How does the Amsterdam court ruling on LVV funding relate to the recent Changu ruling by the EU's highest court?

The termination of LVV funding, while fulfilling a political promise, contradicts a recent EU court ruling (Changu, September 12, 2024) establishing a government's obligation to prevent destitute conditions for undocumented non-EU nationals. The Amsterdam court's decision to reinstate LVV funding highlights this conflict, emphasizing the legal right to basic necessities, not merely discretionary charity.

How does the intersection of race and gender affect experiences of discrimination in Germany, according to the report?

The rise in discrimination complaints highlights systemic issues in German society. Racism disproportionately affects migrants, particularly young people in schools lacking adequate support. Women, especially those of color or wearing traditional Muslim attire, face widespread harassment and discrimination in public spaces and the workplace, including biased treatment from medical professionals. This underscores the intersectional nature of discrimination, where race and gender compound negative experiences.

What legal challenges does Germany face concerning its arms exports to Israel, and what is the impact of these challenges on export levels?

Germany's arms exports to Israel, totaling \$520 million since October 2023, are under scrutiny. A Nicaraguan lawsuit at the International Court of Justice alleges Germany's complicity in genocide. While a request to halt exports was rejected, the court did not dismiss the case. This follows Germany being a top arms supplier to Israel, accounting for 30% of major arms imports between 2019 and 2023, according to SIPRI.
