tesla said that its production in the quarter took a hit as it carried out planned upgrades at its factories to roll out a newer version of its Model 3 electric sedan.
The company produced 430,488 vehicles in the third quarter, versus 479,700 in the previous three-month period.
Despite missing expectations, Tesla maintained its target to deliver 1.8 million vehicles for all of this year.
Deliveries of the updated and higher-priced Model 3 are expected to begin in the current fourth quarter, while a Cybertruck launch event is planned by year's end.
Tesla has been cutting prices aggressively in recent months to counter a slowing automotive market and fend off competition from rival automakers such as Volkswagen (VLKAF) and Toyota (TM).
In the just completed third quarter, Tesla cut prices of its premium Model S and Model X electric vehicles by as much as 21% in the U.S. and China.
Tesla's stock has increased 4% in the last 12 months and currently trades at $251.60 U.S. per share.

(MENAFN- AFP) The EU competition commission has approved a 5.4 billion euro bailout of Italy's troubled Monte dei Paschi di Siena (BMPS), the world's oldest bank, as part of a major overhaul.
The decision, announced in a statement Tuesday, comes days after Brussels accepted that Italy could inject up to 17 billion euros ($19 billion) to break up two insolvent Venetian banks.
Public bailouts were supposed to be a thing of the past after the eurozone created a banking union with specifically designed rules to keep taxpayers from having to bail the banks out.
Founded in Siena in 1472, BMPS has been in deep trouble since the eurozone debt crisis and will now be owned by the Italian state, which has ended up with a 70 percent stake.
EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said the capital injection had been approved, noting it would "help BMPS meet capital needs" if economic conditions worsen unexpectedly.
The bailout is part of a rescue that the EU approved last month after BMPS failed to raise capital on the markets last year.
In exchange for the lifeline, Italy must accept a drastic EU-approved restructuring plan for BMPS that reports say involves up to 6,000 job cuts out of a total of 25,000.
The Commission said on Tuesday the plan would involve salary caps for senior managers and a demand that the bank reconfigure its business model toward a smaller retail clientele.
The plan will also see 26.1 billion euros in troubled assets set aside in a so-called "bad bank".
Weakened by the disastrous purchase in 2007 of the Antonveneta bank, BMPS quickly drifted into scandal when its management team was accused of fraud and misuse of funds.
In addition to the bailout, authorities have also forced the bank's private lenders to become shareholders.

(MENAFN- AFP) Ukrainians led by President Petro Poroshenko on Thursday donned the country's traditional embroidered dress -- a yearly celebration that has become a manifestation of national identity and unity.
On a visit to an EU-Eastern Partnership in Riga, Poroshenko was photographed wearing a colourful folk-style shirt for "Vyshyvanka Day", named after the national clothing, while Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko wore an embroidered dress.
Many members of parliament sported similar traditional garments during Thursday's session, as did thousands of other Ukrainians, according to AFP journalists.
"It fills me with joy to see Ukrainians, large and small, joyfully wearing this national garment. For us, it is our pride and a symbol of our homeland," Jaresko said on her Facebook page.
In Mariupol, the last major city in war-torn eastern Ukraine that is still under control of Kiev, more than 200 people gathered wearing the traditional clothing.
"Being a Ukrainian patriot is much harder in Mariupol than Kiev or Kharkiv," said Natalia Tioukhay, a 57-year-old librarian, referring to the proximity of her town to rebel territory.
The day of the "vyshyvanka" created a buzz on social networks, which were full of photographs of Ukrainians wearing the garments at home and abroad.
The Ukrainian embassy to the Vatican even announced on Twitter having offered such attire to the pope.
Members of the Canadian embassy in Kiev as well as the UN Refugee Agency also posted group photos in embroidered shirts on their Facebook pages.
The day is not an official holiday in Ukraine, but it is increasingly celebrated amid rising patriotism since mass protests last year ousted a pro-Russian president and triggered a pro-Moscow insurgency in the east.

AMMAN – UNHCR launched its fourth“With Refugees” winter bazaar on Sunday in collaboration with IKEA Jordan in Amman.
Between December 3 and 13, approximately 60 refugees and refugee-supporting initiatives from around Jordan will be selling handmade products and artefacts such as soaps, food, home décor, accessories and holiday gifts, according to UNHCR.
UNHCR stated that all proceeds will go directly to the refugee and Jordanian vendors who come from a range of nationalities and live throughout the Kingdom.
UNHCR Representative in Jordan Dominik Bartsch expressed his happiness for launching the bazaar, noting that UNHCR holds the bazaar twice a year.
“The bazaar is a very important event for us, as it does not only showcase the creativity and business spirit of our refugee community, but it is also an important way of generating income for refugee families who are looking for additional opportunities to support themselves,” Bartsch said during his opening remarks.
Bartsch noted that this year, for the first time, the bazaar has representatives from every refugee camp.
“We are pleased to have both refugees, as well as Jordanians, demonstrating their skills and artistic talents,” he said.
Fahed and Raghad, siblings and refugees from Syria, have modernised an old Damascene craft using seashells and wood to create handmade products.
“We use simple tools and create different products to showcase our heritage to everyone,” Fahed told The Jordan Times.
They indicated that such events, like the bazaar, help them make money and market their products.
Maxim Abdulkarim, another Syrian refugee who lives in Amman, creates accessories that showcase Arab and bedouin heritage.
He expressed how happy he is to be part of the bazaar.
“It is always nice to participate in bazaars, as it is beneficial for us,” he told The Jordan Times.

Battle with Governor Aside, Disney Plans to Spend Billions
Despite its battle with Gov. Ron DeSantis, Disney (NYSE:DIS) remains committed to the state of Florida.
The media and theme park juggernaut is set to invest $17 billion in central Florida's Walt Disney World hub over the next decade, which includes the potential creation of 13,000 jobs.
Those figures have been repeated by CEO Bob Iger and parks chief Josh D'Amaro over the past few months, as tensions between Disney and Florida lawmakers have continued to ratchet up. The fight has taken on even more significance now that DeSantis is officially running for president.
In April, the company filed a lawsuit accusing DeSantis and the new board members of its special district of carrying out a campaign of political retribution against the entertainment giant.
DeSantis targeted Disney's special district, formerly called the Reedy Creek Improvement District, after the company publicly criticized a controversial Florida bill - dubbed“Don't Say Gay” by critics - that limits discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms.
“We never wanted, and we certainly never expected, to be in the position of having to defend our business interests in federal court, particularly having such a terrific relationship with the state as we've had for more than 50 years,” Iger said during the company's earnings call earlier this month.
Disney recently scrapped plans to open up a new employee campus in Lake Nona, Florida, citing“changing business conditions.” This means the company also will no longer be asking more than 2,000 California-based employees to relocate to Florida. That location was not part of Disney's $17 billion investment plan.
DIS began Friday up in price 88 cents, or 1%, to $89.01.

(MENAFN- AzerNews) By
New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman claim the New York State will bring a legal action against US President Donald Trump if he scraps the program allowing undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United State as children to avoid deportation, Sutnik reported.
The New York State will bring a legal action against US President Donald Trump if the White House scraps the program allowing undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United State as children to avoid deportation, New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said Monday in a joint statement.
On Friday, the White House announced that the US president would deliver the final decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) on September 5. According to media reports, Trump was determined to terminate the program.
"Recent reports indicate that President Trump will be ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy. If he moves forward with this cruel action, New York State will sue to protect the 'dreamers' and the state's sovereign interest in the fair and equal application of the law," Cuomo said.
According to the governor, abolition of the program will affect thousands of people it protects, often referred to as "Dreamers," including some 42,000 New York residents.
"President Trump's decision to end the DACA program would be cruel, gratuitous, and devastating to tens of thousands of New Yorkers - and I will sue to protect them. Dreamers are Americans in every way," Schneiderman added.
The New York State attorney general argued in the statement that the immigrants protected under DACA in New York State alone pay over $140 million to the state and federal coffers in taxes, and they constitute a crucially important part of the community.
The DACA program grants temporary residency and work privileges to immigrants that were brought to the United States illegally as children. The program was established in 2012 via an executive order signed by then US President Barack Obama. Under DACA, minors who entered the country illegally can receive renewable two-year deferrals on deportation proceedings, as well as permits to work in the United States.
Some 750,000 people were granted the deportation deferrals in the United States under the DACA program. Over a half of them live in the states of California and Texas.
