Question· Question écrite33811open

Question 33811 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 10 October 2020

Mme Florence Provendier alerte M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation humanitaire préoccupante des civils et particulièrement des enfants dans le conflit en Artsakh. Fin septembre 2020, les forces azéries ont attaqué le Haut-Karabakh, faisant de nombreuses victimes et près de 90 000 réfugiés. Depuis, malgré plusieurs appels au cessez-le-feu et l'implication du Président de la République française pour trouver une résolution à ce conflit, la situation reste extrêmement préoccupante. Elle s'interroge plus particulièrement sur la protection accordée aux enfants et souligne que la France est signataire de la Convention internationale des droits des enfants (CIDE). À ce titre, le pays s'est engagé à faire respecter les droits fondamentaux de tous les enfants en France et partout à travers le monde. Aujourd'hui, leurs droits sont en danger voire bafoués dans cette région du Caucase, notamment ceux de ne pas subir la guerre, d'être soigné et d'avoir une alimentation suffisante. Il est donc du devoir de la France de les protéger. Alors que la France est membre du groupe dit de Minsk (OCDE) qui a un rôle de médiation, elle s'interroge sur l'obligatoire impartialité et neutralité de la France dans cette situation. La France est un des premiers à avoir milité pour faire reconnaître un principe d'assistance en faveur des victimes de guerres civiles, persécutions, génocides ou catastrophes naturelles : le principe d'ingérence humanitaire. Au nom de l'urgence et de la solidarité internationale, ce principe trouve son fondement dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'Homme de 1948. Compte tenu de ces éléments et de l'attachement de la France à faire respecter les droits humains en toute circonstance, elle lui demande de tout mettre en œuvre pour apporter une protection légitime aux civils victimes de ce conflit, avec une attention particulière sur le sort réservé aux enfants.

Question· Question écrite33772answered

Question 33772 — logement

France · National Assembly · 10 October 2020

M. Aurélien Taché appelle l'attention de M. le ministre des solidarités et de la santé sur l'enjeu que représente l'amélioration pérenne de la prise en charge des personnes sans domicile fixe, au-delà des mesures d'urgence mises en place pour faire face à la crise sanitaire. Si des actions ont bien été entreprises et des moyens débloqués suite aux annonces successives de couvre-feu puis de reconfinement (entre 20 000 et 30 000 places d'hébergement supplémentaires avec un recours accru aux hôtels, résidences universitaires et internats scolaires vides, et avancement du plan hivernal de deux semaines), ces mesures d'urgence ne permettent pas de prendre en charge l'ensemble des personnes à la rue et ne représentent en rien une solution durable à l'enjeu social majeur que représente le sans-abrisme. En effet, il reste bien des sans-abris à la rue ! Il suffit de sortir pour s'en rendre compte : leur présence est d'ailleurs d'autant plus visible que les rues se vident. Ceux qui restent dehors sont généralement ceux qui y sont depuis le plus longtemps, qui sont les plus abîmés par la vie et qui sont donc les plus fragiles. Les aider est d'autant plus difficile qu'ils souffrent d'une profonde désinsertion sociale, de pathologies associées ou d'addictions diverses. Les prendre en charge suppose alors de disposer certes d'une offre suffisante en termes de volume mais aussi en termes de qualité de l'accueil. Les associations estiment aujourd'hui à 250 000 le nombre de SDF en France. Ceux-ci ne disparaîtront pas avec le virus ou la fin de l'hiver alors que les moyens exceptionnels s'éteindront au retour du printemps. Aussi, alors que les périodes de crise permettent souvent d'innover, on a toujours recours aux recettes habituelles en faisant plus d'hébergement d'urgence, plus de chambres d'hôtel... Or, si on veut se donner l'ambition d'un objectif « zéro SDF », cela passe par l'offre de services d'hébergement, mais aussi par des évolutions stratégiques. Notamment, on persiste à fermer les yeux sur la question des sans-papiers ! En 2019, 80 % des personnes SDF étaient des ressortissants extra-européens et dans les centres d'hébergement d'urgence, il y a une majorité de sans-papiers, alors que, dans les autres types d'hébergement, il faut être en situation régulière. Si l'on ne traite pas la question de l'éternisation administrative des dossiers de régularisation, on ne traite pas la question de l'hébergement d'urgence ! Aussi, la compétence de principe d'hébergement d'urgence revient à l'État avec une implication départementale, en vertu de leur compétence en matière d'aide sociale. Or le problème du sans-abrisme se gère bien souvent au cas par cas, au niveau des individus, du quartier, de la rue. Décentraliser la prise en charge des sans-abris en la confiant aux villes ou aux agglomérations en échange de moyens financiers permettrait une gestion plus directe, efficace et adaptée aux réalités de terrain. C'est d'ailleurs ce que font la plupart des métropoles européennes. Aussi, alors que les citoyens sont appelés à rester chez eux, il lui demande quelle est la stratégie de long terme envisagée par le Gouvernement pour ceux qui n'ont pas de toit. Personne ne devrait dormir dehors ! Quelles sont les mesures pérennes et de long terme qui seront mises en place afin d'aller vers cet objectif ? Il souhaite connaître ses intentions sur ce sujet.
