«The number of victims was in the double digits during the investigation, but now reduced to seven. The rest of the allegations are dropped,» Høiby’s attorney, Petar Sekulic, told Fox News Digital. «Høiby is taking the accusations very seriously, but insists that the allegations are incorrect.»

Several outlets also reported that the Royal House of Norway said that the case was proceeding through the legal system and it had nothing to offer, though the palace has not yet replied to Fox News Digital.

Tribunal de la ONU abrió la puerta al pago de indemnizaciones a países afectados por el cambio climático

Published

on


En una opinión consultiva que puede influir en la jurisprudencia global, la Corte Internacional de Justicia (CIJ) dictaminó este miércoles que los Estados que violen sus obligaciones climáticas cometen un acto “ilícito” y pueden estar obligados a pagar indemnizaciones a los países más afectados por el calentamiento global.

El dictamen de la más alta instancia judicial de la ONU sobre las obligaciones legales de los países para frenar los efectos del cambio climático y la responsabilidad económica, generó una gran expectativa. Muchos expertos creen que la opinión de los magistrados puede marcar un punto de inflexión para litigios en todo el mundo.

“Las consecuencias del cambio climático son graves y tienen un gran alcance: afectan tanto a los ecosistemas naturales como a las poblaciones humanas. Estas consecuencias ponen en relieve la amenaza urgente y existencial que supone el cambio climático”, declaró el presidente del tribunal, Yuji Iwasawa, al inicio de la audiencia en La Haya.

Cuáles son las conclusiones del fallo

El tribunal concluyó por unanimidad que la “violación” de las obligaciones climáticas por parte de un Estado constituye “un acto internacional ilícito”, susceptible de dar lugar a indemnizaciones a los países afectados, en determinadas condiciones y según cada caso.

“Las consecuencias jurídicas derivadas de la comisión de un acto internacional ilícito pueden incluir (…) la reparación íntegra del perjuicio sufrido por los Estados lesionados en forma de restitución, indemnización y satisfacción”, declaró el juez Iwasawa.

Sin embargo, los magistrados agregaron que debe establecerse una relación causal directa y cierta “entre el acto ilícito y el perjuicio”, lo cual, aunque difícil de demostrar ante un tribunal, “no es imposible”.

Este dictamen de 140 páginas es de carácter consultivo y no vinculante, pero al ser emitido por la máxima autoridad judicial de la ONU, establecerá una interpretación jurídica sólida para guiar futuras acciones o decisiones judiciales de todo el mundo, en términos de justicia climática.

“Un hito histórico para el clima”

El ministro de Cambio Climático de Vanuatu, Ralph Regenvanu, afirmó que esta decisión es “un hito histórico para el clima”.

“Es un cambio de rumbo muy importante en este momento tan crítico”, afirmó el ministro de este Estado insular, donde la movilización de activistas llegó hasta la Asamblea General de la ONU, que pidió a los 15 jueces del tribunal que se pronunciaran con respecto a dos preguntas:

Advertisement
  1. ¿Qué obligaciones tienen los Estados, en virtud del derecho internacional, de proteger la Tierra de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero generadas por la combustión de petróleo, gas y carbón para las generaciones presentes y futuras?
  2. ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias jurídicas de estas obligaciones cuando los Estados, por sus actos y omisiones, han causado daños significativos al sistema climático, en particular a los Estados insulares vulnerables de baja altitud?

La segunda pregunta se refiere a las responsabilidades de los Estados por los daños causados a países pequeños y más vulnerables y a sus poblaciones, en particular los amenazados por la subida del nivel del mar y las condiciones meteorológicas extremas en regiones como el océano Pacífico.

“Con respecto a la obligación de prevenir daños significativos al medio ambiente, el Tribunal considera que también se aplica al sistema climático, que forma parte integrante y es un componente esencial del medio ambiente y que debe protegerse para las generaciones actuales y futuras”, afirmó el juez Iwasawa.

El magistrado agregó que “los efectos adversos del cambio climático podrían perjudicar significativamente el disfrute efectivo de ciertos derechos humanos, como el derecho a la salud”.

Una lucha entre países poderosos vs. naciones en desarrollo

Durante sus audiencias, en diciembre, el tribunal escuchó más de cien alegatos, un récord. Muchos procedían de Estados pequeños que comparecían ante el tribunal por primera vez.

Como si fueran David contra Goliat, el debate enfrentó a los pequeños países en desarrollo contra las economías avanzadas.

Los grandes países contaminantes, como Estados Unidos e India, argumentaron que el arsenal jurídico existente -la Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) y las COP anuales- era suficiente. Sin embargo, Estados Unidos, bajo la presidencia de Donald Trump, retiró su financiación de la CMNUCC y se desentendió de su pacto histórico, el Acuerdo Climático de París.

Los pequeños países reclaman a los contaminadores históricos que paguen compensaciones, una demanda inaceptable para los países más industrializados. También exigen un calendario para la eliminación de los combustibles fósiles y el reconocimiento de los errores del pasado.

China experimenting with brain-computer interfaces in global race for AI dominance: report

Published

on

China is reportedly working to cognitively merge humans with machines as part of its ongoing efforts to compete in the artificial intelligence race.

The communist country is using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology — systems that allow for communication between the brain and an external device — to «augment human cognition and human-machine teaming,» The Washington Times reported, citing a presentation from Georgetown experts delivered to U.S. officials.

These include invasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive BCIs, according to The Washington Times.

Invasive BCIs involve surgery to implant electrodes into the brain, while non-invasive BCIs use sensors on the scalp to monitor brain activity. Meanwhile, minimally-invasive BCIs involve implanting devices, but they do not penetrate brain tissue, according to a report in the National Library of Medicine.

The U.S. has primarily focused on building up language models to develop AI technology. However, China is going against traditional thinking about how to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) — a type of AI that has the ability to perform as well as or better than a human being in cognitive tasks, according to William Hannas, lead analyst at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

«There are all kinds of possibilities out there, but if you want human equivalent AI, you’re not going to get it just by increasing the parameters [of models],» Hannas told The Washington Times.

Hannas, who formerly worked for the CIA, collected Chinese government documents that contained information about the country’s AI funding plans for this year and last year. The plans include several brain-inspired AI approaches, The Washington Times reported.

Additionally, Chinese state-run media have quoted statements saying the future involves making AI a physical part of humans, according to the Washington Times.

China’s innovation in artificial intelligence is «accelerating,» Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, told Fox News Digital in April. But he maintained that the United States remains the world’s dominant power in AI and the Trump administration’s «promote and protect» strategy will solidify that standing. 

Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
