On June 16, 2023, OIAD\u2019s Annual General Assembly was held in Marseille, attended by almost 80 participants both online and at the Maison des Avocats de Marseille.<\/p>

The event was marked by the testimonies of lawyers from around the world who agreed to share their experiences within the profession, along with the adoption of the activity, strategic and financial reports. It was also highlighted by the handover of the Presidency and the election of a new member to the Observatory\u2019s Board, the first awarding of the Observatory Human Rights Award, as well as thematic workshops which enabled members to exchange views.<\/p>

Au-del\u00e0 des t\u00e9moignages apport\u00e9s par les avocats, la pr\u00e9sentation du rapport d\u2019activit\u00e9 de l\u2019OIAD a mis en avant les activit\u00e9s mises en \u0153uvre par l\u2019Observatoire, notamment dans le cadre tr\u00e8s actuel de la situation des avocats en danger en Afghanistan et en Turquie, pour lesquels sont respectivement intervenus Francesco Caia et Rusen Aytac, mais \u00e9galement en Iran et en Colombie.<\/p>

Celles-ci s\u2019inscrivent dans la m\u00eame lign\u00e9e que l\u2019initiative de cofinancement du documentaire<\/a> \u00ab Desterrados \u00bb, relatif \u00e0 la protection de l\u2019avocat colombien Adil Mel\u00e9ndez.<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cMis colegas en Afganist\u00e1n y yo fuimos amenazados e incluso golpeados repetidamente. En un caso, el 12 de agosto de 2021, me vi obligado a huir de Herat y abandonar mi hogar y mi vida (\u2026)\u201d, dice Hossain Haydari, abogado en Afganist\u00e1n.<\/span><\/p>

M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los testimonios de los abogados, la presentaci\u00f3n del informe de actividades del OIAD puso de relieve las actividades llevadas a cabo por el Observatorio, en particular en el contexto muy actual de la situaci\u00f3n de los abogados en peligro en Afganist\u00e1n y en Turqu\u00eda, seg\u00fan lo cual Francesco Caia y Rusen Aytac respectivamente intervino, pero tambi\u00e9n en Ir\u00e1n y Colombia.<\/span><\/p>

Estos est\u00e1n en l\u00ednea con la iniciativa de cofinanciamiento del <\/span>documental <\/span><\/a> \u201cDesterrados\u201d, relacionado con la protecci\u00f3n del abogado colombiano Adil Mel\u00e9ndez.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Finalmente, la Asamblea General fue tambi\u00e9n una oportunidad para compartir los avances y el papel de la OIAD como observador en el proyecto de convenio para la protecci\u00f3n de los abogados llevado por el Consejo de Europa y apoyado por Alfredo Irujo y Massimo Audisio durante la Asamblea, que podr\u00eda constituir una oportunidad \u00fanica para la defensa de los abogados, en primera l\u00ednea ante los riesgos de la profesi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>

Enfin, l\u2019un des temps forts de cette Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier d\u00e9cernement du prix de l\u2019OIAD, cr\u00e9\u00e9 en avril 2023, dont l\u2019objectif est de r\u00e9compenser un avocat ou organisation d\u2019avocats agissant en faveur des droits humains dans le monde. Ainsi, pour la premi\u00e8re fois, l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Observatoire, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Gavaudan, a remis le prix \u00e0 l\u2019Union des Barreaux Turcs.<\/p>

Les membres de l\u2019OIAD ont eu l\u2019occasion d\u2019\u00e9changer sur leurs exp\u00e9riences respectives<\/strong><\/h4>

\u00c0 la suite de ce vote incontest\u00e9 et comme \u00e0 l\u2019accoutum\u00e9e, l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale a \u00e9t\u00e9 ponctu\u00e9e par la passation de la pr\u00e9sidence de J\u00e9r\u00f4me Gavaudan, Pr\u00e9sident du Conseil National des Barreaux, \u00e0 Vincent Nior\u00e9, Vice-B\u00e2tonnier du Barreau de Paris, qui endossera le r\u00f4le durant la p\u00e9riode 2023-2024.<\/p>

La fin de la pr\u00e9sidence de l\u2019OIAD de J\u00e9r\u00f4me Gavaudan est toutefois accompagn\u00e9e de l\u2019\u00e9lection du Barreau de Gen\u00e8ve comme nouveau membre du Bureau de l\u2019Observatoire, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du Barreau de Milan et des membres fondateurs.<\/p>

Par la suite, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 abord\u00e9s diff\u00e9rents moyens d\u2019action de l\u2019Observatoire dans le cadre d\u2019ateliers th\u00e9matiques.

L\u2019Observatoire tient \u00e0 remercier ses membres pour leur pr\u00e9sence, physique comme en ligne au cours de cette Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, en faveur de la d\u00e9fense des avocats en danger dans le monde.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
