FTC chief vows to 'restore justice' as court clears way for Coupang probe
Digital Desk | Seoul, Sep 29 (IANS) The chief of South Korea's antitrust watchdog said on Tuesday he will work to estore justice after a local court recently cleared the way for the agency to resume its stalled probe into U.S.-listed e-commerce giant Coupang. Ju Biung-ghi, head of the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), made the remarks during an interview with local radio broadcaster CBS, signalling the agency's intention to resume its investigation, reports Yonhap news agency. Last month, Coupang refused to cooperate with the watchdog's on-site probe into allegations the company had shifted the costs of discounts onto its suppliers and asked a court to suspend the inspection. The court initially granted a temporary suspension of the FTC's on-site inspection but eventually rejected Coupang's request to halt the probe last week. (Coupang) deals with various vendors, and the company could be subject to regulatory action if it has imposed unfavourable terms on them, Ju said. It is a relief the judge handling the case ruled in favour of the public interest, including the rights of the economically vulnerable and hundreds of thousands of small merchants, he added. We will continue to make efforts to restore justice undermined by the stalled probe into Coupang. At a press conference this month, Ju described the court's disruption of the FTC's investigation as egrettable. Meanwhile, Coupang swung to a net loss in the second quarter from a year earlier due to fines related to a massive data breach. In the three months that ended in June, the U.S.-listed company shifted to a net loss of 865 billion won (US$570 million) from a net profit of 43.5 billion won in the same period last year, it said in a press release. Coupang, which generates most of its revenue from its Korean operations, has faced strong public backlash following the disclosure of a data breach in November 2025 involving more than 37 million customers.

The conviction rate in attempted rape cases dropped from 9.3 per cent in 2024 to 5.1 per cent in 2025. Four of 43 cases ended in convictions in 2024, while only two of 39 cases did so in 2025. Cases of assault on women with intent to outrage modesty saw a marginal decline from 3.8 per cent in 2024 to 3.6 per cent in 2025.

Supreme Court Justice Alito recuses himself from climate case involving oil companies
By John Kruzel WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not participate in an upcoming case involving a bid by oil companies to scuttle a lawsuit seeking to hold them liable for helping fuel climate change, a court official said on Monday. Alito owns stock in several oil and gas companies but not Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, the two companies involved in the dispute to be heard by the court on October 5. He had initially declined calls from watchdog and environmental groups to recuse. Alito stepped aside when the litigation reached the court at an earlier stage in 2023. Alito is one of the most conservative justices on the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority. Lawyers for the oil companies and those representing officials in Boulder, Colorado, who sued Exxon and Suncor in 2018, were informed on Monday of Alito's recusal in a letter from Scott Harris, clerk of the Supreme Court. Harris did not provide a rationale, stating only, I am writing to inform the parties that Justice Alito has determined that he will not continue to participate in this case. The dispute, which will be heard on the first day of the court's new term, could determine the fate of dozens of state and local climate-related lawsuits against fossil fuel companies. According to his most recent financial disclosure, Alito's holdings includestock in ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, which are defendants in separate but similar climate-related lawsuits. The upcoming Supreme Court case involves whether federal law precludes certain claims under state law seeking damages for harms allegedly caused by the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The justices also directed the parties to address whether the court has jurisdiction to decide the case at this stage. President Donald Trump's administration has backed Exxon and Suncor, arguing that federal law precludes Boulder's claims.

He noted that while international cooperation is strongest in the early stages, cross-border confiscation, enforcement of foreign orders and repatriation are areas where cases often slow down. The ED Director proposed that, where members are able to share such information, ARIN-AP should also track th...

87-YOS Cry For Justice Rocks Spain: Maricarmens Eviction Sparks Mass Protests
That emotional appeal from 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal has now become a rallying cry across Spain.

When I was about 6, my parents and I were thrown out of the Principals Office (?) at Calcutta Boys School which was the best boys school in Kolkata, India. It was the family interview, a required step, after the written test that I had cleared, before admission into Grade 1. I still remember the commotion after what I thought was a stellar performance on my part. I claim to have floored everyone with three fully formed, and grammatically correct, English sentences in pucca accents as I was made to repeat ad-infinitum in the days prior.

UNGA targets borderless crime, online scams
Digital Desk | United Nations, Sep 27 (IANS) Cambodia, India and other countries have called for stronger international cooperation against online scam centres, terrorism, trafficking and criminal networks that use technology and cross-border financial systems to operate beyond the reach of individual governments. The warnings at the UN General Assembly reflected an expanding definition of international security. Speakers said threats were no longer confined to conventional warfare and could move across borders through mobile phones, financial channels and loosely connected criminal organisations. Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn said artificial intelligence and digital innovation could speed development but could also fuel insecurity, inequality and transnational crime when misused. Cambodia had made the fight against online fraud one of our highest national priorities, he said. The country was strengthening its laws and institutions and increasing operations against scam centres and the criminal groups running them. But the networks were spread across countries and could not be dismantled by domestic action alone. No country can succeed alone, Sokhonn said. Cambodia recently hosted an international conference on online scams with support from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Interpol and other organisations. Sokhonn called for coordinated national, regional and global action to disrupt and eliminate scam operations. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar told the General Assembly that terrorism remained a persistent threat to international peace. He described state-sponsored cross-border terrorism as a direct affront to the global order and said there could be no weakening of zero tolerance towards terrorism. EAM Jaishankar also warned that the misuse of artificial intelligence was sharpening bias and eroding mutual respect. His remarks placed the abuse of new technology alongside longstanding concerns about extremist networks and state support for terrorism. Colombia called for countries to agree on a common legal definition of terrorism. It also sought greater intelligence-sharing, judicial cooperation and action against terrorist financing. The absence of a universally accepted definition has complicated international efforts to prosecute offenders, disrupt funding networks and distinguish terrorism from other forms of violence. The Dominican Republic warned that criminal organisations in neighbouring Haiti controlled territory, trafficked weapons and people and recruited children. President Luis Abinader said those networks threatened regional peace and security. He called for the full deployment of an internationally authorised force, which he said had received only a fraction of its required personnel. Seychelles said transnational organised crime, drug trafficking and illegal fishing were damaging its economy and security. President Mathew Herminie called for stronger intelligence-sharing, wider maritime surveillance and practical law-enforcement assistance. Small countries responsible for policing extensive ocean territory could not be expected to meet the same standards as wealthier states without receiving the necessary equipment and resources, he said. The Philippines drew attention to trafficking and exploitation affecting migrant workers. Foreign Secretary Theresa Lazaro said migrants were entitled to human rights protections regardless of their status and required greater safeguards along dangerous migration routes.
