Happy Sunday!
I hope you all had a great week trying to figure out your stance on all issues affecting your lives these days.
I was determined not to post about the President-Elect anymore until some new story comes up, but I didn’t have much choice, most of the blogs I follow were full of predictions (but mostly yet unanswered questions) of what’s to come in world affairs.
On a more delightful note, it is Gilmore Girls week! Which coincides with Thanksgiving weekend in the US, and Black Friday all over the world. So I hope you’ll have a happy week ahead regardless of all the bad news of recent weeks, we all still have a lot to be thankful for!

Donald Trump and the UN: Will He Get Along With Secretary General Antonio Guterres?

Regret & Support, Speeches on the Court
Meanwhile at the International Criminal Court the Assembly of States Parties is digesting all the withdrawals recently. And this was before news broke that Russia would withdraw as well.

And now the protection of LGBTI rights is threatened, and Donald Trump has nothing to with it, while some African states more so.
