Sami Naïr, Human rights and social demands (the case of Maghreb). Interview by René Gallissot
René Gallissot's interview with Sami Naïr concerns the significance of struggles for human rights in Third World countries, and in particular in the Maghreb. Although both authors note the limits of the concept of human rights in these societies, Sami Naïr lays heavier stress on the necessity, for the social forces which uphold such demands, of moving towards a mobilisation for democracy, and in more radical fashion, of linking the demands for the guaranteed civil rights of persons with the social demands of the most disfavored layers of the population. Naïr then goes on to speak of the specific characteristics of this struggle for democracy, stressing the structural weakness of the ruling classes ; the significance, in this context, of political absolutism and absolutist forms of the state ; and finally, the existence of marginalised social layers in growing numbers. These aspects imply considerable difficulties regarding processes of mobilisation ; the author attempts to reflect on the ways of surmounting these obstacles. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
