When a member of a UN peacekeeping force is accused of sexual exploitation or abuse, the United Nations can investigate administratively, send the person or the whole unit home, and support the victim. It cannot put the accused on trial. Under the status-of-forces arrangements t…

New Zealand set its school attendance target as one national figure — 80 percent attending regularly by 2030 — while ERO counted 18 percent of Māori students chronically absent against 10 percent nationally in Term 2, 2024

In 2024 the New Zealand Government adopted Government Target 6: by 2030, 80 percent of students should be attending school regularly, meaning present for more than 90 percent of the term. The baseline was 59.5 percent in Term 1, 2023. The target is written as one national figure.

The Crime Victims Fund held more than $3.7 billion as of July 2026 against a fiscal 2026 obligation cap of $1.95 billion, and a budget rule CRS described in 2024 counts such a gap as an offset in the federal budget

The federal Crime Victims Fund is not paid for out of general tax revenue. It is filled by federal criminal fines, by money paid under deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements, by forfeited bail bonds and by gifts. What it may actually pay out in a given year is not s…

As of 2026-09, federal Medicaid may not pay for the care of an inmate of a public institution outside three statutory exceptions — a 2024 law barred ending enrollment at incarceration and, CMS wrote, left that payment exclusion unchanged

As of the Auditor General's 2025-12-11 assessment, the asset safety factor deposit in Alberta's oil sands mine reclamation security program had never been triggered since 2011, the department had never evaluated the test, and a 2015 recommendation on valuing mine assets was not implemented

Alberta requires oil sands mine operators to post financial security against the cost of closing and reclaiming their mines, through the Mine Financial Security Program, which began in 2011. The program does not ask for security equal to the full reclamation cost. The Office of …

New Zealand sets child poverty targets in law and asks every Budget to say whether it moves them. The Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018 requires the government to set ten-year and three-year targets on four primary measures: material hardship, low income before housing costs, low…

Australia committed to 10 extra days of mandated fuel stockholding and about 1 billion litres of government-owned reserve by 2030 — the August 2026 consultation paper states there is little to no spare jet fuel storage capacity and limited spare diesel capacity, and the model it puts out for consultation leaves building and owning that storage outside government

헌법재판소는 2024-08-29 결정에서 탄소중립기본법 제8조 제1항을 헌법불합치로 판단하고 계속적용 시한을 2026-02-28로 정했습니다. 병합된 헌법소원은 4건이고 청구인은 청소년·시민단체·영유아 등입니다. 결정은 2031년부터 2049년까지 19년간의 감축목표에 대해 「정량적 수준을 어떤 형태로도 제시하지 않았다」는 점을 헌법불합치의 이유로 들었습니다.
