FIDH has chosen to hold this event in Turkey, and dedicate it to the issue of viewing political transition from a human rights perspective. Turkey is currently at a crossroads, with peace negotiations under way with representatives of the Kurdish people, after many years of bloody conflict. Turkey is also closely observed by governments in Middle East and North Africa, who have themselves only recently assumed power and are currently undergoing the process of political transition. The Forum will foster exchange between human rights defenders and organisations from over one hundred countries. Participants will debate challenging impunity, strengthening justice, supporting institutions and NGOs, the place of religion, the role of women as drivers for transition, the rights of minorities, the promotion of economic and social rights, and the role of private businesses and international financial institutions in transition periods. Alliances will be developed and strategies for action identified on these key challenges. Copyright © Worldwide Movement for Human Rights Page 4/20 Political Transitions from a Human Rights Perspective: Experiences and Challenges Programme MorningThursday (09:00-12:30) 23 May 2013 Plenary Session Opening session Be_ir Atalay, Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Türk Hükümeti'nin resmi web sitesi Turkish Government's official website Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH president As a journalist and author, Souhayr Belhassen has always aspired to « give voice to the voiceless », whether it be through activities in her profession or through her involvement with human rights. As a correspondent for Reuters and Jeune Afrique, she was the first in 1978 to highlight in the columns of Jeune Afrique, the existence of a strong Islamist element in Tunisia. But her most important contribution was leading a campaign for the Ligue tunisienne de défense des droits de l'Homme (LTDH), to save 18 young Tunisians who had been condemned to death for having taken part in the bread riots of 28 January 1984. As the author of Bourguiba, one of the benchmark biographies on the former Tunisian leader (co-written with Sophie Bessis), she saw her book banned in Tunisia under Bourguiba's rule. As an active member of Association tunisienne des femmes démocrates (ATFD) since its inception in, Souhayr Belhassen has always made women's rights central in her fight for human rights. Her work Femmes du Maghreb (also written with Sophie Bessis), describes the plight of women in the countries of her region, including her own. In 1993, in a petition supporting Algerian women, Souhayr Belhassen denounced the shameful silence of the Tunisian regime regarding its neighbour's situation, and for using the alibi that the Tunisians' relatively privileged position prevented them from taking action. As a result of this petition, she was expelled from Tunisia and lived in exile for five years. When Souhayr Belhassen returned to Tunis, she founded a weekly cultural magazine the "7sur7" which lasted for only a short time. In 1998, Tunisian authorities managed to block outside financing for the « 7sur7 », causing it to become bankrupt. Under Ben Ali's dictatorship, Souhayr Belhassen, like many Tunisian defenders of human rights, was constantly harassed for her activism (attacks, phone tapping, being followed, mail surveillance, etc.) In spite of all that, this tireless fighter for basic human rights in her country remains involved in many other battles on the international front. Elected vice-president of the La Ligue tunisienne des droits de l'Homme (LTDH) in 2000, Souhayr Belhassen joined the International Board of the Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l'Homme (FIDH) in 2004, at the Quito Congress. She became President of FIDH in April 2007, at the Lisbon Congress and was re-elected in 2010 at the Yerevan Congress. As head of FIDH, Souhayr Belhassen is making the rights of migrants and of women among the top priorities of the organisation. In this context, FIDH is launching two important campaigns for the protection of women's rights in the Arab region and in Sub-Saharan Africa. FIDH is also making inroads through its presence and activities in Asia and in Eastern Europe. An office was opened in Bangkok in 2010, and Souhayr Belhassen conducted several missions in the area, notably in Cambodia. The 37th FIDH Congress held in Yerevan (Armenia) in 2010, marked, among other things, the beginning of FIDH activities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

  • The Feminist Movement in the Moroccan Spring: Roles, Specificity, and Gains
    Sociology Study, December 2015, Vol. 5, No. 12, 895‐910 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2015.12.001 DAVID PUBLISHING The Feminist Movement in the Moroccan Spring: Roles, Specificity, and Gains Mohammed Yachoultia Abstract The Moroccan Spring in 2011 has been a golden opportunity for Moroccan women to put their country on the democratization track. Their decision to take an integral part in all aspects of the uprisings stems from their belief that their participation and contribution are necessary for any potential democratic changes that would undoubtedly secure and bring them more rights. However, the appointment of only one female minister in the first Islamist‐led government and the reluctance to implement the provisions of the new constitution, namely the issue of gender parity, are but two of the new alarming examples that have disappointed Moroccan women. Based on interviews with women’s movement organizations’ leaders and 20 February Movement (20‐FMVT) female activists and through following the development of the Arab Spring in Morocco in particular and in the Middle Eastern & Northern Africa region in general, this paper considers the different roles, specificity, and gains of Moroccan women during and after the so‐called Moroccan Spring. The paper argues that despite their limited gains in the aftermath of this momentum, Moroccan women managed once again to prove their agency and ability to change laws and instigate reforms. Keywords Moroccan women, Arab Spring, 20 February Movement (20‐FMVT), democracy Anyone familiar with Moroccan women’s Northern Africa) region (the best examples to mention achievements in the last two decades will not be here are the family and the Nationality Codes), surprised by their active role in the “Moroccan Spring”.

  • Violations of the Right of Ngos to Funding: from Harassment to Criminalisation
    2013 “The topic of this year’s report is most pertinent as lately we have witnessed increased stigmatization and undue restrictions in relation to access to funding and resources for civil society organizations, in REPORT ANNUAL an attempt to stifle any forms of criticism, especially calls for democratic change or accountability for human rights violations. [...] I am particularly dismayed about laws or policies stigmatizing recipients due to their sources of funding, which have been adopted in the past months or are under consideration, Violations of the right in several countries across the world”. “I am confident that the Observatory report and my work in this field will be complementary and of NGOs to funding: mutually beneficial. I hope our joint efforts will succeed and will pave the way for better respect of the right to freedom of association, especially its core component, the access to funding and resources, in all parts of the world. It is ultimately the obligation of Member States to fully protect this right, OMCTFIDH - from harassment which shall be enjoyed by everyone”. Maina Kiai, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association. to criminalisation The Annual Report 2013 of the Observatory provides a global review of the violations of the right of NGOs to funding. It provides a detailed picture of this as yet little studied problem, the growing Foreword by Maina Kiai dimension of which is a worrying concern. This picture is illustrated with around thirty country situations affecting human rights organisations. While recalling the legal basis of this right, as well as its organic relationship with the right to freedom of association and the embryonic jurisprudence on this subject, the report stimulates deep reflection on the negative impacts of these restrictive measures and makes concrete recommendations to all relevant stakeholders (beneficiaries, donors, governments and intergovernmental organisations).

Nul hôte du pays, nul invité d'une ambassade, nul participant à une réunion ayant la Tunisie pour théâtre ou objet n'échappe à la distribution d'une abondante documentation vantant ses mérites et les progrès qu'elle a enregistrés. Les femmes et leur condition occupent une place de choix dans cette littérature qui brandit comme un étendard la singularité tunisienne en ce domaine par rapport au reste du monde arabe et à une bonne partie du monde musulman. Les textes de ces livrets, qui insistent tous sur « l'égalité en droits » dont est censée jouir la femme tunisienne, sont accompagnés d'une iconographie sur laquelle il n'est pas inintéressant de se pencher. Les références à la tradition y sont rarissimes et ne concernent guère que le monde paysan dont les femmes sont le plus souvent photographiées la tête couverte de leur foulard.
