▼ + stars: | 2024-12-04 | by ( Tim Lister | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —The reach and credibility of international law is at its lowest in years as governments dismiss arrest warrants in some of the most high-profile cases to come before the International Criminal Court. Paris had fervently supported the Putin warrant, and reiterated its “longstanding commitment to supporting international justice” after the Netanyahu warrant was issued. The founding treaty of the ICC obliges the 124 signatory countries to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant, according to James Joseph, managing editor at Jurist News. The Biden administration’s criticism of the Israel warrants was as emphatic as its support for the Putin warrant. South Africa, an ICC member, ignored a warrant for the arrest of then-Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir in 2015 when he visited.

☆ France no-confidence vote: Michel Barnier likely to be ousted, deepening country’s crisis
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-04 | by ( Lauren Kent | Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —French lawmakers will vote Wednesday on a no-confidence motion that is widely expected to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier, as the country grapples with a deepening political crisis and massive budget deficit. The no-confidence vote is the just the latest jolt on a political rollercoaster in France, where no single party has wielded a majority in parliament since snap elections in July. No government has been ousted in a no-confidence vote since 1962 and Barnier would become France’s shortest-serving prime minister in history. This gridlock has made the government’s budget problems much harder to solve. The credit rating agency expects France’s budget deficit to reach 6.2% of GDP by the end of the year.

The Oat - Bund spread, as the two respective sovereign bonds are known, shows the negative sentiment investors have toward French government bonds relative to German government bonds. It comes after Barnier said he would force through cuts in social security, to lower the government's 6% budget deficit, without a vote.

Now, a new facet from South Korea is poised to make a splash in investors' portfolios — defense stocks. Sang Hun Seok, who is an Indo-Pacific visiting fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a U.K.-based policy think tank, explained to CNBC that a steady increase in global expenditure, combined with growing geopolitical uncertainties has provided South Korean arms makers with larger global markets. Chosun Ilbo said that just four countries were importing South Korean arms in 2022, but this number rose to 12 in 2023. The appetite for South Korean arms can be explained by the mantra of "cheaper, better, faster." RUSI's Seok said simply: "South Korean exports are highly cost-efficient."

People take part in a rally to demand South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's removal from power, in Seoul, South Korea, December 4, 2024. South Korean lawmakers on Wednesday called for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol after he declared martial law only to reverse the move hours later, triggering the biggest political crisis in decades in Asia's fourth-largest economy. Yoon told the nation in a TV address that martial law was needed to defend the country from nuclear-armed North Korea and pro-North anti-state forces, and protect its free constitutional order, although he cited no specific threats. The military said activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command. But within hours of the declaration, South Korea's parliament, with 190 of its 300 members present, unanimously passed a motion requiring martial law be lifted, including all 18 members present from Yoon's party.

"Freshman enrollment dropped by a dramatic 5% this fall in the aftermath of the FAFSA fiasco, reversing previous gains," said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. Submitting a FAFSA is one of the best predictors of whether a high school senior will go on to college, according to the National College Attainment Network. "FAFSA completion and college enrollment move in the same direction — that relationship is pretty consistent," said Bill DeBaun, NCAN's senior director.

If Mr. Yoon quits or is removed from office then, under the constitution, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will step in to perform presidential duties. Mr. Yoon, a conservative, came into office after winning the 2022 presidential election by a threadbare margin, and appointed Mr. Han as the prime minister that year. Mr. Han began his career as a civil servant in the early 1970s, working on trade and industrial policy for decades. From 2009 to 2012, Mr. Han was South Korea’s ambassador to the United States.
