150 – CONSEIL DE l’EUROPE – UNION EUROPEENNE


Source : La Lettre de la Fondation Robert Schuman , n°385,  9 mars 2009.

Conseil de l’Europe. Italie.CEDH. L’Italie a été condamnée le 25 août par la Cour européenne des droits de l’Homme pour des manquements dans l’enquête sur la mort de Carlo Giuliani. Ce jeune militant altermondialiste avait été tué par un carabinier le 20 juillet 2001 à Gênes en marge du sommet du G8. Si la Cour a estimé qu’il n’y avait pas eu usage disproportionné de la force, elle a reproché à l’Italie de ne pas avoir respecté les obligations procédurales lors de son enquête interne. La juridiction strasbourgeoise a alloué 15 000 € aux parents de la victime et 10 000 € à sa soeur.

Démographie. L’Union européenne compte désormais 500 millions d’habitations, selon les chiffres de l’Office européen des statistiques Eurostat publiés le 3 août. La population de l’Union s’est accrue de 2,1 millions de personnes en 2008, soit un taux annuel de 0,4%. Cette hausse résulte d’un accroissement naturel de 0,6 million et d’un solde migratoire de 1,5 million. La population de la zone euro comptait 328,7 millions de personnes à la même date.

* New Society for Criminology Founded: THE SOUTH ASIAN SOCIETY OF CRIMINOLOGY AND VICTIMOLOGY (SASCV) http://www.sascv.edu.tf

The South Asian Society of Criminology and Victimology (SASCV) is an international association founded to nurture criminology and victimology in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Academics, researchers and practitioners worldwide have joined hands to establish SASCV and share of best practices in the context of South Asia. Literature, religion and cultural practices of this region demonstrate a traditionally rich understanding of criminology and victimology in this region. South Asian literature is replete with stories of victim justice and restorative practices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam and various Tribal religions played a great role with regard to the concept of justice and non-violence, both at individual and community level. Colonial period introduced a new and formal centralized criminal justice system dismantling the then existing idea of justice. The 20th century saw the establishment of new states where ethnic, religious, linguistic, caste, communal, tribal and other identities played a role in institution of constitutions and in the legal sphere of criminal and victim justice. Today, South Asian countries face acute problems of corruption, criminal violence, terrorism, extremism, poverty, environmental degradation, white collar/cyber crimes, violations of human rights, state sponsored terrorism, crime against humanity, individual and collective victimization. In this context, the South Asian Society of Criminology and Victimology (SASCV) has emerged as a novel initiative to assist countries in criminal justice policy making and support victims of crime and abuse of power. We welcome anyone who shares our goals as members.
