Aïda Chouk – France

Excerpt: France – Wiesenthal Center officials met with the heads of the French Magistrates Union The President of the Magistrates Union, Judge Aida Chouk, felt that, « though, since 2001, the law had been reinforced, the volume of juvenile delinquency and recidivism had overloaded the judicial system. Moreover, as prison sentences were repressive and counter-productive, the tendency was to impose a research assignment on antisemitism. [Because] most offenders are uneducated minors from Paris slum peripheries, such [prison] penalties are not the answer, » he asserted. Chouk felt that a global approach was needed to train judges, police and teachers as partners to the solution. The Wiesenthal Center will continue to urge that tougher sentencing become a part of that approach.
