L’#AGCNB took a position on the PPL relating to information and legal assistance in administrative detention and in waiting areas, adopted by the Senate on 12 May.
A text that raises serious concerns on the part of the legal profession in terms of access to law and justice and freedoms and human rights.
In particular, the PPL provides that the OFII, a body affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior and responsible for the execution of removal measures by organising the return of foreigners to their country or to countries of transit, is in charge of the task of providing access to the right to attention of persons placed in administrative detention or in waiting areas and that the intervention of associations is abolished
However, the transfer of responsibilities for information and access to law missions to the OFII, which is in charge of deportation, would seriously undermine the effectiveness of the rights of detained foreigners.
In addition, the CNB recalls that associations have an indispensable and complementary role with that of lawyers, who will not be able to replace associations in carrying out all missions, especially since the PPL is totally vague on the financial support of lawyers’ access to law missions, which could only be set up in the form of daily lawyers’ permanence.
