De uitspraak “Voortbestaan van #KLM is niet vanzelfsprekend” is onbegrijpelijk. Je moet als leider het omgekeerde zeggen: De KLM was de 1e burgerluchtvaartmaatschappij ter wereld, was er altijd, zal altijd blijven. Daar vechten we samen voor maar er zijn stevige maatregelen nodig
KLM schrapt de komende twee jaar 5000 banen, bijna 15 procent van het personeel. ‘Het voortbestaan is geen vanzelfsprekendheid’, zegt topvrouw Marjan Rintel. Volgens het bestuur moet het resultaat structureel met 1 miljard euro verbeteren. Gedwongen ontslagen zijn volgens #KLM waarschijnlijk niet nodig.
De vakbonden maken zich grote zorgen. Lees meer: nieuwspost.nl/2026/11/05/klm…

The unmistakable voice of Orson Welles adds to the atmosphere of ‘Tales Of Mystery And Imagination’, but his narration wasn’t part of the original 1976 release.
Recorded for the album’s launch in Los Angeles after the record had already been manufactured, it became part of the album eleven years later. The 1987 remix introduced his narration on ‘A Dream Within A Dream’ and the ‘Prelude’ to ‘The Fall Of The House Of Usher’, bringing another dimension to the world of Edgar Allan Poe.
The 1987 remix is included in the Deluxe 3LP Bookpack, Deluxe 3CD Bookpack and Blu-ray editions of the forthcoming 50th anniversary reissue, released on 11th December. Pre-order your copy: approject.lnk.to/talesofmyst…

We have become too dependent on the digital realm; in terms of accessibility, the digital world is like a village—only one where you don’t know most of the villagers.

Just when you think the disgrace has reached its peak, US President Trump manages to express himself and behave in an even more scandalous way!
Even if the American Republic lasts for 1,000 years, nothing will ever remove the stain of this despicable man’s monstrous betrayal of everything it once stood for

Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon bit.ly/4zTGUQH

"All of us must make a choice now: between a world where might is right, or a future based on the rule of law where victims can continue to access justice." - #ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane

The Netherlands will continue to stand up for the @IntlCrimCourt. As host state and as a signatory to the ICC’s Rome Statute, we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that the Court can function effectively.
ALT Text on visual: "The sanctions that have been announced against the International Criminal Court mark a new and unwelcome escalation. This is a deeply regrettable step. We will stand firm in defence of the Court. At the same time, it’s important to note that the sanctions will not take effect immediately and that service providers can continue to work for the ICC. The six-month period before the sanctions take effect creates scope for dialogue. We welcome this and will make a serious assessment of the options available, in partnership with the other members of the ICC. " Tom Berendsen, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
I stand for human rights and the ICC!

Well done: we need brave people to protect human rights worldwide, and international law is essential to protect us all!
2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin under apartheid in Durban, South Africa, Pillay became a lawyer and legal pioneer, confronting deep structural discrimination, segregation and exclusion. A common thread runs from her early work defending Nelson Mandela and others who stood up against apartheid to her service as a judge in some of the key international court cases of our time.
This year’s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and, until recently, she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.
