  • Tunisians Abroad Bring their Support for the Nomination of UGTT to the Nobel Peace Prize

    from facilitfsm on Jun 11, 2014 03:11 PM
     *Tunisians Abroad Bring their Support for the Nomination of UGTT to the
    Nobel Peace Prize*
    
    
    
    The nomination of the labor union, UGTT, to the Nobel Prize is gaining
    ground both in Tunisia and abroad, honoring not only the workers and the
    labor organization militants, but also all Tunisians wherever they are.
    
    “The nomination of the UGTT for the Nobel Prize is neither an act of
    allegiance nor that of glorification; it is fundamentally an ethical
    recognition that goes beyond political and trade union issues,” stated the
    letter signed by several university presidents who were behind this
    initiative.
    
    And it is fundamentally this ethical dimension that has allowed the UGTT
    throughout all its history to take action, both at the union and political
    levels, to help Tunisia, a multidimensional society, move peacefully
    towards democracy, freedom, dignity and social justice despite a regional
    context marked by the upsurge of violence.
    
    The UGTT, a trade union organization that was born in the particular
    context of colonization, has, since its foundation, played a key role in
    the liberation of the country, skillfully reconciling union and national
    struggle. Farhat Hached, the founder, paid for this with his life in 1952.
    
     It is precisely this historic role that gave the trade union organization
    a prime position in building the newly-independent country. The major
    social reforms and the key public institutions bore, undoubtedly, the
    traces of the UGTT.
    
    Thereafter, that role has never faltered.
    
    Despite hardships, setbacks or repressions, the UGTT has carried on to be a
    space for the defense of public freedom, a refuge for militants and human
    rights activists. Thus and during the dark years of repression, the UGTT
    was one of the rare public spaces that could offer a haven to political and
    human rights militants.
    
    Likewise, during the 2010-2011 revolution the UGTT welcomed and monitored
    youths and demonstrators.
    
    For decades, this role has widely contributed to strengthen the peaceful
    struggle for freedom in Tunisia. Also, it was proved to be essential during
    the 2010-2011 revolution when the country was spared from violence and
    civil war.
    
    Lately when Tunisia was caught up in an escalating turmoil with political
    assassinations and a deepening crisis of institutions, the UGTT, along with
    other important civil society organizations, conducted a national dialogue
    between political parties, thus  saving the country from possible chaotic
    scenarios and breaking the deadlock in the civil and pacific transition to
    democracy.
    
     Also, the UGTT has kept on, in concert with a wide range of Tunisian civil
    society, fostering a real culture of dialogue in the political, social and
    institutional life, as an antidote against violence. And because of this
    very peaceful dimension almost distinctive to the 14 January 2011
    revolution, many people rightfully speak of *the Tunisian exception*.
    
    It is therefore legitimate for Tunisians to get involved and rally together
    so that this major part played by the UGTT in the history of the country
    would be recognized and rewarded. But the Nobel Prize is more than just
    recognition and reward: it raises hope and sets the example across the Arab
    world and beyond.
    
    Tunisians abroad, French citizens of Tunisian origins, friends of Tunisia
    in France and throughout the world could only express their pride of the
    role played by the UGTT. At the same time, they welcome and strongly
    support its nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

      >
      > Lately when Tunisia was caught up in an escalating turmoil with political

      > scenarios and breaking the deadlock in the civil and pacific transition to
      > democracy.
      >
      >  Also, the UGTT has kept on, in concert with a wide range of Tunisian
      > civil society, fostering a real culture of dialogue in the political,
      > social and institutional life, as an antidote against violence. And because
      > of this very peaceful dimension almost distinctive to the 14 January 2011
      > revolution, many people rightfully speak of *the Tunisian exception*.
      >
      > It is therefore legitimate for Tunisians to get involved and rally
      > together so that this major part played by the UGTT in the history of the

      >
      > Tunisians abroad, French citizens of Tunisian origins, friends of Tunisia

    • Re: Tunisians Abroad Bring their Support for the Nomination of UGTT to the Nobel Peace Prize

      from Gustavo Massiah on Jun 14, 2014 01:02 PM
      
      Chère Francine
      
      tu peux prendre contact avec l'un des initiateurs
      qui recueille les signatures pour le Comité international de soutien
      
      Lassaad El Asmi <lassaad.elasmi@...>
      
      voici ci-dessous le mail que j'ai envoyé pour les soutenir
      je voudrais le traduire en d'autres langues avant de l'envoyer à la 
      liste du CI
      
      amitiés
      gus
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      *Invitation à participer au Comité international de soutien à la 
      candidature de l’UGTT au Prix Nobel de la Paix *
      
      Chères amies, chers amis
      
      Vous savez le rôle considérable qu'a joué et que continue à jouer 
      l'UGTT (Union générale des travailleurs tunisiens). Ce rôle central en 
      Tunisie s'est largement étendu à la Région et au monde.
      
      C'est un exemple remarquable de ce que peut l'action d'un 
      syndicat, ancré dans sa société, engagé dans les luttes sociales et 
      démocratiques.
      L'UGTT a été déterminante dans la lutte anti-coloniale et la 
      décolonisation, dans la résistance contre la dictature de la période Ben 
      Ali, dans la révolution tunisienne de 2010-2011. Elle a mené, avec trois 
      autres associations de la société tunisienne, les médiations qui ouvrent 
      une possibilité de transition civile et pacifique pour la société 
      tunisienne.
      L'UGTT a joué un rôle essentiel dans la réussite du Forum social mondial 
      2013, et s'est complètement engagée dans la préparation du Forum social 
      mondial 2015, qui se déroulera pour la seconde fois en Tunisie.
      
      Quatre Présidents d'Université en Tunisie, Lassaad Asmi (Université de 
      Carthage), Hassen Bacha (Université de Jendouba), Hmaied Ben Aziza 
      (Université de Tunis), Chokri Mabkhout ((Université de Manouba) ont pris 
      l'initiative de proposer la candidature de l'UGTT au Prix Nobel de la Paix.
      
      Cette proposition a été acceptée par l'UGTT.
      La candidature de l'UGTT est largement soutenue en Tunisie par de très 
      nombreuses associations (LTDH, FTDES...), des militants des droits 
      humains, des syndicalistes, des universitaires.
      Les deux présidents d'Université ont proposé à l'ancien maire de 
      Paris, Bertrand Delanoé – qui a accepté –, de présider le comité 
      international de soutien à la candidature de l'UGTT au Prix Nobel de la 
      Paix.
      
      
      *Nous voudrions vous inviter à faire partie de ce comité 
      international. Si vous en êtes d'accord, vous pouvez envoyer très 
      rapidement votre nom et les titres de présentation que vous choisirez, à
      Lassaad ASMI 00 216 71 748 540 **lassaad.elasmi@...*
