  European Court of Human Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article refers to the European Court of Human Rights, a Council of Europe institution; it should not be confused with the separate European Court of Justice, which is the Supreme Court of the European Union (EU).
For example, according to the Human Rights Information Bulletin (issued by the Council of Europe), between 1 November 2003 and 29 February 2004 the Court dealt with 7315 cases, of which 6255 were declared inadmissible.
The court found that while their internment was a violation of the convention rights, it was justifiable in the circumstances; it however ruled that the practice of the five techniques and the practice of beating prisoners constituted inhumane and degrading punishment in violation of the convention, although not torture.

 Right of Asylum
Now, this sacred right, this fundamental freedom, this value of the Republic, is in crisis, deep crisis, according to the very terms of the Commission des lois report.
All this is destabilizing for the applicants, and hardly conducive to the defence of their rights, since the casual nature of their housing means they are soon lost sight of by OFPRA, the prefectures and social services which need to be able to call them in for interview.
Breathing new life into the right of asylum means affirming before the world that France continues to live by her values and her traditions, that she remains committed to the principle of justice which should be our guide as we build the new world.

Right now there are a lot of leftwing voters out there kicking themselves for having voted for a Trotskyist candidate rather than for Jospin.
But that won't reverse the fact that France has dispensed with a taboo here: They've got a neo-fascist into the second round of a presidential campaign, because enough French people are buying his message of law and order through curbing immigration.
The Socialists already control the parliament, and the French have become comfortable with "cohabitation" (where the presidency is held by one party and the legislature and government by its opposition).

 France's Return to the Right - Harvey B. Feigenbaum
Harvey B. Feigenbaum teaches political science at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He is the author of The Politics of Public Enterprise: Oil and the French State (Princeton University Press, 1985) and is coauthor of Politics and Government in Europe Today (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1990).
Gallic voters have opted for a power-sharing arrangement that they call "Cohabitation." Under France's unusual political system, power is shared between the president, prime minister, and Parliament in ways that, under some conditions, are not clearly defined by the constitution of 1958.
This in turn depends on the relative strength of the prime minister's parliamentary majority and on the political skills of the president.

 CONCLUSIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON THE RIGHT TO HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE, PARIS, FRANCE, 1995
UNESCO held a Colloquium on the Right to Humanitarian Assistance, in Paris, on 25, 26 and 27 January 1995.
It was stressed that certain major humanitarian assistance operations met with little understanding on the part of the general public, particularly on account of the ambiguity about the very concept of humanitarian assistance that was caused when humanitarian operations were carried out by armed forces entrusted with a non-military mission.
The Colloquium also focused its attention on the problem of determining the active and passive participants in such a right, the de facto conditions which should trigger its implementation at the international level, and effective ways of ensuring that such a right was respected.

 News Analysis: France Bids Farewell to Right-Left 'Cohabitation'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The right coalition supporting re-elected President Jacques Chirac achieved a sweeping majority in the 577-seat lower house of the National Assembly, the Interior Ministry announced after counting votes in the 555 mainland constituencies and 11 of its 22 constituencies in overseas departments and territories.
The right coalition thus secured the right to appoint a new prime minister and form a new government and, more importantly, a repeat of power-sharing "cohabitation" is avoided.
Now that the presidential and parliamentary elections in France have ended with a right win, French voters are turning their eyes on the new leaders and the new government, keen to know how they deal with the problems facing France today.

 Voters in France reject right-wing parties
The results were determined by a revolt of working-class and left voters against the Socialist Party, which has been the governing party in France for most of the last 20 years and had carried out the policy of the right rather than the policies voted for by its supporters.
The reaction to the right’s attacks on the gains of workers was the basis for its electoral disaster in the regional elections.
The main reason for this seems to have been that, facing the attacks of the right, most voters looked for an immediate practical alternative in the parliamentary left parties, despite their well known betrayals.

 H-Net Review: Samuel Goodfellow on The Right in France, 1789-1997
Miranda Pollard confronts the issue of the right's view of women, arguing that the ideas of women, right, and politics were in a state of flux from the 1930s to the 1950s.
Nevertheless, the right had in her view an "intensely antifeminist and intensely political" discourse about women that was alternatively mute on the issue of women and obsessed with women's collective role as the regenerators of France.
The right is difficult to pin down because its strands cross over and because at times it cannot even clearly distinguish itself from the left.
