Résumé anglais Bertrand Main, The action of the League for Human Rights : one of the century's campaigns Brief history and outline of the action at the present time of the oldest of the organizations for the defence of human rights (the League was founded in 1898 at the time of the Dreyfus Affair) : the League's concern for justice has led it from moral protests to political action, from legal action to social struggles, from the defence of the existing legislation to the campaign for a new law, while at the same time defending the rights of workers in firms and those of colonised peoples ; this concern has now led the League to propose new forms of citizenship (in particular voting rights for immigrants in local elections).
