Conference - The right to beg: a question of poverty or human rights?

History
In March, the municipal council of Arlon hosted a debate on "the problem of begging." This discussion led to an amendment of the general police regulation with the aim of fighting the "feeling of insecurity." Begging is now prohibited in front of shops, within a 10-meter perimeter around ATMs, and during specific events. However, the European Court of Human Rights recognizes the right to beg as a fundamental right. This conference proposes to analyze how far such prohibitions can go without infringing on human rights and what social message begging conveys. Jacques Fierens, a lawyer and emeritus professor who has devoted much of his career to the rights of excluded people, will speak on the subject.
