4·19 hours agoThe bigger difference is whether the system is inquisitorial or adversarial. I’m guessing AES countries are inquisitorial because of the French influence.
The role of public prosecutors may differ depending on the legal tradition adopted in a particular country. Two types of legal traditions dominate the nature of investigation and adjudication around the world: adversarial and inquisitorial legal systems. Common law countries use an adversarial system to determine facts in the adjudication process. The prosecution and defence compete against each other, and the judge serves as a referee to ensure fairness to the accused, and that the legal rules criminal procedure followed. The adversarial system assumes that the best way to get to the truth of a matter is through a competitive process to determine the facts and application of the law accurately.
The inquisitorial system is associated with civil law legal systems, and it has existed for many centuries. It is characterized by extensive pre-trial investigation and interrogations with the objective to avoid bringing an innocent person to trial. The inquisitorial process can be described as an official inquiry to ascertain the truth, whereas the adversarial system uses a competitive process between prosecution and defence to determine the facts. The inquisitorial process grants more power to the judge who oversees the process, whereas the judge in the adversarial system serves more as an arbiter between claims of the prosecution and defence
IMO a more inquisitorial system is necessary but not sufficient for a revolutionary society

I’ve also tried Rigs of Rods, which is a simulator for all sorts of vehicles. I haven’t spent too much time with that because it doesn’t have built-in joystick support So I need to get a program for linux where I can keymap joystick buttons
With both of the games, I think it would be really fun if you could select a character/pilot, and then use the multiplayer options for a virtual hangout-type thing

The energy minister stressed that these discoveries open new horizons for economic development and support the kingdom’s ability to meet local and global energy demands efficiently and sustainably for decades to come.

Rare China L, but not unique
Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the U.S, posted on X that Kissinger’s death was “a tremendous loss for both our countries and the world” and that “he will always remain alive in the hearts of the Chinese people as a most valued old friend.”

For context, Brazilian police is known for being extremely violent, shooting unarmed people, throwing suspects from bridges and even killing suspects with an improvised gas chamber;
Some military police also train with the IDF, so it tracks

Exactly. From a military perspective, Greenland is already a de facto part of the US empire. Trump will probably try to pay off the populace so they vote the correct way in a referendum. It’s not like Greenland is full of Danish nationalists
