Emmanuel Tawil is a French lawyer and academic, associate professor at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas.[1] As a lawyer, he defended the families of the victims during the trial of the Gdeim Izik protest camp.

Training

He holds two doctorates, one in canon law in Strasbourg in 2003, one in public law in Aix-Marseille in 2006 and a degree in theology in Friborg in 2010. He did his post-doctorate at the EPHE (École Pratique des Hautes Études – School for Advanced Studies).[2]

He is a lecturer in Paris II and qualified as a professor in February 2018. He teaches at the Catholic Institute of Lyon and the Catholic Institute of Paris where he directed the degree in law and political science.[3] He has been a corresponding member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences since 2014 and a member of the Council for Canonical Questions of the Conference of Bishops of France since 2012.[4]

He has participated in numerous symposiums especially in Rome and UC Berkeley.[5]

Professional activities

Lawyer

His legal activities led him to defend the families of the victims of the events of November 8, 2010 in Laayoune.[6] On that occasion he asserted that Gdim Izik's trial "is not a political trial"[7] and that he was perfectly in accordance with the rules of fair trial.[8] He also criticizes the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for acting as a means of putting pressure on Morocco.[9][10][11] He opposes the prohibition of the veil at university[12] and wishes the Alsace-Moselle regime cult to be preserved[13]

Academic

As an academic, he specializes in public law – in particular religious law and international relations – and has published several books on it. He is also interested in secularism, whose instrumentalization he deplores,[14] and in the relations between The Holy See and other States.[15] He makes the "positive secularism" mentioned by Benedict XVI one of the major contributions of his magisterium[16]

He explains that the churches' right of asylum was restricted by Charlemagne before being abolished in 1539 by Francis I. If previously churches enjoyed genuine immunity from public powers, now the reference to "right of asylum" has disappeared from the code of Canon law, so it would be necessary to speak of reception in churches and not of asylum[17]

In 2014, he was appointed member of the Consultative Commission of Religions by the Minister of Social Affairs and Health. He is appointed alongside Yves Gaudemet [fr] or Sébastien Fath, among the "personalities chosen for their competence and known for their work, their activities, their knowledge of the social protection problems of ministers of religions and members of religious congregations and religious communities of various faiths and of questions relating to the legal status of religions and problems of religious sociology". Regarding paedophilia cases, Emmanuel Tawil considers that the sexual abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston marked a turning point and that today the Church cooperates with the civil authorities and is not in a logic of secrecy or Omertà.
