ASF serves the most vulnerable people waiting for justice

ASF intervenes in countries where human rights are not respected, where political violence and armed conflict reign, and where legal rules are flouted.  Justice in those countries, too often arbitrary, does not guarantee the security of the population.  Conflicts are not satisfactorily resolved before the local courts.  People whose rights have been abused tend to resort to vigilante justice, which evolves into the law of the strongest or richest, and contributes to a climate of violence.

« Au service de la démocratie, de la paix et du développement » - c’est sous cette devise que la Fondation Hanns Seidel place son travail et sa mission. Cette devise s’applique tant à son engagement en Allemagne (et plus particulièrement dans l’État libre de Bavière), qu’à l’étranger. Chaque génération doit acquérir sa propre interprétation de la démocratie. Les tenants et les aboutissants politiques doivent être expliqués au plus jeunes surtout. Il s’agit en effet de la seule manière de les motiver à s’engager en personne et à prendre des responsabilités.
