Concept de first responders en Suisse romande: état des lieux et perspectives [Concept of first responders in Western Switzerland: current situation and future perspectives].

The notion of "First Responder" (FR) refers to the system of first-aid volunteers who act to initiate the first-aid care before the classical emergency help arrives. In 2011, the French-speaking Switzerland counts 19 groups, divided up between four cantons (Fribourg, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Valais). The geographical distribution of those FR shows the stakes of these peripherical areas, with the accessibility difficulties for the emergency services, and a low demography of ambulances and doctors. The number of interventions carried out by the FR has significantly increased during the last years. The association of a quality formation, an excellent knowledge of the ground and a quick intervention has a positive impact on the survival of the patients with vital emergency or traumatic conditions.

Le partage des responsabilités dans l'espace Dublin, entre confiance mutuelle et sécurité des demandeurs d'asile

On 21 January 2011, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered its judgment in the case of MSS v. Belgium and Greece. This judgment puts into question the practices followed by many national authorities in the implementation of the Dublin system. Particularly noteworthy are the effects on the "safety presumption" that Member States accord to each other in the field of asylum. The authors explore the implications of the MSS decision, first, in regard of the evidentiary requirements imposed on asylum seekers to rebut the safety presumption. They come to the conclusion that through the decision, a real paradigm-shift has taken place - from the theoretical to the actual supremacy of the non-refoulement principle in Dublin matters. This is also true in light of the increased requirements imposed by the Court as regards the scope and depth of judicial review on transfer decisions. Moreover, the MSS judgment could give new impetus to the stalled reform process concerning the Dublin Regulation. Indeed, the Court's decision seems to enshrine in positive ECHR law the most progressive elements of the Commission's proposal, including procedural guarantees and, de facto, the mechanism for the temporary suspension of transfers to member states not offering adequate protection.

Bientraitance : revue de la littérature et état des lieux

[Introduction (extrait)] Depuis 2000, la notion de «bientraitance» est de plus en plus couramment utilisée, notamment en France et en Belgique. Pourtant, les contours de cette notion sont encore flous. Cet ouvrage relève les différentes perspectives adoptées autour du thème de la bientraitance des enfants et soulève les interrogations inhérentes à toute tentative de définition : Qu'est-ce que la bientraitance ? Qui s'y intéresse et quel est l'intérêt d'une telle notion ? Qu'est-ce qui est efficace ? Quel est l'apport d'une perspective de santé publique ? Quelles interventions recommander?
