Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

Brazil’s top electoral court found no alleged fake news in the WhatsApp channel “Exército do Lula,” created by federal deputy André Janones.

ESA’s Hera spacecraft is due to reach the Didymos asteroid pair in November after travelling for just over two years.

The pair includes Didymos and its smaller moonlet, Dimorphos, which NASA’s DART spacecraft struck in 2022.

Hera will take close-up views of the pair and examine the impact’s effects.
