--------------------
--------------------
The bill that the National Assembly approved in October 2010 contains measures that target Roma and that have been considered incompatible with both the EU law and the international human rights norms. Therefore it has been asked to the French government to change it. Some of the important articles that we should focus our attention are that it expands the cases that the government could hold people in the transit zones reducing their rights and making them vulnerable to quick deportation. This fact effectively violates the right of these people to asylum as they can be deported in a country where their life is in danger without firstly the National Court of Asylum reaches to a decision. The change that has been asked to the French Senate includes also the above mentioned safeguard. The bill would also allow the government to detain foreign terrorism suspects for up to 19 months, even though they have claimed that they would be at risk of torture or ill-treatment if returned to their country of origin. This measure is considered a clear violation of the right of liberty though, according to Human Rights Watch. The French government in its effort to take measures in order to control migration in the country proceeded in violations of basic human rights concerning migration that are both against the European Convention of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on Migrant Workers’ Rights and therefore it should proceed to the change of the bill as the European and International law is above the national in such cases.
