Why is the role of local authorities essential in promoting, realizing, and respecting human rights?
The duty to lead by example and, very often, to act as the last safety net for many residents. It is the duty of the local authority to support them in living a life of dignity within the territory.
Why are human rights relevant values and a useful framework for guiding local action?
Humanism and solidarity are deeply rooted in our values and naturally define our policy of welcoming and including all people living in our territory, regardless of origin, with dignity. This policy is highly diversified: social support, republican sponsorship, registration of residence and school enrollment, numerous solidarity actions carried out with various local partners. As a result, the communal sense of living together is enriched and strengthened.
To join an international movement of actors facing similar challenges, be part of this synergy, share good practices, and communicate our experiences.
