European news, cartoons and press reviews

Est-ce qu’il ne manque pas le Canada plus « en bas à droite » que l’Inde ? De ce dont je me rappelle du film de Moore, le Canada a beaucoup beaucoup d’armes. S’il manque un pays clef dans ce genre de statistiques, le graphique ne veut plus dire grand chose (cherry picking quoi)

C’est parce que le graphique retenu (et mis en tête de l’article du NYT) est en chiffres bruts. Rapporté à la population, le Canada (un peu plus de 10% de la population états-unienne, un peu moins que la Californie) sort du paquet.

Armes à feu : Une carte d’Europe des pays où les habitants sont les plus armés | VoxEurop.eu : actualités Europe, cartoons et revues de presse

En Europe, la Serbie est en tête (et numéro deux au monde, derrière les Etats-Unis), avec 69,7 armes à feu pour 100 habitants. Elle est suivie de la Suisse, avec 45,7 armes pour 100 habitants, et Chypre, avec 36,1. Quatre pays scandinaves (Suède, Norvège, Islande et Finlande) sont parmi les dix pays les plus « armés ». La Roumanie ferme la marche, avec moins de 0,5 armes pour 100 habitants.

merci @simplicissimus !

Du coup, pour toi la carte du NYT est-elle pertinente, sincère, etc ? Parce que je me dis que le nombre d’armes du’un pays est quand même moins pertinent que le nombre d’armes par habitants

Carte ? je n’en vois pas ; j’imagine que tu parles des graphiques. Et oui, c’est assez idiot (bon d’accord, très peu pertinent) de mettre en avant le graphique avec les données en nombre. Pour la sincérité, je ne sais pas, j’imagine que la raison du choix est que celui qu’ils retiennent accentue l’effet É.-U. contre reste du monde (mais que Chine et Inde ne figurent sur le graphique qu’à cause de leur population).

Le choix de filtrer pour les pays de plus de 10 M d’habitants, justifié par l’autre variable (nombre de fusillades collectives), fait disparaitre un pays comme la Suisse, ce qui est dommage dans la mesure où la suite de l’article indique clairement que c’est un problème de culture. En Suisse, par exemple, l’ensemble de la population masculine de plus de 20 ans (et de moins de 50 ans (?)) est équipé d’une arme de guerre (en général un fusil d’assaut…) avec ses munitions. Ainsi, dans mon patelin d’origine, 3 de mes cousins se partageaient, outre leur arme individuelle, un mortier, l’un le tube, l’autre l’embase, le troisième trois obus (peut-être avec le bipied, je ne me souviens plus) stocké chez eux…

Crise migratoire : face à l’Union européenne, la Turquie fait monter les enchères

L’Union européenne s’est donné un délai de dix jours pour finaliser un nouvel accord avec Ankara visant à stopper l’afflux de migrants vers l’Europe. Le sommet entre les dirigeants des Vingt-Huit et la Turquie, achevé dans la nuit du lundi 7 au mardi 8 mars à l’issue de discussions laborieuses, a donc abouti sur la promesse de nouvelles tractations, avec en point de mire un nouveau rendez-vous le 17 et 18 mars à Bruxelles.

EU-Turkey refugee deal – Q&A

EU-Turkey deal: Trading in People and outsourcing the EU’s responsibilities

Brussels, 8 March 2016. The EU-Turkey Summit of 7 March 2016 demonstrated a continued lack of moral leadership in Europe’s response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis for refugees in Europe. Focusing yet again on reducing the number of people arriving is a shameful and short-sighted approach which will only result in the opening of new and more dangerous routes for those fleeing violence and state failure.

Cosa dice la bozza di accordo sui rifugiati tra Europa e Turchia e perché non funzionerà

Ogni giorno in Europa arrivano circa 2mila persone da Siria, Iraq e Afghanistan. Lo scorso ottobre l’Europa aveva stabilito che 160mila tra i rifugiati arrivati in questi mesi sarebbero stati ricollocati in diversi Paesi, una quota ciascuno. Quattro mesi dopo, ne sono stati ricollocati 700 e a Idomeni, come altrove, c’è la situazione che vedete ogni giorno nelle foto e nei filmati dei telegiornali e nella foto qui sopra: bambini, donne e uomini vivono così perché non ci sono risorse o volontà di dare loro una stufa, un tetto, una scuola.

EU/Turkey: Migrants are not goods one can barter

Paris, Brussels – FIDH is appalled by the cynical ‘migrant swap’ announced by EU Heads of State and Government and the Turkish Prime Minister on March 7. FIDH calls on the EU and its member States to stop trying to push migrants away at all costs and to create instead legal and safe channels including through increasing their unconditional resettlement capacities.

Inside Europe’s refugee deal with Turkey – is it legal and can it work?

The proposed refugee exchange programme between the EU and Turkey is the most visible example of an evolving European policy of “humane return”. Containment (keeping refugees in the Middle East) hasn’t worked, nor have deflection (razor wire on the Hungarian and Macedonian borders), temporary protection or permanent resettlement. This is the latest arrow pulled from the quiver of failed solutions.

EU-Turkey: Deal or no Deal?

The EU and Turkey are aiming to close the ‘Balkan route’ to Europe. On March 7 2016, the EU mooted a plan to send non-refugees back to Turkey while offering to resettle those people who Turkey has already qualified as refugees. In today’s podcast, Franck Düvell argues that this seemingly simple and straightforward swap faces a litany of legal and logistical uncertainties.

Stop Your Backsliding, Europe

STRASBOURG, France — The protection of refugees is an integral part of the international order for safeguarding human rights that countries developed in the aftermath of the atrocities of World War II. It’s in that context that European nations agreed on an array of rules on human rights and the treatment of refugees, resulting in probably the world’s best-functioning system for protecting them.

The draft EU/Turkey deal on migration and refugees: is it legal?

In the last week, there has been considerable legal controversy over the planned EU/Turkey agreement on refugee issues. I commented (together with Emanuela Roman) in general on the relevant points last month, but now we have a leaked draft text of a final deal. (See also today’s Commission communication on the deal, which adds a lot of important detail). This is a good moment to comment specifically on this draft, just before the summit meeting due to finalise it.

Europe’s Lousy Deal With Turkey

On March 18, the leaders of the European Union reached a controversial deal with Turkey. That agreement, touted as a resolution to the refugee crisis, was in essence a cynical bargain to turn Turkey into a buffer zone. Turkey has agreed to act as a giant refugee holding center, keeping the millions of migrants fleeing conflict in the Middle East from reaching Europe and accepting those sent back from Greece. In exchange, the EU will pay Turkey three billion euros on top of the three billion pledged last November to help care for the refugees. It will also speed up the approval of visa-free travel to Europe for Turkish citizens and revive stalled negotiations over Turkey’s accession to the EU. The EU also agreed to settle a limited number of Syrian refugees—up to 72,000—directly from Turkey to Europe based on a crude “one-in, one-out” trade: for every Syrian smuggled to Greece but returned to Turkey, the EU will legally resettle one Syrian directly from Turkey to a European country. Finally, European leaders promised that once the flood of migration has abated they will implement a “voluntary humanitarian admission scheme,” a vaguely conceived program under which a coalition of willing member states could volunteer to resettle additional refugees.

La dichiarazione UE–Turchia sulla migrazione: un trattato concluso in violazione delle prerogative del Parlamento?

L’UE e la Turchia hanno recentemente adottato una Dichiarazione (nell’originale: EU-Turkey Statement; di seguito: Dichiarazione), in forza della quale la Grecia ha già espulso decine di migranti in posizione irregolare. La Dichiarazione è stata oggetto di numerose critiche (Chetail; Labayle and de Bruycker; Mandal; Peers; Roman). Si è espresso, in particolare, il timore che la Dichiarazione consenta all’UE di operare espulsioni di massa verso la Turchia – la quale non pare un “Paese sicuro” per i richiedenti asilo, date le disfunzionalità nel suo sistema di asilo (Peers e Roman). Un altro aspetto controverso della Dichiarazione è il c.d. “programma 1:1”, cioè la regola per cui, per ogni siriano (in posizione irregolare) che l’UE espelle verso la Turchia, questa invierà un altro siriano (rifugiato) in Europa. Questo programma solleva delle problematiche giuridiche – ad esempio, perché discrimina fra siriani e richiedenti asilo di altre nazionalità– ed è moralmente discutibile, nella misura in cui genera una sorta di ‘commercio’ di esseri umani.

Merkel e Hollande chiedono a Italia e Grecia di aprire subito i centri di registrazione per migranti

Il presidente francese François Hollande e la cancelliera tedesca Angela Merkel hanno invocato una risposta comune dell’Europa sui migranti. A margine di un vertice straordinario a Berlino, i due leader hanno chiesto un “sistema unificato di diritto di asilo” e “una politica migratoria comune con regole comuni” per fare fronte a una “situazione eccezionale che andrà avanti nel tempo”, come ha sintetizzato Hollande.

Sono migliaia i migranti bloccati a Calais in attesa di riuscire a entrare nel Regno Unito tentando di attraversare clandestinamente il tunnel sotto la Manica. Secondo un recente sondaggio YouGov la maggioranza dei britannici e dei francesi – rispettivamente il 67 per cento e il 54 per cento – «sarebbero favorevoli all’invio dei militari da parte del governo britannico per sostenere le autorità francesi nel mantenimento dell’ordine a Calais».
