On the eve of International Human Rights Day, on 9 December 2021 the OSCE Presence in Albania organized a regional roundtable discussion for equality bodies and independent human rights institutions. Representatives from the Western Balkans discussed, in the hybrid-format meeting, their role and interactions with respect to judicial proceedings.
The event gave participants the opportunity to exchange best practices and experiences, and to strengthen regional co-operation. It served as a momentum to raise awareness about respective governments’ obligations towards protection from discrimination and promotion of human right institutions’ work.
“Independent human rights institutions are essential synapses to ensure the effective implementation of international human rights standards at the national level, to act as a bridge between the citizens and the State, protect those in need, and hold governments accountable for their human rights obligations,” said Vincenzo Del Monaco, Head of OSCE Presence in Albania, at the opening of the event.
Albania’s People’s Advocate Erinda Ballanca said: “We, human rights institutions, should be a success story, because failure to succeed damages not only the authority and stability of our institutions, but also the very cause of human rights in general”.
“Today’s meeting is very important to know the competences of each other, to see what competences we have consolidated and how we can implement new ones in our realities”, said Robert Gajda, Albania’s Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination.
The Presence has been supporting independent human rights institutions in Albania since their establishment, and recently facilitated the signing of a co-operation agreement among them.
A l’étranger, les personnes présentes sur le territoire en situation irrégulière tentent de trouver refuge et de s’abriter à l’aide des associations et grâce au soutien des habitants. Parfois, certains prennent les choses en main de la mauvaise manière, choisissant de survivre en empruntant le chemin de la criminalité et la délinquance.
Aux Yvelines dans la grande couronne de la région Île-de-France, un propriétaire s’est rendu à son domicile pour découvrir que ce dernier est squatté par deux personnes. Il ne s’agit pas de deux personnes « anodines », mais plutôt de voleurs. Le propriétaire a informé la police le 1er décembre dernier que des inconnus occupaient illégalement son domicile.
Les services de la police ont, à leur tour, découvert suite à l’interpellation de ces individus, qu’il s’agit de deux jeunes algériens de 17 et 25 ans. Ce duo a transformé le domicile du monsieur en une véritable cachette dans laquelle les deux jeunes dissimulaient leurs butins illicites, autrement dit, les objets qu’ils avaient volés.
Auteurs de 17 volsL’enquête de la police a révélé que les deux algériens sont en situation irrégulière, ils ont commis 17 vols différents qui ont même touchés les voisins habitant pas loin du domicile dans lequel ils squattaient. Après un inventaire effectué par les enquêteurs de la sûreté urbaine, on a pu faire le lien entre les délinquants et des vols commis dans les villes limitrophes.
Suite à quoi, l’algérien âgé de 25 ans a pris 18 mois de prison avec incarcération immédiate et son « associé » âgé de 17 ans a été mis en examen puis a été libéré.

Après la fin de la rencontre footballistique qui a réuni l’équipe nationale A’ à son homologue égyptienne, les rumeurs sont fortement diffusées quant au penalty donné à la faveur des Pharaons.
En effet, ledit penalty a permis à l’équipe adverse à marquer, dans la 60′ minute du jeu, leur but d’égalité dans les filets de Rais M’bolhi.
Sur ce, les deux équipes se sont quittées sur un score d’égalité (1-1). Toutefois, le public sportif algérien n’a pas apprécié ce penalty, qui l’a d’ailleurs qualifié d’injuste, en raison de la sortie du ballon dans le tir qui a précédé le penalty égyptien.
À cet effet, les rumeurs se sont répandues à propos d’une protestation de la part de la Fédération algérienne de football auprès du comité d’organisation de la Compétition de la Coupe Arabe.
La FAF dément toutes les rumeursAujourd’hui, la Fédération algérienne de football a démenti, par le biais d’un communiqué rendu public, qu’elle n’a transmis aucune réclamation à quelconque au sujet de la rencontre Algérie – Égypte, jouée ce mardi 7 décembre à Doha au Qatar.
» La Fédération algérienne de football (FAF) tient à informer qu’elle n’a transmis aucune réclamation ou autre courrier à la FIFA ni à une quelconque autre instance d’ailleurs au sujet de la rencontre Algérie – Égypte « , lit-on dans ledit communiqué.
Par ailleurs, la même source a souligné : » la FAF se tient au respect du Règlement de la compétition et invite tout un chacun d’observer les règles nécessaires de vérification de l’information auprès de la source officielle avant de véhiculer et surtout de donner une ampleur indescriptible à une fake news « .

The current crisis on the Poland–Belarus border and renewed attempts by migrants to cross the Channel from France to the United Kingdom have put a new spotlight on the dilemma of how the European Union should deal with refugees escaping repression and poverty in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, and some parts of Africa. In Belarus, authorities have allowed migrants to take flights into the country to purposely transfer them to their borders with the neighbouring EU Member States of Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Meanwhile, London and Paris are discussing ways to clamp down on migrants’ attempts to cross the Channel. The Turkish and Mediterranean migration routes from Africa to Italy and Spain also remain active.
This note gathers links to the recent publications and commentaries from many international think tanks on migration in Europe and on debates on how to reform its rules.
