Tunisie. Les droits humains en danger deux ans après l’accaparement du pouvoir par le président Kaïs Saïed - Amnesty International (Amnesty International, 2023)
Au cours de la deuxième année qui s’est écoulée depuis l’accaparement du pouvoir par le président Kaïs Saïed, les autorités tunisiennes ont poursuivi sur la voie de la répression en emprisonnant des dizaines d’opposant·e·s politiques et de détracteurs et détractrices du régime, bafoué l’indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire, supprimé des garanties institutionnelles en matière de droits humains et incité à la discrimination à l’égard des personnes migrantes, a déclaré Amnesty International le 24 juillet 2023. « Décret après décret, attaque après attaque, le président Kaïs Saïed, avec son gouvernement, a considérablement porté atteinte au respect des droits humains en Tunisie depuis qu’il s’est accaparé le pouvoir en juillet 2021. Ce faisant, il a privé les Tunisien·ne·s de droits élémentaires qu’ils avaient obtenus de haute lutte et a alimenté un climat de répression et d’impunité. Il faut que les autorités tunisiennes inversent immédiatement cette trajectoire dangereuse et respectent leurs obligations internationales en matière de droits humains », a déclaré Heba Morayef, directrice du programme Afrique du Nord et Moyen-Orient à Amnesty International.

“En el segundo año tras la toma del poder del presidente tunecino Kais Saied, las autoridades del país han tomado más medidas encaminadas a la represión con el encarcelamiento de decenas de oponentes políticos y personas que critican al Estado, han violado la independencia del poder judicial, han desmantelado salvaguardias institucionales de los derechos humanos y han incitado a la discriminación hacia las personas migrantes”, ha declarado hoy Amnistía Internacional. “Desde que tomó el poder en julio de 2021, decreto a decreto, golpe a golpe, el presidente Saied y su gobierno han debilitado dramáticamente el respeto a los derechos humanos en Túnez eliminando libertades fundamentales duramente conseguidas por la ciudadanía y alimentando un clima de represión e impunidad. Las autoridades tunecinas deben invertir inmediatamente esta trayectoria traicionera y cumplir sus obligaciones internacionales en materia de derechos humanos”, ha afirmado Heba Morayef, directora regional de Amnistía Internacional para Oriente Medio y el Norte de África.

Tunisia: Human rights at risk two years after President Saied’s power grab - Amnesty International (Amnesty International, 2023)
In the second year since Tunisian President Kais Saied’s power grab, Tunisian authorities have taken further steps towards repression by jailing dozens of political opponents and state critics, violated the independence of the judiciary, dismantled institutional human rights safeguards, and incited discrimination against migrants, Amnesty International said today. “Decree by decree, blow by blow, President Saied and his government have dramatically undermined respect for human rights in Tunisia since his power grab in July 2021. In doing so, he has stripped away basic freedoms that Tunisians fought hard to earn and fostered a climate of repression and impunity. The Tunisian authorities must immediately reverse this treacherous trajectory and uphold their international human rights obligations,” said Heba Morayef, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

Ce nouveau numéro de la revue Culture & Recherche est dédié à la science ouverte. Il présente les productions de la recherche culturelle des acteurs et partenaires institutionnels du ministère de la Culture dans un contexte national, européen et international. Parmi les modes de « faire de la recherche » aujourd’hui, « les pratiques scientifiques plus ouvertes, transparentes, collaboratives et inclusives, associées à des connaissances scientifiques plus accessibles et vérifiables et soumises à l’examen et à la critique, améliorent l’efficacité, la qualité, la reproductibilité et l’impact de l’entreprise scientifique » (Recommandation de l’UNESCO sur une science ouverte, 2021). Trois écosystèmes sont sollicités : les données ouvertes (Open Data), le libre accès (Open Access) et des outils-logiciels libres et gratuits (Open Source). Chercheurs, ingénieurs, informaticiens, bibliothécaires et documentalistes, usagers et société civile se mobilisent pour expérimenter et mettre en œuvre ce régime de productions des savoirs partagés, afin de répondre, notamment, à des enjeux à fort impact sociétal.

Four judges of Brazil’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal have voted to bar former President Jair Bolsonaro from holding political office for eight years.

In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers.

And for what it does with the memory of the past.” Other societies and communities have taken up Wiesel’s call—at the national level, South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Argentina’s efforts to prosecute Dirty War military leaders, and at the local level, movements like the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission in North Carolina and land back efforts in the Pacific Northwest.

Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission?: A Philosophical Investigation - Táíwò, Olúfẹ́mi (Routledge, 2023)
Written from the perspective of a philosopher and African immigrant, this book makes a forceful moral argument for the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the United States to address the long history of injustice to African-Americans. It shows that a TRC—similar to those established in South Africa and Chile—would rescue the ideals embodied in the U.S. Constitution while expanding their promise. Rejecting more recent views of the country’s founding as an embodiment of incorrigible racial oppression, Olúfẹmi Táíwò sees in the U.S. Constitution, and the original utopia that was at its foundation, the best available means for achieving liberty and justice. But he simultaneously shows how only a TRC can successfully open the path to moving the U.S. past its long legacy of anti-black racism in particular and racial oppression, generally, towards a more perfect union. Written with an immigrant’s love of his new homeland but a clear-eyed view of its major shortcomings, the book rejects the idea of American exceptionalism in prescribing a solution that has worked elsewhere.

California, a Slave State - Pfaelzer, Jean (Yale University Press, 2023)
California owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives—the first slaves transported into California—and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California’s carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers. Slavery shreds California’s utopian brand, rewrites our understanding of the West, and redefines America’s uneasy paths to freedom.
