Commissioner

It is about how we interact with each other – as individuals, within societies, between countries, as well as with our environment and the planet. At its heart ...

I urge you to help put the world back on track to realise the promises of enduring peace, sound development, and justice. And I am duty bound to speak out on trends that are detrimental to human rights. Young people, in particular, consistently speak in the language of human rights when giving voice to their concerns. The old authoritarianism, with its brutal limits on freedoms writ large, and the suffocating straitjacket of patriarchy. I will always be ready to listen to your concerns. At its heart is the recognition of human dignity, the need for power dynamics and relationships to be based on respect. We have more in common than we think. And most recently, the fight for our lives – for environmental and climate justice. I am committed to principled and practical engagement with States. The list is long. Anti-racist and anti-apartheid struggles, and further back, the struggle to end slavery. The great wave of independence movements, which pushed back against foreign domination, colonisation and exploitation.

Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is nominating Bryan Cafferelli to serve as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.

“I know he will bring those qualities to the Department of Consumer Protection and serve as a superb commissioner and advocate for consumers.” He has also previously worked as special deputy assistant state’s attorney for the Office of the State’s Attorney in the Judicial District of Stamford, and as chief of staff and legal counsel for former Lt. “I have worked with Bryan in his role as counsel for the Senate Republican caucus and have always found him to be highly knowledgeable, fair, and dedicated,” Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Previously, he served as a drug control attorney for the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection from April of 2017 to January of 2019. “The Department of Consumer Protection has an important function of not only protecting residents from unfair business practices and unsafe products, but also enforcing federal and state laws to ensure a fair and safe marketplace for everyone,” Cafferelli said. Cafferelli currently serves as legal counsel of the Connecticut Senate Republican Office, where he has worked since January of 2019.

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has submitted more than 50 official complaints to Russia's Human Rights Commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova during his ...

Moskalkova was sanctioned for publicly denying that Ukrainians had been forcibly deported to Russia from Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, the EU said when it announced the full list of those being sanctioned. The opposition politician has frequently condemned his treatment at the hands of the prison colony staff, having been forced to spend weeks at a time in cramped solitary confinement cells and no longer being allowed to receive visits from his family. "Navalny, like any other person in his position, having been convicted, must have a full package of rights: conditions of detention, access to a lawyer, the opportunity to work.”

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo chose Zonka for the post. She will have to resign her seat as a county commissioner.

In a letter to County Manager Frank Abbate and County Commission Chair Rita Pritchett, seeking the commission's concurrence of Zonka's appointment, Ladapo said Zonka "has an excellent and diverse background in all aspects of public health, and has demonstrated her ability as a skilled leader." This will be the second time in a year that a County Commission seat became vacant. Altman is a current Florida House member, representing District 32 in central Brevard, but cannot seek reelection to the House because of term limits. Zonka would succeed Maria Stahl, who retired in May 2022 as administrator at the Department of Health. Before that, Zonka served on the Palm Bay City Council for seven years, starting in 2007. Zonka has been in health care since 2008. "I think it's the perfect balance between public service and health care." Zonka and the four other county commissioners all are Republicans. Ladapo said he felt Zonka "will be an asset to the Florida Department of Health and Brevard County as their new Health Department administrator," and is "the best candidate for the people of Brevard County." The next regular election for the seat is in 2024, and Zonka would not have been able to run then because of term limits. Ron DeSantis could appoint someone to fill the vacancy, because there are less than 28 months remaining in her term. Brevard County Commissioner Kristine Zonka has been selected to be administrator of the Florida Department of Health in Brevard.

Later, the commissioner visited various departments of the hospital. He said bus operators had also been asked to ensure the schedule of arrival and departure of buses and wagons so the passengers would not face any difficulty. The commissioner was given a briefing about the ongoing construction work at the RIUT. He said sanitation staff had also been deployed to clean the area round the clock and to ensure cleanliness of washrooms. He said crowds at stalls were not only causing traffic jams but were also a security concern which needed to be addressed immediately.
