02.12.2024The Day The World Court Met Climate's Call
The International Court of Justice in The Hague began hearing Vanuatu's unprecedented climate liability case, examining nations' obligations regarding global climate impacts. The case, described as potentially the largest climate trial in human history, dominated morning coverage.

By midday, domestic focus shifted to the Council of State's rejection of the government's box 3 tax reform proposal, forcing a return to the drawing board for savings taxation. This development added pressure to the already strained Schoof cabinet.

The French government crisis received increasing attention as Premier Barnier's budget push threatened government stability. Syrian coverage continued from previous days, with new analysis of Assad's weakening position and rebel advances. The evening brought controversy at TU Eindhoven, where an Israeli professor's lecture moved online following protests, marking another instance of campus tensions over the Middle East conflict.
