Spanish Authorities Failed to Address Livestock Pollution in Lima River for Over a Decade, Court Rules

Spanish Authorities Failed to Address Livestock Pollution in Lima River for Over a Decade, Court Rules

Spanish authorities, specifically the Xunta de Galicia and Spain’s river basin authority, have been found by the High Court of Justice of Galicia to have violated residents' fundamental rights by failing to rectify increasing water degradation in the Lima/Limia river. This pollution, primarily from pig and poultry mega-farms in Galicia, has led to high levels of nitrates and harmful bacteria, threatening ecosystems and the health of those living along the river, which is shared with Portugal. The court ruled in July 2025 that authorities knew about the contamination for over a decade, with a 2016 hydrological plan warning of potential cross-border contamination into Portugal. Independent sampling at the Lindoso reservoir, conducted with researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid, revealed potentially toxic cyanobacteria at bloom levels and high concentrations of bacteria likely originating from livestock. Despite the court order for immediate action, including a moratorium on new livestock farms...

ECOWAS Convenes Technical Review for ECOVISA Portal to Streamline West African Travel

ECOWAS Convenes Technical Review for ECOVISA Portal to Streamline West African Travel

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission recently held a Technical Review Meeting in Dakar from November 10 to 12, 2026, focusing on the ECOVISA Portal. This initiative aims to create a single regional visa for non-ECOWAS citizens, similar to the Schengen visa in Europe. The meeting brought together officials from immigration, visa policy, foreign affairs, information systems, and border operations from ECOWAS Member States, along with technical experts. The ECOVISA is designed to address a long-standing gap in the region's free movement architecture, as ECOWAS citizens already enjoy visa-free travel within the region since 1979, but external visitors must obtain separate visas for each member state. The discussions at the meeting covered the portal's operational readiness, accessibility, multilingual requirements, and potential interoperability with national immigration, identity, border management, and payment systems. Participants also documented country-specific legal, policy, ...

OECD Reports Second Consecutive Annual Decline in Migration to Developed Countries, U.S. Sees 14% Drop

Migration to developed countries decreased for the second year in a row in 2025, according to a report released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The 38 member countries of the OECD collectively received 6.1 million new permanent immigrants in 2025, marking a 1.6 percent reduction from the 6.2 million recorded the previous year. Despite this decline, the overall number of permanent immigrants remains 12 percent higher than in 2019. The report indicates a significant 26 percent drop in humanitarian migration through legal channels in 2025 compared to 2024, while labor migration saw a 13 percent increase. The United States experienced a 14 percent decrease in permanent immigrants but still accepted the highest number among OECD nations, exceeding 1.2 million in 2025. Conversely, some countries like Portugal, Spain, and Italy saw notable increases due to policy changes and backlogs in permit approvals. Asylum applications to OECD countries, excluding the U.S., also fell by ...
