This paper provides an overview of digital innovation in refugee and displacement contexts, drawing on data from refugee communities about how they use digital identity, cash transfer, and education solutions. This data was collected in 2019 in Kenya and Malaysia in cooperation with refugee community organizations, university partners, and UNHCR. Along with data analysis, there is historical background on digitalization in displacement response, and an overview of current work being done in this space. The paper provides  recommendations for maximizing the potential of digital innovation in these areas, and how they can best serve forcibly displaced populations and contribute to the goals of the Global Compact on Refugees.

The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) organized a roundtable discussion on the harmonization of case law and judicial practice for senior judges in BiH, on 6 December 2021 in Sarajevo. The event was aimed at improving legal certainty and equality of citizens before the law. It was organized in co-operation with the BiH High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) and the Council of Europe.

“The lack of harmonization of court practice and how laws are interpreted by different courts endangers the constitutional principles of legal certainty and equality of citizens before the law, and undermines public trust in the work of the judiciary,” said Michael Schuetz, Head of the OSCE Mission’s Rule of Law Section.

“We are glad that judges throughout the country recognize this issue and are committed to improving harmonization of case law and judicial practice.”

Following recommendations in the Venice Commission Opinion of 2012, in 2014 the HJPC established three harmonization panels, one for each of criminal, civil and administrative law areas. They consist of judges from the respective departments of the Court of BiH, the Supreme Court of the Federation of BiH, the Supreme Court of Republika Srpska, and the Appellate Court of Brčko District of BiH.

The Mission, under the auspices of the HJPC, has previously supported the work of the criminal law panel. Conclusions and recommendations from the roundtable discussion will help drive the future work of the panels in addition to contributing to other initiatives to improve the harmonization of case law and judicial practice in BiH.

This paper examines empirically whether social protection in the form of adapted social assistance programmes are affecting social cohesion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using unique primary data from nationally representative, in-person surveys from Kenya allows for the exploration of the effect of social protection on attributes of social cohesion (trust, cooperation and identity). The analysis employs a difference-in-differences approach that compares households with and without social assistance coverage before and after the first wave of the pandemic. The findings suggest that social assistance programmes have a preserving effect on social cohesion. Attributes of social cohesion remain stable for beneficiaries, while they decline for non-beneficiaries due to the pandemic. This result is pronounced in regions that faced larger restrictions due to government lockdown policies. Overall, the results suggest that existing national social assistance programmes and their adaptation in times of large covariate shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can be beneficial for social cohesion.

Ein neuer Lavastrom hat auf der zu Spanien gehörenden Vulkaninsel La Palma weitere Häuser zerstört.

L’affaire de l’accident de train survenu le 12 octobre dernier dans les Pyrénées-Atlantiques (sud ouest) au niveau de Ciboure ôtant la vie à trois jeunes migrants, refait surface, ouvrant de nouveau une plaie incurable et pour le rescapé de l’accident et pour les familles des trois victimes décédées.

Le drame est survenu à Cibourne quand un train percute quatre migrants, causant la mort de trois d’entre elles dont un quatrième grièvement blessé. Les jeunes « harragas » se trouvaient allongées sur la voie ferrée avant la collision meurtrière.

Un nouveau rebondissement dans l’affaire

Le rescapé de l’accident ferroviaire, un Algérien de 28 ans appuyé par un avocat décide aujourd’hui de déposer plainte « contre X auprès du procureur de la République de Bayonne », selon le média français Sudouest. Les familles des autres victimes et plusieurs associations ont également répondu présents. Les motifs? homicide involontaire, mise en danger de la vie d’autrui, blessure involontaire, administration de substances nuisibles.

En effet, l’avocat est interpellé par les faits. Comment se fait-il qu’ils soient tous endormis sur la voie? pour lui, il est quasi-impossible qu’il n’y est pas un d’entre-deux qui « faisait la guet ». D’autant que ces jeunes migrants faisaient la routes « ensemble » depuis plusieurs jours.

Un potentiel responsable du drame?

Y’a-t-il un responsable de cet accident tragique? possible! en effet, une cinquième personne, un homme âgé de 28 ans, était selon la plainte, présent au moment du drame. mais qui a « pris la fuite » avant ou après l’accident.

Deux jours après l’accident ferroviaire, l’homme a été intercepté, à Bayonne. Il était déjà connu de la police. Un « malfaiteur » jugé pour vol avec effraction.

Lors de son audition, il dit « s’être réveillé avant ses compagnons de route », qui, eux « dormaient sur la voie ». Selon lui, c’est grâce à ces « quelques exercices » effectués (loin des rails) pour se réchauffer qu’il est aujourd’hui sain et sauf.

Ont-ils été empoisonnés ?

Selon les dires du jeune rescapé, le cinquième homme a une main dans cette affaire. Il le soupçonne, on ne peut plus clair, d’avoir administré des « substances nuisibles » dans leurs boissons. Chose qui doit être confirmée après les analyses toxicologiques sur les corps des défunts migrants.

Aujourd’hui, plusieurs interrogations sont soulevées autour de ce drame. Les familles de victimes réclament une enquête approfondie pour lever les doutes qui pèsent lourdement sur cette affaire.
