Friday, Rama Yade, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights, moved to Orleans, where nearly a hundred persons, associations or simple citizens gathered for this first stage of the Tour de France "in favor of the policy of promoting human rights required by the Government.
Promotion of Human Rights: Responsibility France's
France, Nation Human Rights, the heir of the Enlightenment ideas, must be at the forefront on a subject such as human rights. This is no doubt in this context that the government of Nicolas Sarkozy wants to enroll. However, we can only observe some politicking, which are highlighted the human rights and promotion for the sole purpose of pleasing associations. Indeed, there has been where to head between the ads in favor of human rights, as indeed did Rama Yade during his visit, and visits to several dictators in France, legitimized by the Secretary of State as "outstretched hands". Hand tight, but at what price?
human rights and economic issues
"France is great only when it is projected into the world to bring his convictions," these words Secretary of State Rama Yade, could leave us optimistic vision of human rights by this government. However, we can not be mistaken. Indeed, according Rama Yade, we "can not build our foreign policy on our beliefs, then should we set aside our beliefs and therefore leave the field open to economic interests, could do as Nicolas Sarkozy in Tunisia? However, according to Madam Secretary of State, he must find a balance, equilibrium does not seem to worry much Nicolas Sarkozy, who prefers to emphasize the conclusion of the contract that real advances in human right . In sum, human rights and economic interests do not mix in Sarkozia.
The European Union is a priority for Rama Yade
Finally, in a few weeks now, France will take over the Presidency of the European Union, and it would allow France to assert its position on human rights and in particular the highlighting of violence against women, the fight against homophobia and finally the last theme of freedom, justice ... So it's a very difficult task awaits Madam Secretary of State since many state to the east are not ready to make any progress on the fight against homophobia or even justice. In addition, following the halt of "Europe's advantage," it is doubtful that such a program may now be feasible, the Government will undoubtedly review its objectives for the six-month presidency. Some criticize that Ireland have put Europe in such a situation, but would not it have been easier to involve the peoples of Europe to European integration instead of the shelving, for the vision of the European Union away from the people is a reality that is the essence of the institutions, between a commission technocratic, a purely inter-State Council and Parliament without its own power.
short, for a first step unnoticed, Rama Yade has sometimes been disappointing, but it will at least have the merit of meeting for nearly an hour for questions may be too specific associations present.
