La Médiatrice européenne, Emily O'Reilly, a dressé une liste de bonnes pratiques après avoir examiné les politiques contre le harcèlement dans 26 institutions et agences de l’UE.

Les pratiques en question comprennent une meilleure sensibilisation, une évaluation des risques sur le lieu de travail, un suivi régulier des politiques menées, des formations obligatoires, des procédures rapides et des mesures de protection.

«Alors que les institutions de l’UE ont en général de bonnes politiques contre le harcèlement, mon rapport met en évidence qu’on peut et qu’on doit faire plus pour qu’elles soient en phase avec les attentes légitimes suite au mouvement #MeToo.»

«L’objectif de cette analyse est d’aider à normaliser ces pratiques identifiées au sein de toutes les institutions de l’UE», a dit M^me O’Reilly.

The European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, has drawn up a list of good practices after reviewing the anti-harassment policies in 26 EU institutions and agencies.

The practices cover awareness raising, workplace risk assessment, regular policy monitoring, mandatory training, swift procedures, and rehabilitation measures.

“While the EU institutions generally have good anti-harassment policies, my report shows that more can and must be done to bring them into line with the legitimate expectations of a post #MeToo society.”

“The aim of this mapping exercise is to assist in the standardising of these identified practices across all EU institutions,” said Ms O’Reilly.

Other important measures include allowing trainees to make formal complaints about harassment; regular training for confidential counsellors and the setting up of a pool of independent investigators, which institutions can draw upon during formal harassment investig

At the invitation of the Ombudsman of Portugal, Maria Lúcia Amaral, the third meeting of the Network of Ombudsmen, National Commissions for Human Rights and other Human Rights Institutions of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP Human Rights Network) took place on 13 December in Lisbon.

During the meeting, programmed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it was decided to invigorate the Network created in 2013 and to consolidate, in each National Human Rights Institution, focal contact points aimed at ensuring the exchange of information, including those necessary to resolve specific cases of complaints from citizens involving two or more jurisdictions in the area of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries.

At meeting, which took place at the headquarters of the Portuguese Ombudsman's Office in Lisbon, the members of the CPLP Human Rights Network welcomed the existence in all their countries of entities dedicated to the defence of human rights.

However, they encourage the authorities of São Tomé and Príncipe to establish a truly independent National Human Rights Institution in accordance with the principles of Paris, and offered their support for its constitution and international accreditation process.

The members of the Network also stated concerns for the precarious conditions in which the National Human Rights Commission exercises its mandate in Guinea-Bissau, as well for the fact that the school year has not yet been inaugurated in the country, which could jeopardize the basic right of access to education.

The CPLP-Human Rights Network encompasses the Human Rights Institutions of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Sao Tome and Principe, Timor-Leste and Portugal.
