• Un rapport sur la société de la surveillance

  5 décembre 2006, par Surveillance Studies Network
  En juin 2006, le Surveillance Studies Network a été chargé par le commissaire à l’information britannique de rédiger un rapport sur la société de la surveillance. Le présent document est une synthèse de ce rapport. Il se divise en trois chapitres qui reprennent les principaux points couverts par le rapport. Le premier d’entre eux illustre dans les grandes lignes le contexte de la société de la surveillance : ses définitions, ses problèmes et ses conséquences. Le deuxième indique le mode d’opération de la société de surveillance. Quant au troisième, il étudie certains des défis réglementaires posés par la société de la surveillance.

• A Report on the Surveillance Society

  5 December 2006, by Surveillance Studies Network

Unremarkable.

  A broad majority of MPs in the German Bundestag voted on 26 October 2006 in favour of a joint parliamentary motion, calling for safeguard measures in the area of Justice and Home Affairs in relation to Bulgaria and Romania. While the wording of the parliamentary motion itself leaves some vagueness as to the precise date of such safeguards, clear statements on this question were made in the parliamentary debate. While conservatives vigorously called for immediate action as from 1 January 2007, their government coalition partners, the social-democrats, considered such a move «populistic and therefore wrong».

Les barrières toujours plus hautes dressées autour de ces enclaves pour les empêcher de passer ont eu des conséquences humaines dramatiques: graves blessures, déportations dans le désert et décès de personnes. Pire encore, des tirs à balles réelles ont provoqué la mort d’une dizaine de personnes.
