🧵Major developments re: Donald Trump’s designs on Greenland: Greenland's official genocide report finds a reasonable basis to believe Denmark violated the Genocide Convention by implanting Greenlandic girls with birth-control devices without consent.

Now other countries party to the Genocide Convention — maybe even the U.S. — can file a formal Genocide Convention claim. This case is going forward.

Greenland immediately announces formation of a “reconciliation” commission. Major ammunition for Donald Trump’s bid to end Denmark’s control of Greenland. One of Europe’s main moral arbiters… is now in the box.

Here is key paragraph from today’s report.   "The authors have determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe that the physical act of imposing measures to prevent births under Article II(d) of the Genocide Convention have occurred in Kalaallit Nunaat since 1960. These acts were carried out by people under the state’s employ and thus under the authority of the Danish state and can be attributed to the state under international law. In circumstances where the state knew, or ought to have known with due diligence, that physical acts contrary to Article II(d) were carried out, even without the requisite intent, then the state’s responsibility to prevent genocide is triggered. The responsibility to prevent requires that the state take all measures within its power to prevent those acts from being carried out. There is a reasonable basis to believe that Denmark has failed in its duty in this regard, contrary to its obligation under Article I of the Genocide Convention 1948."

Trump just gained some major leverage. See here: opsdesk.substack.com/p/followup-rep…
