On March 18, 1996, 330 Africans 'undocumented', men women and children, entered the church of Saint Ambrose in Paris. The French police evacuated the church on 22 March. They followed similar protests such as hunger strike three hundred Africans "without papers" in the church oak of St. Bernard on June 28; expelled on 23 August. oak On December 21, 1996, and culminating oak with the protests against the infamous bill Debra, according to which anyone who has provided shelter oak to immigrants 'without papers' should inform their local police department, otherwise committing "accommodation offense" in Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre, held a grand solidarity. The speech of Jacques there Nterrinta entitled "Failures of the right to justice (but so what is missing in" undocumented "?)"

In solidarity with the immigrants on hunger oak strike in Athens and Thessaloniki, with our thoughts on the cannibalism gloomy climate that certainly threatens far more than the rights of immigrants, we publish excerpts from this text thoughtful, bright example of the intervention of the intellectual and civic Jacques Nterrinta.

The deficits should be what accounts for this paper. The right, right to right. We assume that the "paperless" ultimately "without oak right" and under outlawed. The question of the physiological status oak and identity as a citizen just refrain from simply questioning of identity. One could say that it lacks anything more than a certain thing, a thing among other things: is naked and exposed, without rights, without resorting, in the absence of substantive thing. Without anything.
