NOUVELLES DES AUTRES RESEAUX
La Coalition ERPC applaudit l'adoption du cadre Rom par les chefs d'Etat européens
As Europe’s Romani population prepares for the possibility of another summer of targeted
expulsions and evictions, the European Roma Policy Coalition (ERPC), of which ENAR is a member,
has welcomed the endorsement on 24 June by EU heads of government of the EU Framework for
National Roma Integration Strategies. The Framework commits all 27 member states to
developing targeted policies which systematically tackle the socio-economic exclusion of and
discrimination against Roma people throughout the EU. The ERPC will monitor how well the
European Commission and member states convert the Framework’s human rights commitments
into tangible and ambitious strategies and assess their implementation, with an initial deadline of
the end of this year for developing national strategies. Pour en savoir plus (uniquement disponible

ILGA-Europe se félicite du rapport du Conseil de l’Europe sur les discriminations sur base du
genre et de l’orientation sexuelle
On 23 June, the Council of Europe (CoE) launched its social-legal report on discrimination on the
grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. This is the first ever report covering all 47
member states of the Council of Europe on a range of human rights issues that are pertinent to
lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people. ILGA-Europe warmly welcomes this significant
report which not only maps the legal situation but also highlights the social attitudes and opinions
about LGBT people: while there is certain progress in some countries, others continue
discrimination and violation of basic human rights of LGBT people. Pour en savoir plus

Human Rights Watch estime qu’une réforme de la nouvelle constitution hongroise est
nécessaire
Hungary should address the human rights concerns linked to its new constitution that the Venice
Commission raised in its June 20, 2011 report, Human Rights Watch said on 23 June. In addition,
Hungary should guarantee that people with disabilities will retain the right to vote under the new
constitution. The new constitution, the Fundamental Law of Hungary, was signed into law on April
25, and will go into effect on January 1, 2012. The constitution includes provisions that could lead
to discrimination against women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) people, and
people with disabilities. Pour en savoir plus (uniquement disponible en anglais)
NOUVELLES D’EUROPE
Une enquête montre un soutien répandu pour les droits des gays parmi les musulmans en
Grande Bretagne
A new survey documenting ethnic and religious attitudes in Britain has discovered a startlingly
liberal approach to gay rights in the Muslim community. The poll, conducted by think tank Demos
in preparation for a forthcoming essay collection, shows that Muslims are more likely to strongly
agree with the statement 'I am proud of how Britain treats gay people' than people of no religion.
Only Sikhs were more likely to strongly agree. "British Muslims are far more enlightened and
proud of our liberal values than they are often given credit for," Max Wind-Cowie, head of the
Progressive Conservatism Project at Demos, commented. Pour en savoir plus (uniquement

La discrimination au travail prend des formes insidieuses en France
L'origine ethnique, l'âge et le sexe: premiers critères de discrimination ethnique dans le monde de
l'entreprise. C'est ce que démontre une enquête menée conjointement par Cegos et la chaire
management et diversité de la fondation Paris-Dauphine. Selon l'étude publiée le 28 juin, les
salariés perçoivent d'abord l'âge comme critère handicapant. Ce n'est qu'après ce critère qu'arrive
le sexe (32 %) et enfin l'origine ethnique (28%). Les DRH, quant à eux, citent d'abord l'origine
ethnique pour 71 % d'entre eux avant de parler de l'âge (69 %) et enfin du sexe (68 %).
Surveillance oblige, la discrimination prendrait de nos jours des « formes plus insidieuses qu'avant
», selon les personnes interrogées. Principale méthode : "les fausses rumeurs visant à discréditer
les personnes". Pour en savoir plus
Une analyse du Médiateur tchèque montre qu’une annonce d’emploi sur six est
discriminatoire
A recent analysis published by the Czech ombudsman, Pavel Varvařovský, has revealed an
unflattering fact: Of more than 1 200 job announcements published on the internet server
www.prace.cz, the largest web portal for job offerings in the Czech Republic, one-sixth contain at
least one discriminatory requirement. Job-seekers are thus being pre-emptively excluded from
employment opportunities. The analysis reviewed 12 044 ads published during the week of 1 -7
April 2011. Firms most frequently discriminate against job-seekers on the basis of age and sex, but
the investigation reveals that job announcements also discriminate against people with disabilities
or members of other nationalities and states. Pour en savoir plus (uniquement disponible en

Les discriminations à l’encontre des musulmans plus importantes que jamais en Belgique
A total of 166 out of 1,466 cases launched in connection with discrimination and racism-related
offenses involve faith, according to the 2010 report prepared by Belgium's Center for Equal
Opportunities and Opposition to Racism (CEOOR). Eighty-four percent of these cases are
connected to Islam while only 2 percent concern Christianity and Judaism. The high number of
cases of discrimination against Muslims is likely to bring more debates on Islamophobia back to
the agenda. Eighty percent of the complaints filed with the CEOOR involve racism. Pour en savoir

Les abus dans les politiques de visas constituent la problématique la plus urgente en
République tchèque
Abuse of Czech legal visa policy is the most burning problem in the sphere of illegal migration,
according to the annual report of the Office for Uncovering Organised Crime (UOOZ) released on
Monday. Organised groups pocket high profits from this kind of crime as some 10,000 euros are
paid for one immigrant. If an immigrant is interested in travelling to the Czech Republic, he is
contacted by some "organisers and recruiters" who ensure all the required documents and
technicalities to be granted the legal visas. However, they tell the authorities false data such as the
address at which the immigrant will stay or conduct business, the report said. Pour en savoir plus

L’UE se met d’accord sur une réforme des règles de Schengen
EU leaders on Friday (24 June) agreed to establish a "safeguard mechanism" allowing the reintroduction of internal borders in exceptional circumstances, potentially curbing one of the most

integrative aspects of EU membership. Without undermining this basic principle [of free
movement of persons], we felt the need to improve the Schengen rules," European Council
President Herman Van Rompuy said at a press conference at the end of the summit. The
mechanism would allow "as a very last resort, (...) the exceptional reintroduction of internal
border controls in a truly critical situation where a member state is no longer able to comply with
its obligations under the Schengen rules as concerns the prevention of illegal immigration of third
country nationals, with negative effects on other member states," the final statement said. Pour

L’autonomisation des femmes contribue à la lute contre la pauvreté et d’autres fléaux
sociaux, selon une représentante des Nations Unies
Empowering women and advancing their rights is not only the right thing to do but it can lead to
progress on a range of issues, including the fight against poverty, hunger and violence, the head of
the United Nations agency tasked with promoting women’s rights said on 27 June. “Promoting
gender equality and women’s empowerment is not solely a plea for justice or for fulfilling human
rights commitments. It is both of those things, but also so much more,” Michelle Bachelet said in
her opening statement to the annual session of the Executive Board of the UN Entity for Gender
Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Pour en savoir plus (uniquement

Un ministre serbe s’excuse auprès d’une famille de Roms suite à des brutalités policières

brutality in a case that shocked the public and sparked protests by human rights organisations.
