Les Personnes Déplacées de la Corne de l'Afrique
No full textHuman suffering within the Horn has become endemic. The multidimensional crisis that has surrounded the region for decades has been exacerbated by inter- and intra-ethnic violence, conflicts and wars. These conflicts and wars have had disastrous social, economic, political and environmental consequences - in particular human displacement within the Horn. This paper defines new categories of refugees. The author questions whether displaced people in the Horn are Convention refugees, environmental refugees or simply economic migrants. The problems that they face in the first country of asylum and the resettlement country are discussed.La souffrance humaine dans la Corne de l'Afrique est devenue endémique. La crise multidimensionnelle qui entoure la région depuis des décennies a été exacerbée par des violences, des conflits et des guerres inter- et intra-ethniques. Ces conflits et ces guerres ont eu des conséquences sociales, économiques, politiques et environnementales désastreuses, en particulier les déplacements de populations dans la Corne de l'Afrique. Ce document définit de nouvelles catégories de réfugiés. L'auteur se demande si les personnes déplacées dans la Corne sont des réfugiés au sens de la Convention, des réfugiés environnementaux ou simplement des migrants économiques. Les problèmes auxquels elles sont confrontées dans le premier pays d'asile et dans le pays de réinstallation sont examinés
Analyse Des Lacunes Législatives En Matière De Protection Contre Les Risques Biotechnologiques En RDC
No full textThe Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces increasing biotechnological risks linked to the rise of synthetic biology, genetic manipulation, and the potential proliferation of dangerous biological agents. While the national legal framework remains embryonic and fragmented, biotechnology is expanding in several sectors, including agriculture, health, the environment, animal husbandry, and agro-industry. The prevention of biotechnology-related risks is based on the Cartagena Protocol, which states parties, including the DRC, have ratified and committed to establishing legal and administrative mechanisms to ensure adequate safety against probable negative effects on the environment, as well as on human and animal health. Despite these commitments, it is unfortunate to note that the DRC has not been able to implement them effectively and efficiently. This is why this study identifies the main shortcomings in Congolese biotechnology legislation and suggests ways to harmonize it with regional and international standards.
