Social services have taken me to court and put my 2 daughters in foster care however they have not followed court orders are currently in contemt but I don't no what to do 

Breach of court order

As far as I know, the US has no inheritance tax as such, although you need to check individual state regulations. Which country your daughter is domiciled in? Meaning she lives more than 6 months a year in? There is where she should usually pay tax. UK, Netherlands and UK all have double taxation treaties, meaning your daughter should not be 2x or 3x taxed.  Both the UK and Netherlands have inheritance tax. So it may make sense for you to transfer the inheritance to your mother for purely financial reasons. 

US have no inheritance tax (although look at the individual state regulations where your mother resides). Both the UK and Netherlands have inheritance tax. If you pass the property to your daughter. Both the UK and Netherlands tax you on your worldwide income. So, it may make sense for you to transfer the property to your mother for purely financial reasons. 

I am wondering under what conditions I could choose the US tax regime in my will should I pass away, if I've been physically domiciled in Europe. (2010-2023 will be France, then moving back to the Netherlands in 2024--I'm 69, and don't expect to die any time soon). 

I wonder whether it might not be best to have part of my inheritance from my US domiciled mother skip a generation and go directly to my children. My daughter has three passports and resides in the UK (UK, Dutch and US). My son lives in the US. 

WOuld be grateful for an answer. 

Dual citizenship in the US and Netherlands but domiciled more than  years in the Netherlands

Good morning

I live in Cyprus
Few years ago I loaned money to someone (signed agreement)

The borrower who lived in Cyprus at the time (expat from Sri Lanka) didn't repay the loan and moved away from her Cyprus address without letting me know.

I just found out through social media that she is now living and most probably working in Dubai...but I don't know her address or place of work

Question: How to find out her address? UAE immigration? I do have a copy of her passport.

I understand that I must first get a jugement against her in Cyprus

Maybe you could recommend a private detective who could find out about her whereabouts in Dubai

Thank you!

Sincerely yours

JP Lebrat

Iranian Nationals: Sanctions and Limitations on Hiring

Throughout the years, the United States and the European Union have placed numerous sanctions on Iran, including limitations on commerce, investment, and financial activities. These sanctions are in reaction to Iran's nuclear program, human rights violations, and support for terrorism.

According to a Congressional Research Service report, the US government's current goal is to "attempt to economically isolate Iran and prevent it from gaining nuclear weapons." As part of this policy, the United States prohibits most transactions with Iran, including those involving employment.

Similarly, the European Union has placed various commercial and investment restrictions on Iran, including limitations on the export of specific commodities and technology.

According to a Congressional Research Service report, the US government's current goal is to "attempt to economically isolate Iran and prevent it from gaining nuclear weapons." As part of this policy, the United States prohibits most transactions with Iran, including those involving employment.

Following the execution of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, sanctions against Iran were lifted in the European Union in 2016. (JCPOA). Nonetheless, the EU retains significant economic and investment restrictions on Iran, including limiting exporting specific commodities and technology.


One-time Project Exemptions

While most transactions with Iran are prohibited by sanctions and limitations, certain exceptions may apply for one-time initiatives. In the United States, for example, certain transactions that are "ordinarily incident" to a licensed transaction are excluded.

Moreover, the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has released instructions on American lawyers providing legal services to Iranian clients. According to the guidelines, "US people, including US attorneys, may provide legal services to Iranian customers as long as the services are not banned by OFAC laws."

Similarly, in the EU, certain sorts of transactions, such as those involving humanitarian help and medical supplies, are excluded.


Full-Time Employment Constraints

Because of Iran's sanctions, the United States and the European Union usually ban full-time employment of Iranian nationals. American nationals are forbidden from participating in transactions, including employment, with individuals or businesses on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, which includes numerous Iranian entities and individuals, according to the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Similarly, due to Iran's sanctions, the EU bans the employment of Iranian nationals. Some Iranian individuals and businesses are subject to asset freezes and travel restrictions under the EU sanctions framework, which may limit their ability to work in the EU.

Non-Part Time Jobs Restraints 

According to the most recent data from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), US citizens and residents are prohibited from conducting transactions, including employment, with individuals or entities on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, which includes many Iranian entities and individuals.

Similarly, according to the most recent European Union statistics, certain Iranian individuals and businesses are subject to asset freezes and travel restrictions, which may limit their ability to operate in the EU.

While most transactions with Iran are prohibited by sanctions and limitations, certain exceptions may apply in the event of non-full-time projects. In the United States, for example, certain transactions that are "ordinarily incident" to a licensed transaction are excluded.


Are US or EU citizens or companies allowed to pay with Cryptocurrency, or must they transfer from a bank account? 

According to the most recent statistics from the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), US sanctions bar American citizens and businesses from engaging in most transactions with Iran, including financial transactions. Over 800 Iranian businesses and persons were on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list as of September 2021, comprising entities and individuals subject to US sanctions.

The United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), popularly known as the Iran nuclear agreement, in 2018 and reimposed a slew of economic penalties on Iran. The sanctions are intended to pressure Iran to halt its nuclear program, curb its ballistic missile operations, and stop supporting regional militias.

In addition to US sanctions, the EU has placed sanctions on Iran, including financial transaction restrictions. The EU sanctions are intended to encourage Iran to follow through on its nuclear-related obligations under the JCPOA.

While the use of cryptocurrencies as a form of payment is generally allowed in the United States and the European Union, the prohibitions on transactions with Iran imply that US and EU persons and businesses cannot use cryptocurrency to make or receive payments from Iran. This is because the United States and the European Union governments regard cryptocurrencies as a sort of financial transaction subject to the same regulations as regular financial transactions.

There have been cases when US persons and businesses have been fined for breaking sanctions by transacting in cryptocurrencies with Iran. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department sanctioned two Iranian nationals in 2019 for their participation in facilitating cryptocurrency transactions with Iranian organizations.


If the answer to the above questions is no, how can I work?

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/560.419#:~:text=The%20prohibitions%20in%20%C2%A7%20560.201,authorized%20pursuant%20to%20%C2%A7%20560.505. 

If US or EU persons or corporations are not permitted to pay with cryptocurrencies in Iran owing to sanctions imposed by the US and EU governments. 

It is crucial to highlight that the sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States and the European Union governments are complicated and open to change. To guarantee compliance, it is advised that people and businesses engage with legal professionals and financial institutions to know about the legislation and constraints.

To have work experience, can I serve for free? Are US or EU citizens and companies allowed to receive free services from an Iranian?

Persons and businesses in the United States and the European Union are subject to the same limitations on interactions with Iran, including the prohibition on most financial transactions and business activity.

Under US and EU sanctions, US and EU residents and corporations cannot obtain free services from individuals or firms in Iran since this would still be deemed a commercial transaction subject to the sanctions' limits and laws.

It should be noted that the punishments are complicated and susceptible to change, and there may be exceptions and restricted exemptions for specific types of transactions or conduct.

HI,

Dear Thu Huyen,

Hopefully, you are doing well. Can you share more details with me?

Hi, I don't know how to reply to you because I can't find the reply button. 

The thing is: My mother abuses my father for 30 years, there are people who have talked about it, but as their children, we were so stupid that we didn't realize until recently. Currently, only me are living with my parents and I want to prove to my 2 brothers that the abusive actions did really happen.

I'm thinking about record daily conversations between my parents. As far as I know, in my country, record any one without  their consent and using the recording to damage the person's reputation is illegal. Despite this, I still want to record and share it with my brothers. However, my mother can say that I only record her bad moments and don't record my father bad moments, which means what she is doing is just revenge on my father, and that she is innocent (of course, that is not the truth). 

How can I solve this situation? Please help. Thank you

Hi, I want to record my mother mentally abuses my father, but I worry she could claim that I only record the moments that she behaves badly towards my father and I don't record the moments my father behave badly towards her (which actually doesn't exist). Please help me solve this situation. Thank you

Recording a domestic abuse

I am a writer, my writings may be socail - critical and criticizing religion;

I am in Iran, if I want to write and publish, I may be arrested and even executed.
(Criticizing Islam and sacred things is a crime in Iran and some Islamic countries, the punishment may be death.)

Is there a country where I can publish my writings in peace?

A country where its people have an open mind so that I will not be attacked, A government that has freedom of speech and protects people.

If I stay in Iran, my writings may never be published.
If I make it public, at best I will be in prison or I will be killed by extremist people.

If migration becomes possible, I cannot return to my origin country, it is a choice without return and it must work.
How much money should I have so that I can live like a normal citizen, I don't want to live in a small town for refugees, I want to be in a city like the capital city, so that I can be safe.

 I am a writer,, Migration,, I am in Iran

I'm sorry to hear that Iranian banks have been sanctioned and that you're facing challenges in receiving income. Here are the answers to your questions:

The employment of individuals from Iran by US or EU citizens or companies is subject to various sanctions laws and regulations, which may prohibit or restrict such employment. You should consult with a legal expert in the specific country where you are seeking work to determine whether such employment is possible and what restrictions may apply.

There are no specific sanctions that prohibit the use of cryptocurrency for payments. However, the use of cryptocurrency is subject to various laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. US or EU citizens or companies must comply with these laws and regulations when using cryptocurrency for payments.

If the answers to the above questions are no, you may want to consider working with companies or individuals outside of the US or EU who are not subject to the same sanctions. Alternatively, you may consider working in industries that are not subject to sanctions, or pursuing self-employment opportunities.

While it's possible to offer your services for free, US or EU citizens or companies are generally not allowed to receive free services from individuals in sanctioned countries. This is because providing free services could be seen as a way to circumvent sanctions restrictions. It's important to consult with a legal expert to understand the specific sanctions laws and regulations that apply to your situation.

If you are able to work and receive payment, you may be subject to taxes in your home country. Depending on the laws and regulations of your home country, you may be required to pay taxes on income earned from foreign sources. It's important to consult with a tax expert in your home country to understand your tax obligations. US or EU citizens or companies are generally not responsible for paying taxes on behalf of non-US or non-EU individuals.

I'm from Iran, Iranian banks have been sanctioned, the only simple way to receive income is to use cryptocurrency.

1. Are US or EU citizens or companies allowed to employ a person from Iran? (Non-part-time, non-full-time, just one time projects)

2. Are US or EU citizens or companies allowed to pay with Cryptocurrency or they must transfer from a bank account?

3. If the answer to the above questions is no, how can I work?

4. In order to have work experience, can I serve for free? Are US or EU citizens and companies allowed to receive free services from an Iranian?

5. If I can work, do I have to pay taxes? Can the person who employed me pay the tax instead of me?

Can i work remotely or freelance with US or EU Im from Iran

The refusal to Pay the Money is an evidence of the Transaction between the parties.The reasons for such refusal has to be examined.

Someone owe me money and refuse to pay. Because he was supposed to build some merchandise for me. He didn't build merchandise and he didn't give my money back. 

Scam

In July 2021, Cherish Mapiro, director of CHERISH BUNUC INTERIORS LTD, which was then registered with company number 12542731 contacted me with an offer to develop their website. We agreed on a £200 fee for the whole website. The money accrued is now around £400 considering the monthly hosting fees than were being charged on my account. Not to mention all the missed obligations and time value of money.

I couldn’t cut my loses because Cherish Mapiro kept on saying she is sending the money and then she said she had send but there was a problem with her bank. It is a shame when citizens of the esteemed United Kingdom use struggling young people living for less than a $1 a day, who are trying their best to survive and put food at the table. 

PS. I have all the  communications from the start of the project up to now.

Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help many other people who are counting on me.

Introduction.
Freedom of expression is an internationally recognized human right, which has been described as foundation stone in a democratic society. It is enshrined in article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” This is echoed by the Kenya’s Constitution which states that; “Every person has the right to freedom of expression, which includes-freedom to seek, receive or impart information or ideas; freedom of artistic creativity; and academic freedom and freedom of scientific research.” Irrefutably, the right to freedom of expression underpins other human rights such as the freedom of thought, conscience and religion, allowing them to flourish. That freedom of expression in a democratic country plays a huge role in politics, is indisputable. It is upon this conceptualization that this article discusses the role of freedom of expression in Kenyan politics.
Why freedom of expression in political context? A Justification.
There are several justifications for the freedom of expression. To start with, it has been argued that this freedom enables the discovery of truth. It is through expression that people give information which is important for the good of the public. Equally, as a cornerstone for democracy, the right to freedom of expression promotes public participation. Limiting the freedom of participation is tantamount to limiting the fundamental constitutional right to public participation. People have the right to express their views on political matters without unreasonable or unjustifiable limitations. While stressing on the importance of the right to freedom to expression, the court in Robert Alai v The Hon Attorney General & another [2017] eKLR noted that the people of Kenya have a democratic right to discuss affairs of their government and leadership because of their right to freedom of expression guaranteed by Article 33 of the constitution. They cannot be freely expressing themselves if they do not criticize or comment about their leaders and public officers. The court also reiterated the decision in Manika Ghandhi Vs Union of India where the supreme court of India had stated that “Democracy is based essentially on a free debate and open discussion for that is the only corrective of government of actions in a democratic set up. If democracy means government of the people by the people, it is obvious that every citizen must be entitled to participate in the democratic process and in order to enable him to intelligently exercise his right of making a choice, free and general discussion of public matters is absolutely essential.” In view of the foregoing, it’s clear that the right to freedom of expression is very crucial in politics, in any given democratic society. There can be no self-rule without self-expression. It is difficult to imagine a guaranteed right more important to a democratic society than freedom of expression. Indeed, a democratic society cannot exist without that freedom to express new ideas and to put forward opinions about the functioning of public institutions
 
Limitations of the freedom of expression.
Whereas the right to freedom of expression is a fundamental right, it is not an absolute one and therefore cannot be used in violating of other people’s rights. But being a constitutional right, it can only be limited constitutionally. Article 24 of the constitution of Kenya 2010 states that a right or fundamental freedom in the bill of rights shall not be limited except by law, and then only to the extent that the limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom taking into account relevant factors in a case-by-case basis. This was affirmed in Robert Alai Case (supra) where the learned judge reiterated that the right to freedom of expression being a constitutional right, can only be limited in accordance with the constitution itself, and where it is limited by statute, that statute or statutory provision must meet the constitutional test of reasonableness and justifiability.
The rationale for limitations of rights and freedoms is anchored in the need to ensure that the enjoyment of the right and fundamental freedoms by any individual does not prejudice the rights and fundamental freedoms of others. Precisely, article 33 (2) of the constitution explicitly states that the right to freedom of expression does not extent to propaganda for war, incitement for violence, hate speech, or advocacy of hatred that constitutes ethnic incitement, vilification of others or incitement to cause harm; or is based on any ground of discrimination specified or contemplated in article 27 (4). Therefore, even as citizens enjoy the freedom of expression, they must be cautious not contravene the provisions of article 33 (2), as well as other laws prohibiting defamation of other people. 
Conclusion.
Freedom of expression is central in politics of any democratic country, and Kenya is not an exception. It is through this right that Kenyans get to have their say and opinions considered in governance matters. This right forms the root of public participation which is a governance principle as enshrined under article 10 of the constitution. However, the right to freedom of expression is not an absolute one and no person should violate the rights of other people claiming to enjoy the freedom.
