The International Court of Justice has ordered Myanmar to make wholesale reforms at the drop of a hat, wielding a stick of shame rather than a ladder of support.
An ancient practice to prevent the spread of infectious disease looks likely to make a comeback in modern-day Australia. Here’s the rationale behind quarantining Australians returning from Wuhan.
