Alexeï Navalny, principale voix de l’opposition russe, est connu pour avoir dénoncé la corruption en Russie et s’être ardemment opposé au président Vladimir Poutine. Il est décédé le 16 février 2024 dans de mystérieuses circonstances, dans une colonie pénitentiaire isolée au nord du cercle polaire arctique. En 2021, le Parlement européen lui avait décerné le prix Sakharov pour la liberté de l’esprit.

The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, named in honour of the Soviet physicist and political dissident Andrei Sakharov, is awarded each year by the European Parliament. It was set up in 1988 to honour individuals and organisations defending human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Each nominee must have the support of at least 40 MEPs, and each individual Member may support only one nominee. Signed nominations accompanied by supporting evidence are then assessed in a joint meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Development (DEVE). A shortlist of three candidates is drawn up through a vote by AFET and DEVE committees, and then submitted to the Conference of Presidents for a final vote. The winner is usually announced in October, and the award ceremony takes place in November/December at plenary sitting in Strasbourg.

L'Union européenne a été fondée sur les principes des droits de l'homme et de la liberté d'expression. C'est pourquoi le Parlement européen soutient des pays comme la Tunisie dans leurs efforts vers la démocratie. Ce soutien prend la forme d'actions juridiques et politiques, y compris le prix Sakharov et le « Sakharov Fellowship ». Rencontrez Asma Kaouech, une militante tunisienne et « Sakharov Fellow », qui nous raconte son histoire.

Droits de l'homme

À propos du budget de l'Union européenne pour l'année prochaine, de l'interdiction totale des herbicides à base de glyphosate d'ici à 2022 et du lauréat du Prix Sakharov 2017, voici cinq chiffres à retenir de Strasbourg.

5 chiffres à retenir de Strasbourg

Le respect des droits de l'homme est l'une des valeurs fondamentales de l'Union européenne. Toute violation de ces droits affecte les principes démocratiques sur lesquels notre société est fondée. Le Parlement européen lutte contre ces violations par son action législative et en intégrant les droits de l'homme dans ses accords commerciaux extérieurs. Le Parlement européen défend également les droits de l'homme en décernant annuellement le Prix Sakharov pour la liberté de pensée à des personnes ayant œuvré de manière exceptionnelle pour les droits de l'homme.

Le Prix Sakharov pour la liberté de pensée

Lors de la deuxième session plénière d'octobre, les députés européens choisissent et dévoilent le lauréat du Prix Sakharov 2017 pour la liberté de l'esprit. Ils abordent également les questions relatives à un nouveau système d'entrée/de sortie aux frontières, au meilleur contrôle face à l'exposition aux agents cancérigènes au travail, à la protection des lanceurs d'alertes et plus encore.

À venir : Prix Sakharov, contrôles aux frontières, lanceurs d'alerte et plus

La deuxième moitié de 2017 est déjà bien remplie : du débat sur l'état de l'Union européenne au Prix LUX et au Prix Sakharov pour la liberté de pensée, en passant par la crise migratoire, le changement climatique, l'équilibre vie professionnelle/vie privée, les travailleurs détachés et les cookies numériques.
