The legislator has created countless devices to compete in the well-being of the population. But still should the texts be applied. In a view made Thursday, March 24, the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH) urges governments to “rethink access to rights”, too many individuals being banished even as the phenomenon has been identified for years. In passing, this instance implicitly criticizes the idea defended – among others – by Emmanuel Macron and Valérie Pécresse to condition the active solidarity income (RSA) to an activity.
Information deficit, incomprehensible texts, excessively heavy, discriminating practices, self-exclusion related to a feeling of shame … Many are the reasons that lead people not to benefit from the measures put in place for them. This difficulty has been well documented in the field of social benefits by a profusion of reports. Thus, those who do not perceive the RSA while they are eligible account for about 30% of the target public, hundreds of thousands of households.
The “non-remedy” affects other fields than solidarity: housing, education, vocational training … In some cases, the administration is directly responsible for the difficulties. The CNCDH evokes, for example, migrants in Calaisis that have been expelled on the basis of “erroneous procedures”, placing them in the impossibility “to bring an appeal”. Such situations go against “the effectiveness of human rights” and have only been “amplifies” with the sanitary crisis.
“A unique referent”
That’s why the authors of the review alert on “the imperious necessity” to take the problem, in order to “respect the rights of each citizen” and “ensure efficiency politics “. “It is important to put an end to the stigma of rights topics to which he is reproached a so-called social assistant at the same time that they feel abandoned by the state”, they point out. And remember that “rights can not be conditional on prior descent of homework”. An allusion transparent to Mr. Macron’s project and by M me Pécresse to submit the allocation of the RSA to a fortnight to twenty hours of activity per week.
The CNCDH traces about fifteen tracks to get out of denial. It recommends, in particular, to define the policies with the people who are concerned by them. According to it, it is necessary to propose, to users and public service agents, “clear and intelligible” information systems. The authors of the opinion also advocate “a single point of entry or a single referent adapted to the needs and situation of [each], while emphasizing the virtues of the strategies” to “go to”. ” They also suggest to “simplify the operation” digital platforms and “preserve a physical welcome” for those who are not comfortable with the Internet. “The human” must, more than ever, be replaced “at the heart of devices”.
