Question 3793 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

M. Guillaume Garot alerte M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation en Libye. En novembre 2017, des images capturées par CNN révélaient une scène atroce : la vente d'hommes noirs dans des marchés aux esclaves. On découvrira alors ce que l'Organisation internationale pour les migrations dénonce depuis avril 2017 : la vente de migrants d'Afrique noire sur des marchés aux esclaves en Libye, dans un pays où 390 000 migrants sont bloqués, et 9 000 sont privés de liberté. Une situation qui démontre la limite de la stratégie des hotspots migratoires récemment mise en place. La Libye est pourtant membre de plusieurs organisations internationales ou régionales : l'ONU, l'Union africaine, la Ligue arabe et l'Organisation de la coopération islamique. Ainsi, il lui demande de préciser quelles mesures la France compte prendre pour s'opposer efficacement à la perpétuation de ces crimes qui se déroulent sur le sol libyen.

Question 3792 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

M. Patrice Anato attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation des migrants subsahariens en Libye. Le 14 novembre 2017, la chaine américaine CNN publiait une vidéo en caméra cachée montrant la vente aux enchères d'êtres humains dans une maison près de Tripoli, capitale de la Libye. Deux migrants d'origine subsaharienne y étaient vendus pour 700 euros. Au total, douze nigérians vont être vendus lors de cette abominable vente aux enchères. Cette vidéo insoutenable filmant un marché aux esclaves des temps modernes n'est que l'une des nombreuses ignominies connues par les migrants sur les routes migratoires libyennes. De l'esclavage à la torture, des rackets aux enlèvements, les droits humains et la dignité de ces femmes et hommes sont régulièrement foulés au pied par des individus sans scrupules et sans états d'âmes. Il n'est pas acceptable qu'au XXIe siècle, le commerce et le trafic d'esclaves puissent perdurer. Début 2017, l'Union européenne et la Libye ont conclu un accord sur la gestion des flux migratoires en provenance des côtes libyennes. En échange de fonds et d'une aide logistique, les garde-côtes interceptent les embarcations et reconduisent les migrants dans les centres de rétentions. Or, si dans une logique de coopération internationale en matière de migration, la Libye est notre partenaire en tant qu'une des principales routes migratoires vers l'Europe, il est évident que, toute coopération dans laquelle la France prend part se fonde sur le respect des valeurs républicaines dans laquelle la dignité humaine et les droits humains sont des conditions inaliénables. La France ne peut donc rester insensible à cette situation. En conséquence, il lui demande de bien vouloir préciser la position de la France à ce sujet, notamment sur la lutte contre les passeurs et les trafics d'êtres humains, ainsi que les mesures envisagées pour garantir la protection et le respect des droits humains des migrants en Libye.

Question 3732 — état civil

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

Mme Nathalie Elimas interroge M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur les conditions de régularisation d'un étranger remplissant les conditions fixées par le 4° de l'article L. 313-11 du code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile, ayant vécu dans un pays tiers jusqu'au décès de leur conjoint français. Considérant qu'il n'y a juridiquement pas de veuvage sans mariage et que ce statut, subi, ne marque pas une rupture de la communauté de vie jusqu'à un éventuel nouveau mariage, elle s'étonne que les services de l'État s'appuient sur la circulaire NOR INTK1229185C du 28 novembre 2012 pour refuser des demandes d'admission au séjour déposées par des ressortissants étrangers - notamment francophones - veufs de Français, ayant vécu jusqu'au décès de leur conjoint avec ce dernier dans un pays tiers. Elle souhaiterait savoir si le Gouvernement entend légiférer pour assouplir les conditions d'examen des personnes précitées.
