HRC47: Multilateral action is needed to address the human rights crisis in Cameroon Format Excellencies, We, the undersigned civil society organisations, are deeply concerned over ongoing grave human rights violations and abuses in Cameroon. Ahead of the Human Rights Council’s (“HRC” or “Council”) 47th session (21 June-15 July 2021), we urge your delegation to support multilateral action to address Cameroon’s human rights crisis in the form of a joint statement to the Council. This statement should include benchmarks for progress, which, if fulfilled, will constitute a path for Cameroon to improve its situation. If these benchmarks remain unfulfilled, then the joint statement will pave the way for more formal Council action, including, but not limited to, a resolution establishing an investigative and accountability mechanism.
FOR Back in 2004, the Austin Firefighters Association (IAFF Local 975), then led by future City Council Member Mike Martinez, won voter approval to exercise the collective bargaining rights available to police and fire unions under Texas law.

The ballot language drafted by city lawyers implies that

Coming on the heels of the BlueLeaks hack of national intelligence " fusion centers" that we've covered at the Chronicle, recently published documents reveal that the Austin Regional Intelligence Center continued its monitoring of numerous events this summer connected to the Black Lives Matter movement. As obtained by Austin Police Department as legitimate, the events that ARIC reported on included an online Juneteenth festival. ARIC, which is operated by APD, is one of many fusion centers recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As a response to the perceived failures of intelligence-sharing that enabled the 9/11 attacks, centers like ARIC were designed to "fuse" information gathered by local law enforcement agencies and the private sector that could help avert terrorism and criminal activity. The two "Informational Bulletins" obtained by The Intercept were published in June and July, after the BlueLeaks hack became public. They contain 24 event listings connected to BLM, along with two
