Courrier hebdomadaire d’ENAR n° 275 - 1er juillet 2011 1 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 en savoir plus 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).
