Congress subpoenaed McGahn in April 2019 to testify about potential obstruction of justice by the administration. But, at the behest of the administration, McGahn has refused to comply, arguing that as a former executive branch official, he is "absolutely immune" from congressional subpoena.
In justice to the nations and the men associated in this prosecution, I must remind you of certain difficulties which may leave their mark on this case. Never before in legal history has an effort been made to bring within the scope of a single litigation the developments of a decade, covering a whole continent, and involving a score of nations, countless individuals, and innumerable events. Despite the magnitude of the task, the world has demanded immediate action. This demand has had to be met, though perhaps at the cost of finished craftsmanship. To my country, established courts, following familiar procedures, applying well-thumbed precedents, and dealing with the legal consequences of local and limited events seldom commence a trial within a year of the event in litigation. Yet less than 8 months ago today the courtroom in which you sit was an enemy fortress in the hands of German SS troops. Less than 8 months ago nearly all our witnesses and documents were in enemy hands. The law had not been codified, no procedures had been established, no tribunal was in existence, no usable courthouse stood here, none of the hundreds of tons of official German documents had been examined, no prosecuting staff had been assembled, nearly all of the present defendants were at large, and the four prosecuting powers had not yet joined in common cause to try them. I should be the last to deny that the case may well suffer from incomplete researches and quite likely will not be the example of professional work which any of the prosecuting nations would normally wish to sponsor. It is, however, a completely adequate case to the judgment we shall ask you to render, and its full development we shall be obliged to leave to historians.

The unique aspect of the emerging work on the epigenetic effects of DDT is that we now have good reason to believe that DDT will negatively affect future generations. This raises questions of intergenerational environmental justice. Environmental justice concerns the distribution of burdens and benefits on individuals via practices that affect our environment. In her work, Kristin Shrader-Frechette identifies the focus of environmental justice as being on the disproportionate burdens faced by socially disempowered individuals and groups (e.g., the poor and racial and ethnic minorities) [27, 28]. There are now many accounts of these individuals and groups suffering the ill effects of environmental degradation. DDT use in the developing world looks set to be yet another case in that sad history. Some evidence suggests that the current generation is harmed by exposure to DDT. The recent work cited above indicates health hazards for descendants of those exposed now. Thus, the harm will only fully emerge over the course of a number of generations. This is why DDT use is also an issue of intergenerational justice.
Doomsday developed in one of the harshest habitats in all of existence: prehistoric Krypton. Through cloning technology, the infant continually returned to life and evolved, becoming resistant or immune to whatever killed him before, ultimately permanently acquiring the capability to regenerate and evolve without technology. After the Radiant killed him the first time they fought, Doomsday grew immune to the Radiant's energy-projection and even managed to withstand Darkseid's full Omega-Effect.[1] The amount of damage dealt to Doomsday determined the length of time it took for him to fully recover. During his outwardly undamaged death at Superman's hands, he only needed some days to recover, but when Imperiex reduced him to a skeleton, it took months. His entombment in a Calatonian burial suit and metal vault lasted hundreds of millennia. After being killed by the Radiant and subsequently undergoing the impact of the casket on Earth, his body was sealed underground in total darkness. Deprived of solar energy, necessary to nourish his Kryptonian anatomy, he could only revive extremely slowly and naturally.[citation needed]
Payment for ecosystem services (PES) provides incentives for land restoration and SLM (medium confidence) (Lambin et al. 20141328; Li et al. 2018; Reed et al. 20151329; Schiappacasse et al. 20121330). Several studies illustrate that the social costs of desertification are larger than its private cost (Costanza et al. 20141331; Nkonya et al. 2016a1332). Therefore, although SLM can generate public goods in the form of provisioning ecosystem services, individual land custodians underinvest in SLM as they are unable to reap these benefits fully. Payment for ecosystem services provides a mechanism through which some of these benefits can be transferred to land users, thereby stimulating further investment in SLM. The effectiveness of PES schemes depends on land tenure security and appropriate design, taking into account specific local conditions (Börner et al. 20171333). However, PES has not worked well in countries with fragile institutions (Karsenty and Ongolo 20121334). Equity and justice in distributing the payments for ecosystem services were found to be key for the success of the PES programmes in Yunnan, China (He and Sikor 2015). Yet, when reviewing the performance of PES programmes in the tropics, Calvet-Mir et al. (2015), found that they are generally effective in terms of environmental outcomes, despite being sometimes unfair in terms of payment distribution. It is suggested that the implementation of PES will be improved through decentralised approaches giving local communities a larger role in the decision-making process (He and Lang 2015).
