Le baccalauréat fait l’objet d’une vaste concertation à laquelle la présente note souhaite contribuer. Le baccalauréat ne doit plus être l’aboutissement symbolique des études secondaires. Il doit mieux s’articuler avec le supérieur. Par ailleurs, la filière professionnelle, à la fois socialement déconsidérée, opaque et excessivement centralisée, doit être administrée au plus près des territoires, en […]

Jusque très récemment, l’Europe ne comptait guère dans les campagnes électorales - ou alors comme repoussoir - et quasiment pas dans les moments cruciaux de la politique intérieure.

The Red Sea is a vital pathway for goods, people, arms, and livestock. European trade with Asia passes through here as well as oil from the Gulf to the Mediterranean, and a sizeable amount of global marine cargo is hauled through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean. In addition to its significance as a trade route, the Red Sea is a lane for migration between the Gulf and the Horn of Africa and a bridge for roving terrorists. Its water connects the Horn of Africa with the Gulf countries, although it also separates African and Arab political and social cultures. Moreover, many issues are contested in the Red Sea region, ranging from military control to political Islam. In order to avoid further rifts between the Horn of Africa countries as a consequence of the disruptive politics of the Gulf, the Horn needs to perceive itself as a region and find common interests rather than becoming fragmented and weakened. The stability of the Horn of Africa as well as the security of its trade routes are of vital interest to European countries and economies.

To prevent civil strife and reinforce social unity, Muslim countries need to engage in a culture of mediation at the domestic level, Nejib Friji, Director, IPI Middle East & North Africa, told an audience at the first Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Member States Conference on Mediation in Istanbul, November 23rd.
The conference, organized by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, brought together an audience of representatives of government, civil society, media, academia, and diplomacy to discuss the “Surge in Mediation: The Role of the OIC.” The Istanbul Conference established the need for strengthening and enhancing the capacity for mediation by including new actors at the community level, and women and youth in the mediation processes. Considering the peaceful resolution of conflicts and mediation as highly important, Turkey maintains that greater engagement in mediation by regional organizations would have a positive effect on overall peace and stability.
Mr. Friji noted that the number of fatalities in the MENA region increased six-fold between 2011 and 2015 as a result of conflict. He emphasized the effects of the OIC’s mission priorities in mediation and conflict resolution. For Iraq, Syria, Israel, Palestine, Nigeria, Somalia, and the Central African Republic (CAR), the OIC plays a significant role “in facilitating the diplomacy of prevention,” he said.
He drew attention to the OIC’s Group of Friends in Mediation, founded in 2010, as a crucial example of promoting the culture of mediation and engaging more regional organizations and women in mediation. Mr. Friji also emphasized the diversity of the OIC member-states as a “reflection of pluralism within Islam,” which enables them to “offer a model for non-violent, sectarian cooperation and collaboration in cases of violence pertaining to Islam or Muslims–whether it be states, non-state actors, or minority communities.”
He highlighted the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, which steered the country away from the brink of civil war, as a prime example of the way in which “an effective mediation process at the domestic level responds to the specificity of the conflict.”
In line with the Final Report of the Independent Commission on Multilateralism, and IPI’s Lost in Transition publication by Francesco Mancini and José Vericat, he affirmed that “instigating mediation on the national level increases inclusivity and has direct impact on the ground.” He underlined the need to create a quality education system to help establish a culture of constructive behavior, mediation and social partnership— with a curriculum that could be incorporated at the primary and secondary school levels, as well as by universities. He reiterated the need to develop a good governance strategy based on participatory, inclusive, and rights-based sustainable development strategies to establish effective preventive mediation.
Noting the importance of increasing the involvement of women in mediation efforts, he pointed out the Nordic Women Mediators Network (NWMN), the African Union-led FemWise-Africa, the recent formation of the Mediterranean Women Mediators Network, and the Tunisian Quartet as prime examples of initiatives led by women which brought about lasting peace agreements.
Mr. Friji stressed the need to prioritize homegrown mediation roadmaps and establish a structure that facilitates dialogue between regional and sub-regional organizations, educators, mediation practitioners and researchers to form the foundations of a culture of national mediation.
Turkey, as the current Chair of the Summit and the Executive Committee of the OIC, organized the First OIC Member States Conference on Mediation in Istanbul on November 21, 2017.
Organized in collaboration with the OIC General Secretariat, the conference was opened by Ahmet Yıldız, Turkish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Abdallah Alim, Assistant Secretary General of the OIC for Political Affairs.
