Source text - English South Africa: Surge in KwaZulu-Natal demonstrations
Ahead of the May presidential election, demonstrations increased by more than 20% in March from the previous month in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province — with many gathering to share concerns over power outages and salary increases.4 March marked the third consecutive month of increased demonstrations in KZN province, with most events concentrated in Durban’s urban area. Major political parties have been echoing these popular grievances, also emphasizing employment, an end to load shedding, and solutions to address the high cost of living.5 The ruling ANC party faces declining support in KZN province, which is home to almost 21% of the registered population.6 Concerningly, riots more than doubled last month compared to February. A strategic political battleground even before the end of apartheid in 1994, KZN province has also been the epicenter of violence targeting local government officials in South Africa.
Translation - French Afrique du Sud : Hausse des manifestations dans le KwaZulu-Natal
À l’approche des élections présidentielles de mai, les manifestations ont augmenté de plus de 20 % en mars par rapport au mois précédent dans la province du KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) – de nombreuses personnes se rassemblant pour partager leurs préoccupations concernant les pannes de courant et les augmentations de salaires.10 Le mois de mars correspond à un troisième mois consécutif d’augmentation des manifestations dans la province de KZN, la plupart des événements étant concentrés dans la zone urbaine de Durban. Les principaux partis politiques ont fait écho à ces griefs populaires, mettant également l’accent sur l’emploi, la fin du délestage et sur les solutions pour remédier au coût de la vie.11 Le parti au pouvoir, le CNA, fait face à une baisse du soutien dans la province de KZN, qui abrite près de 21% de la population enregistrée du pays.12 Un fait se veut inquiétant : les émeutes ont plus que doublé le mois dernier par rapport à février. Terrain d’affrontement politique stratégique avant même la fin de l’apartheid en 1994, la province de KZN a également été l’épicentre des violences visant les membres du gouvernement local en Afrique du Sud.
English to French: Switzerland Statelessness Index
Source text - English Switzerland is party to the 1954 Convention and to most relevant human rights instruments, but it has not acceded to other core statelessness treaties. There is an administrative procedure in place to determine statelessness, but it is not set in law nor in line with good practice. The protection granted under the procedure is often limited to a one-year renewable residence permit and the definition of a stateless person currently applied is not in line with the 1954 Convention. Nonetheless, claims to determine statelessness must be considered, decisions can be appealed, and basic minimum support is available to applicants. In 2017, the Swiss Government has accepted a recommendation through the Universal Periodic Review to formalise and ensure the procedure is fair and accessible, and has agreed to bring the definition of a stateless person in line with the Convention. These changes have so far not been implemented.
Translation - French La Suisse est partie à la Convention de 1954 et aux instruments les plus pertinents aux droits humains, mais n’a pas encore adhéré à d’autres traités essentiels sur l’apatridie. Il existe une procédure administrative en place pour déterminer l’apatridie, mais celle-ci n’a pas été définie dans la loi ni alignée sur les bonnes pratiques. La protection accordée conformément à cette procédure se limite souvent à un permis de séjour renouvelable chaque année et la définition actuellement appliquée à un apatride n’est pas conforme à la Convention de 1954. Néanmoins, les réclamations visant à déterminer l'apatridie doivent être considérées, les décisions peuvent être contestées, et une aide minimale basique est disponible pour les demandeurs. En 2017, le gouvernement suisse a accepté une recommandation par l’Examen périodique universel pour formaliser et assurer que la procédure soit équitable et accessible, et a accepté d’adapter la définition d’un apatride conformément à la Convention. Ces changements n’ont pas été appliqués jusqu’à présent.
