| Résumé : |
FR - Cette publication fait suite à un long cheminement jalonné notamment par la Charte des responsabilités humaines de Lille (2001) et la Charte des ONG internationales sur l’obligation de rendre des comptes de Londres (2006). Elle est le fruit de travaux en ateliers, de rencontres et interviews, conduits de 2003 à 2007 à travers l’Europe auprès de responsables du monde associatif par la Fondation pour les Générations Futures (Belgique), en partenariat avec la Fondation Bernheim (Belgique), la Fondation Charles Léopold Mayer (France/Suisse) et le CEDAC (Belgique). Les principaux enseignements de ces travaux ont été rassemblés sous la plume d’Erik Rydberg, journaliste, directeur du GRESEA (Belgique).Cette publication se présente comme une contribution au débat international en cours sur l’éthique et la responsabilité des associations.
EN - The question of the ethics and responsibilities of associations dates back only recently and is yet to find its way. This publication aims to provide the reader with a series of reference points with regard to this topic, starting from a number of questions: when and in which context have these concerns on the ethics and responsibilities of associations started to emerge? What new vistas do these issues open up for citizen associations? The notions of responsibility and accountability are at the heart of any ethical commitment. This publication questions these notions, taking into account the International NGO Accountability Charter (London 2006). After having claimed pledges of virtuousness from multinational corporations, the associations found themselves obliged to endorse the same kind of accountability. The philosophical considerations on the responsibility of associations, following that of the private sector, pose four key questions. Who should be responsible? To whom? What for? How? But we need to raise other questions to go deeper into the discussion. Who defines the terms of this discussion? Can the responsibility of associations coexist with a mental prefabricated cast? Are the European «civil dialogue» and the European legalisation of associations part of the problem of responsibility or of its solution? Will large professional associations be able to survive? Is there still room for plurality in a landscape of associations that is increasingly dominated by competition? This critical reflection, carried out by the associations, is under a double external pressure: from public opinion and from donors. Consequently, there is a risk that it might embrace the real or supposed requirements of donors. The conclusions are necessarily provisional, since the debate is still in progress. This reflection on the ethics and responsibilities of associations is a promising way to keep exploring their purpose. This publication is the fruit of a long journey that has been punctuated with milestones such as the Lille Charter on Human Responsibilities (2001) and the International NGO Accountability Charter of London (2006). It is the result of workshops and interviews carried out all over Europe with representatives of associations between 2003 and 2007 by the Foundation for Future Generations (Belgium), in partnership with the Bernheim Foundation (Belgium), the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation (France/Switzerland) and CEDAC (Belgium). The main lessons from this work have been drawn by Erik Rydberg, journalist and director of GRESEA (Belgium).This publication should be considered as a contribution to the current international debate on the ethics and responsibilities of associations. |
