Discussions about violence in Brazil mobilize debates around a possible reduction of the penal age of young perpetrators of illegal acts, in a context crossed by political and strategic conflicts and the production of life government modes. This research aims to question the regimes of truth that support the proposition of reducing the penal age in the country. From the field of social psychology, we adopted the archeogenealogical analysis proposed by Michel Foucault and some of his theoretical and conceptual tools to problematize 37 proposals for a Constitutional Amendment presented by the Chamber of Deputies in Brazil between 1993 and 2013 in order to reduce the penal age. We organize the analysis of materials based on the construction of three analyzers: the first discusses how information technologies and mass media are now linked to the mental development of young people; the second discusses the punitive rationality that permeates the production of Constitutional Amendment; and the third examines how the documents deal with the Statute of Children and Adolescents. In the analyzer, we highlight how access to information is associated to an 'early' maturity of the young and the discernment of their actions. In the second analyzer, we address the controversies surrounding the reduction of the penal age: sometimes identified as necessary measure to decrease the levels of violence; sometimes considered as a strategy to combat impunity. The third analyzer indicates a series of disqualifications of the Statute of Child and Adolescent, that are organized in three axes of discussion: the subjective-psychological criteria; civil rights versus social rights; and ineffectiveness of practices guided by the Statute of Child and Adolescent. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / As discussões sobre violência no Brasil mobilizam debates em torno de uma possível redução da idade penal de jovens autores de atos infracionais, em um contexto atravessado por embates políticos e estratégicos e pela produção de modos de governo da vida. Esta pesquisa objetiva problematizar os regimes de veridição que dão sustentação à proposição da redução da idade penal no país. Situados no campo da Psicologia Social, adotamos a análise arqueogenealógica proposta por Michel Foucault e alguns de seus operadores teórico-conceituais como ferramentas para a problematização de 37 Propostas de Emenda à Constituição (PECs) apresentadas pela Câmara de Deputados brasileira, entre os anos de 1993 e 2013, com vistas à redução da idade penal. Organizamos a análise dos materiais com base na construção de três analisadores: o primeiro discute como as tecnologias de informação e meios de comunicação de massa passam a ser atrelados ao desenvolvimento psíquico dos sujeitos jovens; o segundo discute a racionalidade punitiva que perpassa a produção das PECs; e o terceiro analisa o modo como os documentos colocam em questão o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. No primeiro analisador da pesquisa, destacamos como se passa a associar o acesso à informação a uma maturidade 'precoce' dos jovens e ao discernimento sobre seus atos. No segundo analisador, abordamos as controvérsias em torno da redução da idade penal: ora, apontada como medida necessária para diminuição dos índices de violência; ora como uma estratégia de combate à impunidade. O terceiro analisador aponta uma série de desqualificações do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, subdivididas em três eixos de discussão: o critério subjetivo-psicológico; direitos civis versus direitos sociais; e ineficácia das práticas pautadas pelo ECA.

La responsabilité pénale du dirigeant de société commerciale, même si elle n’est pas nouvelle en droit français, est d’actualité en droit algérien. Dans les deux droits, la gestion de la société commerciale n’est pas chose aisée, car il existe des risques pénaux pouvant déboucher sur la condamnation de son dirigeant. Ces risques constituent la préoccupation majeure du dirigeant qui peut facilement voir sa responsabilité pénale engagée. Cependant, cette responsabilité, réputée sévère et lourde, peut être adoucie, voire éteinte. Eneffet, dès lors qu’un dirigeant de société commerciale se trouve poursuivi pour violation des lois et des règlements, il cherche à justifier son acte de gestion par les moyens dont il dispose, afin de se protéger contre l’éventuelle mise en œuvre de sa responsabilité pénale. Ces moyens peuvent être classiques de portée générale, ou bien spécifiques au droit des sociétés commerciales tel que la délégation de pouvoirs. De plus, la dépénalisation du droit des sociétés commerciales permet elle aussi de limiter les poursuites pénales contre le dirigeant et encourage le développement de l’initiative économique. Les acteurs de la vie économique auront donc plus envie de se lancer dans leur projet d’entreprendre. / Criminal responsibility of the manager of a commercial company, and while it is not new in French law, it is topical in Algerian law. In both laws, management of the corporation is not easy, because there are criminal risks that could lead to the conviction of its leader. These risks are the major concern of the leader who can easily see criminal liability. However, this responsibility deemed severe and heavy, can be softened or off. Indeed, when a manager of commercial company is sued for violation of laws and regulations, it seeks to justify his act of management by the means available to protect against the possible implementation criminal responsibility. These means can be conventional, general or very specific to commercial companies such as delegation of authority. In addition, the decriminalization of the commercial companies’ law allows also to limit the criminal proceedings against the leader and encourages the development of economic initiative. The actors of the economy will therefore have no desire to engage in their project to undertake.

Un kleptomane, pris d’impulsions irrésistibles, peut-il être responsable pénalement de ses actes ? Voilà la question à l’origine de cette recherche. Les troubles du contrôle des impulsions sont des troubles mentaux caractérisés par l’impossibilité de résister à une impulsion. Comment peut-on concilier ceux-ci avec le droit pénal canadien sachant que la responsabilité criminelle repose sur le postulat voulant que seul un acte volontaire justifie une déclaration de culpabilité ? Afin d’avoir une étude exhaustive sur le sujet, nous avons choisi trois troubles du contrôle des impulsions, soit la kleptomanie, la pyromanie et le jeu pathologique. Cette sélection permet d’étudier à la fois l’imputabilité criminelle et l’imposition d’une sentence en droit pénal canadien. Cette étude propose un retour aux principes fondamentaux de la responsabilité criminelle et l’analyse du droit pénal canadien afin de démontrer que certains troubles du contrôle des impulsions (kleptomanie et pyromanie) entraînent chez le sujet atteint une incapacité criminelle, le rendant non criminellement responsable au sens de l’article 16 du Code criminel. Au surplus, cette recherche porte sur les principes entourant l’imposition d’une sentence en droit pénal canadien et étudie l’impact de ces maladies mentales au point de vue de la peine. Cette analyse démontre que les caractéristiques diagnostiques des troubles du contrôle des impulsions sont utilisées afin d’alourdir la peine imposée aux contrevenants. Nous considérons que celles-ci ne devraient pas être employées comme facteurs aggravants (particulièrement en matière de jeu pathologique), mais devraient plutôt être utilisées afin d’imposer une peine plus appropriée pour remédier à la problématique entraînant la commission des délits. / A kleptomaniac, taken by overpowering impulses, can he be criminally responsible for his actions? That is the question behind this research. The impulse control disorders are mental disorders characterized by the inability to resist an impulse. How can we reconcile this with the Canadian criminal law, knowing that criminal liability based on the assumption that only a voluntary act warrants a conviction? To gain a comprehensive study on the subject, we chose three impulse control disorders, kleptomania, pyromania and pathological gambling. This selection allows us to study both the criminal accountability and the imposition of a sentence in Canadian criminal law. This study proposes a return to fundamental principles of criminal responsibility and the analysis of Canadian criminal law to demonstrate that some impulse control disorders (kleptomania and pyromania) result in the subject reaching a criminal incapacity, making it not criminally responsible within the meaning of article 16 of the Criminal Code. Furthermore, this research focuses on the principles surrounding the imposition of a sentence in Canadian criminal law and explores the impact of mental illness in terms of the sentence. This analysis shows that the diagnostic features of impulse control disorders are used to increase the punishment imposed on offenders. We consider that these characteristic should not be used as aggravating factors (especially in pathological gambling), but should be used to impose a sentence more appropriate to remedy to the problem causing the commission of crimes.

A relação entre a Psiquiatria Forense e o Direito Penal é muita antiga, porém sempre foi pouco estudada em termos científicos. Através de um estudo observacional retrospectivo, consistindo em uma série de casos, a autora comparou 24 laudos psiquiátricos conclusivos de capacidade parcial de imputação com as 24 sentenças judiciais correspondentes. A concordância entre laudos e sentenças foi calculada por meio da proporção de sentenças em que o juiz concordou com o parecer do perito, e de seu respectivo intervalo de confiança, com nível de confiança de 95%, que resultou em 91,7% (IC 95% =73 a 99%) de concordância. A autora calculou também a concordância (20 laudos e as correspondentes sentenças) entre as medidas de segurança propostas pelos peritos e as medidas de segurança determinadas pelo juiz, utilizando-se do coeficiente kappa, que resultou em kappa=0,03, p=0,43 de concordância. A autora concluiu que, neste estudo, a concordância entre laudos e a sentenças no que tange à capacidade parcial de imputação foi alta, enquanto a concordância entre laudos e sentenças no que concerne à medida de segurança foi baixa. / The relationship between Forensic Psychiatry and Criminal Law is very old, but it has always been scarcely studied in scientific terms. Through a retrospective decriptive study, consisting of case series, the author compared 24 conclusive psychiatric reports of partial capacity of imputation and 24 corresponding judicial sentences. The concordance between reports and sentences was calculated by means of proportion of sentences concordant with the reports, and the respective confidence interval, with level of confidence of 95%, resulting in 91,7% of concordance (IC 95% = 73 a 99%). The author also calculated the concordance (20 reports and corresponding sentences) between the security measures proposed by the psychiatrist and the security measures determined by the judge by means of kappa coefficient, resulting in kappa = 0,03 and p = 0,43 of concordance. The author concluded that, in this study, the concordance between reports and sentences was high concerning the partial capacity of imputation, while the concordance between reports and sentences concerning the security measures was low.

Les enfants constituent un groupe vulnérable de la société et à ce titre ils nécessitent une protection spécifique, en particulier en temps de conflits armés où leurs droits peuvent être violés, qu'ils appartiennent à la population civile ou qu’ils soient impliqués militairement dans des conflits. Cette protection relève d’une problématique récente et qui demeure plus que jamais actuelle. Elle pose la question de savoir quel est le but de la spécificité annoncée dans la mesure où existe déjà une protection générale des civils. Faut-il entendre alors que cette dernière est insuffisante à protéger les enfants dans les situations de guerre ? Également, la protection tant générale que spécifique appliquée aux enfants, varie-t-elle selon que le conflit armé est de type international ou non-international ? L’ensemble de ces questions fera l’objet de la première partie de la thèse, intitulée : « La protection des enfants civils en temps de conflits armés ». La seconde partie de la thèse portant sur « La protection des enfants soldats en temps de conflits armés » se penche sur les conséquences juridiques de la participation des enfants à des hostilités. Et, dans ce cadre, savoir si ces enfants capturés par l’ennemi obtiendront le statut de prisonnier de guerre et s’ils seront poursuivis pénalement en cas de commission de crimes de guerre. L’autre question soulevée dans cette partie est celle de la responsabilité de l’État, du groupe, de l’individu, qui recrute des enfants aux fins de les utiliser dans des conflits armés, en dépit de leur engagement à ne pas le faire. Le cas de la Libye apparaît ici le plus indiqué ; en effet, le pays a traité de ces questions dans sa législation qui présente cependant des failles que nous mettons en exergue, d’autant que dans cet État a éclaté en février 2011 une guerre où sont recrutés et utilisés des enfants. / The protection of children during armed conflict - Comparative study between international law and Libyan lawChildren are a vulnerable group in society and as such they require special protection, especially in times of armed conflict where their rights may be violated, whether they belong to the civilian population or they are militarily involved in armed conflict. This protection is a recent problem and remains more than ever current. It raises the question of what is the purpose of the specificity announced to the extent that there is already a general protection of civilians. Must we then understand that the latter is insufficient to protect children in war situations? Also, does the general as well as the specific protection applied to children vary according to whether the armed conflict is international or non-international? All of these questions will be the subject of the first part of the thesis entitled: « The protection of civilian children in times of armed conflict ».The second part of the thesis on « The protection of child soldiers in times of armed conflict » examines the legal consequences of the participation of children in hostilities. And in this context, whether these children captured by the enemy will get the status of prisoner of war and whether they will be criminally prosecuted in case of commission of war crimes. The other issue raised in this section is the responsibility of the State, the group, the individual, who recruits children for use in armed conflict, despite their commitment not to do so. . The case of Libya appears here the most indicated; indeed, the country has dealt with these issues in its legislation which however presents flaws that we highlight, especially since in that state broke out in February 2011 a war where are recruited and used children.

La présente thèse a pour objet l’étude de la relation entre la preuve et la responsabilité pénale des supérieurs hiérarchiques devant les juridictions pénales internationales. Ces juridictions sont chargées de juger les responsables des crimes de masse. La question est donc de savoir comment elles procèdent, sur quelles preuves elles se basent et quel mode de participation est le plus adapté pour juger ces responsables. / This thesis deals with the study of the relationship between evidence and criminal responsibility of high ranking officers before international criminal courts. These courts judge the persons responsible for having committed mass crimes. The question is how they proceed, on which evidence they rely and which mode of participation is the most adequate to do so.

L’établissement distinct est devenu un concept incontournable dans la vie des entreprises et une notion récurrente dans les textes légaux et la jurisprudence. Dans l’hypothèse la plus simple, l’entreprise n’est dotée que d’une seule unité de travail, constituée d’activités et de personnels réunis en un même lieu. L’entreprise et l’établissement unique se confondent alors. Mais dès lors qu’elle développe un effectif important et que sa structure complexe impose la mise en place d’une organisation adaptée, elle se démembre et se divise en établissements. L’établissement distinct devient alors un centre d’activité de l’entreprise géographiquement ou matériellement isolé. Le droit du travail tente de saisir l’établissement distinct dans de multiples dimensions et n’adopte pas la même approche selon l’utilité que sa reconnaissance peut apporter dans l’entreprise. L’objet de cette recherche est de saisir la multiplicité des réalités que recouvre l’établissement distinct et d’éclaircir la manière dont le législateur et les tribunaux tendent à l’optimiser en fonction du rôle qui lui est assigné. Concomitamment, il est question de vérifier l’opportunité d’opérer un recentrage des rapports du droit du travail au niveau de l’établissement plutôt qu’au niveau de l’entreprise et les conséquences qui en résultent. / The separate establishment has become an unavoidable concept in the life of the companies and a recurring notion in the legal texts and the jurisprudence. In the simplest case, the company has only one work unit, consisting of activities and personnel in one place. The enterprise and the single establishment are then merged. But since it develops a large workforce and its complex structure requires the establishment of a suitable organization, it is dismembered and divided into establishments. The separate establishment then becomes a center of activity of the company geographically or materially isolated. Labor law attempts to seize the distinct establishment in multiple dimensions and does not adopt the same approach depending on the utility that its recognition can bring to the company. The purpose of this research is to grasp the multiplicity of realities encompassed by the distinct institution and to clarify how the legislature and the courts tend to optimize it according to the role assigned to it. Concomitantly, it is a question of verifying the desirability of refocusing the relations of labor law at the level of the establishment rather than at the level of the enterprise and the resulting consequences.
