  • France 2019 Human Rights Report
    FRANCE 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY France is a multiparty constitutional democracy. Voters directly elect the president of the republic to a five-year term. They elected Emmanuel Macron to that position in 2017. An electoral college elects members of the bicameral parliament’s upper house (Senate), and voters directly elect members of the lower house (National Assembly). Observers considered the 2017 presidential and separate parliamentary (Senate and National Assembly) elections to have been free and fair. Under the direction of the Ministry of the Interior, a civilian national police force and gendarmerie units maintain internal security. In conjunction with specific gendarmerie units used for military operations, the army is responsible for external security under the Ministry of Defense. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: criminal defamation laws and societal acts of violence and threats of violence against Jews, migrants and members of ethnic minorities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons. The government took steps to investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who committed human rights abuses. Impunity was not widespread. Note: The country includes 11 overseas administrative divisions covered in this report. Five overseas territories, in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and La Reunion, have the same political status as the 13 regions and 96 departments on the mainland. Five divisions are overseas “collectivities”: French Polynesia, Saint-Barthelemy, Saint-Martin, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Wallis and Futuna. New Caledonia is a special overseas collectivity with a unique, semiautonomous status between that of an independent country and an overseas department.

  • Parliamentary Support for the State of Emergency in France
    Parliamentary support for the state of emergency in France An analysis of how the French parliament and government renewed the state of emergency between November 2015 and December 2016 Marianne Chagnon 5828546 Utrecht University 3 August 2017 A Thesis submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Studies & Human Rights 1 Supervisor: Dr. Chris van der Borgh Date of submission: 3 August 2017 Programme trajectory followed: Research Project & Thesis Writing (30 ECTS) Word Count: 26,297 2 Abstract This thesis aims to understand the way the French parliament debated and voted to renew the state of emergency that was implemented by the French government in the night following the Paris attacks of November 2015. As it is quite a recent topic – the state of emergency was just renewed for five more months as of July 2017 – it is interesting to understand how a liberal democracy can implement such an exceptional system to fight a threat that is, in itself, not new. Indeed, it was not the first time that terrorist attacks happened in France, thus it raises questions as to why France keeps renewing this state of emergency, and most importantly what it is. As will be discussed in this thesis, the state of emergency gives exceptional prerogatives to the administrative authorities, facilitating and accelerating procedures and enabling them to take measures that would normally require judiciary approval. Because it is facilitating procedures, it has indeed helped the French authorities to prosecute suspected terrorists, to gather more proof through police raids, to keep dangerous people monitored under house arrests, and to prevent masses from being potential targets for terrorist attacks by prohibiting demonstrations.

  • 4S/EASST Barcelona 2016
    4S/EASST Barcelona 2016 Science & technology by other means: Exploring collectives, spaces and futures August 31-September 3, CCIB #4sEASST2016 EASST / 4S 2016 Presidents’ Message Us donem la benvinguda a Barcelona! ¡Os damos la bienvenida a Barcelona! It is our great pleasure to open the program for the EASST/4S 2016 conference, exploring the multiple places and possibilities for enacting ‘Science + technology by other means’. Every four years, beginning in 1984 in Ghent, Belgium, the European Association for Science and Technology Studies (EASST) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) have held joint conferences. We see the relationship between EASST and 4S as that of complementary sister societies, and welcome the opportunity to deepen and expand that relationship through these confluences of our membership. This year, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of a collective of colleagues within the Spanish STS network, we come together in Barcelona to enjoy both intellectual and cultural replenishment at the EASST/4S Conference BCN 2016. We are particularly grateful to the sts2016bcn organizing and scientific committees, who have worked with tremendous commitment and care to accommodate as many STS scholars as possible within the limits of even the spacious Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona. As interest in STS continues to grow, this conference saw an overwhelming response to the call, with over 2500 abstracts submitted. While this is a good problem to have, it is a real one as it implies that not all of those who wish to participate can be included, however creatively the organizers approach the challenge of expanding space and time.
