Okay, das stimmt natürlich, dass das so seinen Weg zum BVerfG findet, klingt aber schon ziemlich unwahrscheinlich 😅

Kleine Notiz am Rande: Sony kann vor den Bundesgerichtshof ziehen. Das ist ein anderes Gericht als das Bundesverfassungsgericht.
Der Bundesgerichtshof ist die oberste Instanz der Amts-, Landes- und Oberlandesgerichte, die sich mit Zivil- und Strafrecht beschäftigen.
Das Bundesverfassungsgericht überwacht, wie der Name vermuten lässt, die Einhaltung der Verfassung. Überprüft also ob Gesetze oder andere staatliche Maßnahmen verfassungskonform sind.
Ich bin kein Anwalt, aber spontan sehe ich keine Möglichkeit wie Sony damit irgendwie vor das Bundesverfassungsgericht ziehen könnte.

Als jemand, der aus der einzigen Stadt Deutschlands mit gelb in der Fußgängerampel kommt hatte ich ein sehr großes Fragezeichen im Gesicht 🤦

I was about to respond “but that was the Haitian police, wasn’t it?” But to be fair I don’t think that matters. You are right police was involved and that whole mess will not have led to acceptance of UN troops.

But I’m not sure if the courts are saving people from trouble because the situation in Haiti obviously reached a point where the Haitian police and government are not able to handle that kind of crime rate. Otherwise they wouldn’t have asked for outside assistance. And I think the first time they asked was about a year ago.

I would also hope that smart people have thought things through and came to the conclusion that this would be helpful the most likely and did not willy nilly decide that sending troops would be a famous idea. 🤷

I’m not going to deny the shitshow it was last time the UN sent troops to Haiti but here’s me naively hoping that this kind of mess doesn’t repeat.

On thing I read these days it’s a good thing they’re sending police officers (who are generally charged to return things to order and peace) and not soldiers (who, generally, are tasked to destroy an enemy).

Granted that’s a broad generalisation since I don’t believe UN peacekeeping troops are sent to places with the explicit orders to destroy something but I think there is a difference in the general mindset and training between police an military.

So maybe, maybe this will do some good? If Kenya is allowed to send police officers.

His games were never the gods gifts to humankind the Peter made them out to be but they were at least (almost) always novel and interesting.

So I won’t hold my breath for what he has in store but I will keep an eye on it.
