Pour Une Planète Sans Frontières
To defend the right to understand and to be understood
Pour Une Sans Frontières, PUPSF, an organisation based on the international solidarity law of 1901, was created in October 2009 in order to meet certain challenges, such as stating the law and being understood in such a way as to allow any foreign person, whatever their origin or level of resources, to defend their rights on French territory.
Based on this goal, the PUPSF team has developed a specific approach to these issues, providing lawyers/interpreters, who will speak the law in order to be understood by their interlocutors. Understanding and being understood are at the heart of the concerns of legal information offered in several languages.
Over the past few years, PUPSF has set up a platform of legal, geopolitical and linguistic assistance services.
PUPSF participates each year at the European level in the Consultative Forum of the EASO (European Asylum Support Office), an agency of the European Union.
As a human scale organisation, PUPSF is able to work with its partners located throughout France, more than a hundred volunteer interpreters and legal researchers.
The head office of PUPSF is in Paris. PUPSF has 12 local branches: Chambéry, Clermont Ferrand, Grenoble, Lyon, Metz, Poitiers, Quimper, Rennes, Rouen, Saint-Brieuc, Toulouse and Tours.

Louis-Philippe DALEMBERT

Louis Philippe Dalembert is a writer, born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He is a graduate of the École Normale Supérieure in Port-au-Prince, a graduate of the Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme in Paris and author of a doctoral thesis in comparative literature at the University of Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Former resident of the Villa Medici in Rome, polyglot, Louis Philippe Dalembert, who now resides between Paris and his native country, has also stayed in Jerusalem, Berlin, Bern, Milwaukee (United States) and in sub-Saharan Africa.
He writes short stories, poetry, essays and novels. Louis-Philippe Dalembert's work is strongly marked by the themes of childhood and vagrancy.
His penultimate novel, Avant que les ombres s'effacent (Prix Orange 2017, finalist for the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française and the Prix Médicis), is inspired by an unknown historical fact: the vote, in 1939 , of a decree-law of the Haitian State authorizing its consulates to issue passports and safe-conducts to Jews who request them. He thus recounts with humor the wanderings of Dr. Ruben Schwarzberg, from Berlin to Cuba, via Paris, until his arrival in Haiti.
Mur Méditerranée, his ninth novel in French, was a finalist for the 2019 Landerneau Prize. This novel, which appeared in the first Goncourt selection, won the 2019 French language prize. It was also selected for the Goncourt des lycéens, the Jean-Giono and André Malraux prizes. With this latest book, Louis Philippe Dalembert focuses on the migration crisis through three female figures: a Syrian, an Eritrean and a Nigerian.
