La Responsabilité Pénale des Personnes Morales en Droit Émirati

Gehad Abdelaziz |
|
|
Abstract:
Alors que le Code pénal émirati a reconnu la responsabilité pénale pour toutes les infractions, il a exclu de son champ d'application la responsabilité des personnes morales publiques. Pour remédier cette carence, il faut modifier l'article 65 pour consacrer la responsabilité pénale de toutes personnes morale publiques si l'activité de cette personne peut être déléguée. Le législateur doit mentionner dans cet article les termes ''l'employé délégué et dirigeant de fait" comme représentant de la personne morale. Par cette solution, ils sont qualifiés pour engager la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales. En plus, il doit définir la formule "pour leur compte" de façon explicite. Concernant les sanctions applicables aux personnes morales, qui sont actuellement insuffisantes, nous proposons au législateur émirati de prévoir des peines spéciales, contenant des nouvelles peines et mesures pénales adaptées à la nature de la personne morale et son activité telle que l'exclusion des marchés publics à titre définitif ou pour une durée provisoire. S'agissant de la peine d'amende, son taux doit être égal au quintuple de celui prévu pour les personnes physiques. Si cette amende n'est pas prévue par le texte qui réprime l'infraction, son taux, indiqué par le législateur, doit être proportionné à la gravité d'infraction.

Abstract:
Phénomène rituelique observé chez les Akyé de Côte-d’Ivoire, est un programme thérapeutique prescrit à un ou plusieurs individusservant à circonscrire les traumatismes à conséquences psycho somatiques. Le protocole se déroule durant toute une journée (en phase avec la cosmogonie sous l’onction toutefois des divinités tutélaires de la communauté en question) et de préférence un jour faste (jeudi, vendredi et dimanche). Celui-ci a eu lieu un dimanche.Ainsi, enacteur et témoin oculaire avions-nous pris part en effet avec quatorze autres personnes à ce programme dans la commune d’Adzopé précisément dans le quartier Massandji 1, le16 décembre 2012. De par cette immersion il a été plus que passionnant de reconstruit selon une approche phénoménologique toute la quintessence de ce rite. Disons aussi que des iconographies ont permis de ressortir la logique interne du phénomène afin d’apprécier son influence thérapeutique au niveau du corps et du mentale.En substance, c’est un repas collectif dont on enduit le corps (de tous les participants) avec les restes.Fait d’un cocktail de toute sorte d’aliment, ce repas est en réalité conçu dans une grande marmite et mis à feu. C’est donc pendant la cuisson que tous les quinze patients devraient à tour de rôle s’approcher du feu et se pencher sur le récipient afin de recevoir la chaude vapeur sur tout le corps minutieusement (tête, tronc et membres). Apres cette forme de fumigation, ces derniers ingurgitent un breuvage (à base de la pharmacopée) avec la paume de la main (droite et gauche) - doigts repliés vers le tronc formant un creux comme un gobelet avant même de partager en groupe le repas totémique selon les termes de Levi Stauss.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate Thai university students’ language awareness of metalinguistic knowledge of English, which focuses on learners’ ability to detect and give explanation for errors in English. A verbal protocol of learner introspection was used with 15 participants studying in the Business English Major in a Thai university. The specific investigation was on errors with verbs which encompass those of tense, aspect, and verb complementation. It was found that most participants identified mistakes inaccurately and in particular they seemed to have serious difficulties with verb complementation. Also, it was found that the participants referred to grammar rules they learned in high school rather than to what they have been exposed to in their university courses to explain grammatical structure. Insights gained from the verbal protocols are useful to help students to understand the thought processes involved in metalinguistic reflection, promote language awareness and address students’ conceptual confusion with English rules.
