České vězeňství a jeho schopnost naplňovat veřejný zájem / Czech prison system and its ability to meet the public interest

Ježková, Kateřina January 2014 (has links)
Diploma thesis "The Czech prison system and its ability to meet the public interest" deals with the public interest in the selected area from the perspective of key stakeholders, election programmes, policy statements of governments and (changes in) legislation between 2000-2013. For determination of what is the public interest has been used as a tool a scheme of four dimensions of definition of public interest. First, there is the public interest as defined by experts, which is determined on the basis of content analysis of the journal the České vězeňství published by Prison Service of the Czech Republic. Second, the public interest determined by the preferences of citizens, which are collected from content analysis of articles from Newton Media Search and from reproduced findings of public opinion polls. To analyze the third dimension of public interests, which are generated by functional needs of the community, content analysis of election programmes of the parliamentary parties of the period is used as well as policy statements of the government and also the study of changes in legislation. Fourth, the public interests based on individual interests, are investigated through a case study in one of the Czech prisons, which took place in April - May 2013. The analysis showed common attributes of...

Škodí Jizerkám kolo-běžky? Spor dobra s dobrem - ochrana přírody vs. rekreační využití CHKO Jizerské hory na příkladu cyklistiky a běžeckého lyžování / Are Sports like Cycling and Cross Country Skiing Detrimental to the Jizera Mountains? Controversy of the Good versus the Good: The Protection of Nature versus the Recreation Use of the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area Illustrated by the Example of Cycling and Cross Country Skiing

Tišerová, Gabriela January 2016 (has links)
The dissertation inquires to the contention of the good with the good - sports and recreational activities in the protected area. I have set three ambits of research questins: Who? What? How to deal? to get the solution of the reasearch task 'The Analysis of the Conflict of Interests between the Protection of Nature and Sports and Recreational activities (cycling and cross country skiing). I am trying to find main representatives in the concrete area and describe the conflicts among them. Next I have presented the problems of doing sport in the protected area. Firstly I am focused on the way of the negotiation about the use of the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area and secondly I am trying to find the existence of the common future goals in the area development. With the help of the actor analysis I have tried to answer the research questions. I have used the analysis as a pattern how to look at the problems and how to deal with the facts acquired with the help of semistructured interview. As a result I have found that the main problem in the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area is mainly the intensity of described activities. The ascertainment of the density of high- quality relationships confirms strong social resources. Within the participation a lot of relationships allowing the...

Addressing Corruption in International Arbitration : The approach of Arbitrators When They Confronted with Cases Involving Allegation or Suspicion of Corruption: Eyes shut or Pro-Active

Mirzazadeh, Iman January 2020 (has links)
This master thesis tries to bold and underline the connection and intersection between arbitration and corruption. The main duty of arbitrators is the settlement of disputes, and their scope of power is determined by the parties. However, it is recognized through the jurisprudence of international arbitration that not only are arbitrators responsible for making decisions and enforceable awards about the disputes of parties, but also they are in charge of the promotion of justice, moralities, and public interest. If arbitrators violate the international rule of law including equality, good faith, and moralities, the arbitration will not seem legitimate. It has been recognized that solidarity and collaboration are needed for elimination of corruption, choosing the passive role in the arbitral proceeding against corruption helps it to remain concealed and also alive. Arbitrators should not be indifferent and apathetic about the matter of corruption in the arbitral cases. The arbitration proceedings can be treated as a legitimizing instrument for the parties engaged in corruption due to the principle of confidentiality. Therefore, being inactive against suspicious circumstances of illegality or allegation of corruption may endanger arbitrators to criminal charges, which are based on national applicable laws, such as facilitation of illicit enrichment of parties or assisting fraud. It has been proved through the transnational public policy and campaign against corruption that it affects public interests, and the main cost would be paid by taxpayers and citizens. All social, political and economic rights of citizens are being eroded and undermined by the evil of corruption. Anti-corruption norms are fundamental parts of sustainable development goals. The arbitrators are an indispensable part of administration of justice against corruption in private dispute settlement. They have a public responsibility for eradication of corruption as a supporter of justice and moralities in the society. The importance of corruption and public policy lead the tribunal to the guideline that arbitral tribunals should not delay in raising the matter of corruption where the parties have not raised any allegation of corruption, and they can exercise sua sponte investigation about the corruption, they have to be pro-active in the arbitral proceedings against corruption instead of taking an eyes shut and apathetic approach. / این پایان نامه کارشناسی ارشد، تلاش دارد تا ارتباط میان داوری و فساد را برجسته ساخته و مورد توجه قرار دهد. وظیفه اصلی داوران در حل و فصل اختلافات و حدود اختیارات ایشان منبعث از توافق طرفین اختلاف است، با این حال، رویه داوری های بین المللی، مشخص ساخته است که داوران نه تنها جهت صدور آرای قابل اجرا، مسئولیت دارند، بلکه  در مقام تحقق و ارتقای عدالت، اخلاق و تامین منافع عمومی نیز مسئولیت دارند. اگر داوران اصل مترقی حاکمیت قانون  و اصولی همچون برابری، حسن نیت و یا اخلاقیات را نقض کنند، داوری در چنین وضعیتی مشروعیتی نخواهد داشت. امروزه، همبستگی و همکاری به عنوان عواملی حیاتی برای محو فساد مورد شناسایی قرار گرفته است و انتخاب رویکرد بی طرفی و انفعال در روند داوری و در مواجهه با فساد، به پنهان شدن و ادامه حیات این پدیده شوم کمک می کند. داوران نمی بایست در خصوص فساد در پرونده های ارجاعی، بی طرف و منفعل باشند. رسیدگی های داوری می تواند به عنوان وسیله ای جهت مشروعیت بخشی و ابزاری برای قانونی جلوه دادن فساد تحت اصل محرمانگی توسط طرفین مورد سوء استفاده قرار گیرد. بنابراین، غیرفعال بودن داوران در برابر شرایط و وضعیتهای مشکوک به فساد و یا انفعال آنها در برابر ادعاهای فساد از سوی طرفین،  ممکن است داوران را در مظان اتهامات و تضامین کیفری قرار دهد که بر اساس قانون حاکم، مشخص خواهد شد. این اتهامات می تواند در برگیرنده جرائمی همچون تسهیل و معاونت در داران شدن غیر عادلانه یا معاونت در کلاهبرداری نیز بشود. بواسطه نظم عمومی بین المللی، کمپین و اتحادی گسترده علیه فساد شکل گرفته است، مبنی بر اینکه فساد، منافع عموم را متاثر می سازد و هزینه اصلی آن نیز بواسطه پرداخت مالیات بر عموم مردم و شهروندان تحمیل می شود. همه حقوق بنیادین شهروندان از قبیل حقوق اجتماعی، سیاسی و اقتصادی آنها بواسطه فساد مخدوش و تنزل می یابند. استانداردهای مبارزه با فساد، بخشی عمده و بنیادین از اهداف توسعه پایدار محسوب می شوند. فی الواقع داوران جزیی جدایی ناپذیر از نظام قضائی و دادگستری علیه فساد در چارچوب حل و فصل اختلافات مردم به شکل خصوصی، محسوب می شوند. داوران عموما برای محو فساد به عنوان خدمتگذاران و سربازان عدالت و اصول اخلاقی در جامعه، مسئولیت بر عهده دارند.  اهمیت فساد و نظم عمومی باعث می شود تا دیوانهای داوری این اصل و مسیر را دنبال کنند که دیوانهای داوری نمی بایست در طرح و پیگیری موضوع فساد حتی در آنجاییکه هیچیک از طرفین اختلاف آنرا مطرح نساخته است، تاخیر کنند و داوران می توانند بدون نیاز به درخواست طرفین و بر اساس تشخیص خود، تحقیات خود را در خصوص فساد اجرایی نمایند.، داوران می بایست در جریان و روند رسیدگی در برابر فساد، فعال باشند و بجای اتخاذ رویکرد چشمان بسته و انفعال در برابر پدیده شوم فساد، نقشی فعال در روند داوری را بر علیه فساد اتخاذ نمایند.

The position of the whistle-blower in South African law

Isparta, Louise Dorothy 10 1900 (has links)
The position of the whistle-blower is known to be a precarious one, with the whistle-blower often either regarded as a hero or a reprehensible traitor. Various pieces of legislation have attempted to remedy their precarious position, especially within the employment relationship, and in which the whistle-blower more often than not has the most to lose. The study at hand has the specific objective of comparing the position of the whistle-blower in terms of South African Law, against 16 specific measurables, and in comparison with the position of the whistle-blower in New Zealand, Australia (Victoria) and the United Kingdom. In the main, the protection offered to the whistle-blower within the South African context, is embodied within the Protected Disclosure Act 26 of 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the “PDA”).In examining the protection afforded to the whistle-blower in South Africa, it is concluded that the framework involved extends much further than just the mere provisions in the PDA. However, there are admitted challenges in respect of this framework as discussed, both legislative and non-legislative, especially in respect of duties of disclosures placed on persons in circumstances in which concurrent protection is not afforded to the whistle-blower. With reference to the comparison in respect of the measurement parameters set, it was found that the PIDA (UK) meets the least amount of the measurements set, with the PDA A (Australia, Victoria) meeting the most of the measurements; the PDA NZ is equally balanced in meeting and not meeting the measurements and the PDA meeting less of the measurements than not, but still meeting more than the PIDA. It was found that had it not been for the catch-all provision contained in section 4 (1) (b) of the PDA, the PDA would have ranked last. / Mercantile Law / LLD

Environmental rights afforded to residents affected by mining activities: a case study in Hondeklip Bay

Mohomed, Farzana 30 November 2006 (has links)
Whilst the mining industry has stimulated the economic growth of South Africa, its activities have also impacted on the social and environmental well-being of the communities and ecosystems in which it operates. Environmental degradation often severely affects the livelihoods of people in rural areas, who are often impoverished. Hondeklip Bay, a small fishing community in the Northern Cape, has been affected by the mining activities of the adjacent Hondeklip Bay Mine. The purpose of this paper is to identify whether impoverished residents affected by the detrimental effects of mining activity have rights to enforce the protection of their environment. These environmental rights pertain to an environment that is safe and not harmful to one's health and well-being. Environmental obligations of the mines as illustrated in terms of applicable legislation, and legal recourse available to the residents affected by the infringement of their environmental rights are furthermore explored. / Jurisprudence / LL.M

合理使用的理論與應用之研究-從市場失靈的觀點出發 / A Research on the Theoretical Basis and Application of Fair Use- A Market Failure Perspective

闕光威, Chueh, Kuang Wei Unknown Date (has links)
本研究以Wendy Gordon教授三要件市場失靈理論為核心-即(一) 市場失靈的狀況現實存在,(二)支持被告的使用模式對社會而言利多於弊,以及(三)允許合理使用抗辯不會對於創作者的創作誘因產生實質損害-試圖以美國實務判決為藍本勾勒出可能的觀察構面與命題,並以此為基準以音樂產業為例推演可能的管理意涵,最後從制度面的角度檢討現行合理使用判決所出現的問題與可能的解決方式,研究結果及建議分述如下: 觀察構面與命題的發展 本研究以美國近二十年來重要合理使用判決為藍本,並將市場失靈區分為交易成本過高與正向外部性兩種類型,歸納出以下命題及觀察構面: 命題一:與著作權利人進行交易的交易成本越高,主張合理使用成功的機會越高。 H1:系爭著作物在使用當時若屬於無法尋得權利人的孤兒著作,成功主張合理使用的機會較高。 H2:系爭著作物若有著作權仲介團體代理或有交易成本低廉的授權平台,成功主張合理使用的機會較低。 H3:系爭著作物若有著作權管理資訊,成功主張合理使用的機會較低。 命題二: 被告利用型態對社會創造的正向外部性越高,成功主張合理使用的機會越高。 H4:系爭著作的利用方式若屬於對原著作物的諷刺或批評,成功主張合理使用的機會較高。 H5: 使用者使用的模式若能減少資訊流通障礙而非單純販售著作重製物圖利,成功主張合理使用機會較高。 市場失靈對著作權人的管理意涵 就正向外部性導致的市場失靈而言,當被告的利用模式產生的正向外部性越大,著作權授權交易無法完成對整體社會造成的效率損失越大,依據市場失靈理論的討論架構,法院支持被告合理使用主張的機會也越大。此時,權利人最佳的管理策略應該是更積極進行授權,並避免過度利用優勢談判地位抬高交易條件,最後導致授權交易無法進行。面對交易成本過高可能導致市場失靈,對權利人來說最佳的管理策略應該是使用各種可能的機制創造最有效率的授權市場,當市場的運行越具效率,交易成本越低,市場失靈的風險越低,法院支持利用人合理使用抗辯的機會也越低。管見以為,授權著作權仲介團體進行授權交易、自建授權平台、創新商業模式或與主流流通平台建立策略聯盟,是對權利人來說降低交易成本最佳的管理策略之一。 此外,從音樂與出版產業的發展歷程可以發現技術、法律與管理是彼此互為影響的構面,對於企業經營者來說,應有任何一項變動即牽一髮而動全身的敏銳,假定任何一項要素恆久不變或外生於其他兩構面的變化,均可能成為策略錯誤的原因。以上發現可歸納為三個命題: 命題三:著作利用產生的正向外部性越大,權利人越應該積極進行授權,避免過度利用優勢談判地位抬高交易條件,導致授權交易無法進行。 命題四: 權利人應積極建立便於使用的授權機制,降低交易成本及合理使用的風險。 命題五:技術、法律與管理模式三構面互相影響,任何一項要素變動,都可能驅動其他兩項要素的變化。 現行合理使用判決的問題與制度面的修正芻議 若市場失靈理論及本研究提出的命題與觀察構面被接受,本研究建議現行著作權法第六十五條第二項規定可修正如下: 著作之利用是否合於第四十四條至第六十三條規定或其他合理使用之情形,應審酌一切情狀,尤應注意下列事項,以為判斷之基準: 「一 利用之目的及性質,包括係為商業目的或非營利教育目的。 二 著作之性質。 三 所利用之質量及其在整個著作所占之比例。 四 利用結果對著作潛在市場與現在價值之影響。 五 利用結果產生的公共利益。 六 覓得著作權人以及取得授權的難易與成本。」 現行法下,法院在合理使用與判斷被告需賠償權利人全額損害兩者間沒有其他選擇,若法院考量正向外部性的存在後,認為被告的利用方式對整體社會有極大利益,並將正向外部性所帶來的好處納入最適授權金的計算,其數額或許將遠低於客觀上填補權利人所失利益與所受損害的價額,判定被告需賠償全額損害有悖於分配效率的要求。反面言之,若被告的利用嚴重損及該著作物最主要的經濟收益,判定合理使用對權利人又將衝擊過大。此時,法院將被迫在合理使用與全額損害賠償間進行二擇一的選擇。為給予法院更多救濟市場失靈的彈性,本研究建議在制度上應盡可能補足全額損害賠償與合理使用光譜的空缺,在立法上似可考慮將現行著作權法第六十五條第三項、第四項規定移至第四項與第五項,並增訂第三項條文如下:著作之利用雖不符合第四十四條至第六十三條規定或其他合理使用情形,但法院審酌一切情狀,尤應注意前項所列事項,得酌減損害賠償金額,若行為人利用方式未達商業規模者,並得免除或酌減行為人違反本法所需負擔的刑事責任。 嚴重市場失靈發生時,因為著作權人的市場利益未受影響,應支持著作利用人合理使用的主張。本此,對於特定類型的嚴重市場失靈,著作權法可以明定為合理使用。本研究建議現行著作權法第五十一條修正如下:「著作於個人或家庭或其他類似範圍內之使用為目的者,若該使用不影響著作權人可合理預期的市場利益者,不構成對著作財產權的侵害。」 / Along with the enlargement of the scope and duration of copyright, it is generally believed that barriers to continual innovation and knowledge distribution also increase. How to leverage fair use to best preserve public interest thus becomes a very important issue. Nevertheless, fair use is called the most unpredictable and difficult problem in copyright law. Using the market failure theory proposed by Wendy Gordon to explain the scope of fair use, this research collects landmark U.S. fair use cases as the basis to develop propositions that help the judiciary to deal with fair use cases, makes management suggestions to copyright holders and proposes several legal reforms to the current Taiwanese fair use law . This study suggests that a defendant’s chance to prevail on his fair use defense increase as the transaction cost increases. For illustration, if the work in dispute is an orphan work, a defendant has a stronger fair use case because the transaction cost he has to incur to find the copyright owner and reach a deal is higher. Similarly, if the work in dispute carries with it clear copyright management information, is managed by efficient intermediaries or placed on an efficient transaction platform, a defendant has a weaker fair use case. The reseach also argues that the higher the positive externality brought by a defendant’s uses, the stronger fair use case he has. If a defendant uses the work in dispute to create a parody or to facilitate information exchange, the defendant has a stronger fair use case due to the positive externality he creates. As managerial suggestions to copyright owners, this study maintains that copyright owners should make their best efforts to reduce transaction costs in connection with licensing and copyright transfers and actively engage in licensing to uses creating significant positive externalities. This helps reduce the possibility that potential users rely on fair use and end up paying nothing to copyright owners. To reduce transaction cost, copyright owners may consider building a licensing platform themselves, using intermediaries or forming strategic alliances with primary sale channels. As for positive externalities, it is suggested that copyright owners pay attention to the public interests recognized in the copyright law. This study also finds that technology breakthroughs, legal reshuffles and innovations in business model and management are inter-related. It is simply a mistake to regard one of the three constructs as being static if another construct has been changing. This research also proposes the following amendments to the current fair use law in Taiwan. As a matter of practice, Taiwanese judges rarely consider factors outside the four listed factors in Article 65(2) of the Taiwanese Copyright Law, even though the statute gives them wide discretion to consider other factors. To encourage the Taiwanese judiciary to apply the market failure theory in fair use cases, it is suggested that “the cost at which a user must incur to obtain a license” be added as the fifth factor and that“the public interests a user creates” be added as the sixth factor in Section 65(2). Secondly, to give judges more flexibility in close cases, it is suggested that judges should be given discretion to reduce the damages a defendant has to compensate copyright holders and discretion to reduce or release him from his criminal duty, even if the criteria for fair use are not fully satisfied. Lastly, if serious market failure occurs, it will be Pareto superior to allow defendants to use the work in dispute free of charge. It is generally recognized that most types of personal uses fall within the scope of serious market failure. This study thus proposes that Article 51 of the Taiwanese Copyright Law be amended to the effect that personal or familial uses are allowed so long as the profits copyright holders can reasonably expect are not adversely affected.

從Michael Walzer的角度論美國著作權判決的合法性—以合理使用原則發展為中心 / Legitimacy of judgements in Micheal Walzer’s theory—A study of fair use priciples delopement in American copyright judgements

何宗恩 Unknown Date (has links)
Michael Walzer美國當代社群主義的代表人物,同時也是一位出名的公共知識分子,其哲學思想與政治理念均有其獨到之處,而其中Walzer特別強調社會才是作為個人權利與自由實踐的場所,而擺脫了傳統自由主義理論下,只存在國家與個人的關係。而其最著名的正義的諸領域(Spheres of Justice),更是在研究近代關於自由主義與社群主義正義論的一本經典,而Walzer正義論中最吸引我的地方在於其放棄像是John Rawls等正義理論的無知之幕,反而主張在討論正義的時候,應該以每個不同社會和社群之間的文化與歷史的發展為基礎,因此Walzer的正義理論強調各種不同的特殊性,而維護正義是國家所必須要出面來作的一件事情,但如何維護多元、自由的社會諸領域中的不同正義原則,Walzer提出一套「複雜平等概念」的哲學思考模式,以及從「公眾利益」為出發點的利益衡量原則。 因此結合Walzer的複雜平等概念與公眾利益的衡量原則,本文提出一套「權利實踐理論」,在這個理論架構之下將會注意到其實法律上所謂的權利僅是作為一種象徵法律權威的意義而已,真正個人想要落實權利實踐必須要集合足夠的政治權力才能夠獲得一個社會實踐的空間與可能性,而這往往與個人在詮釋法律的方式與態度有關,也就是說只有個人提供一個好的詮釋之理由,才能夠獲得足夠的政治權力的協助來個人權利的實踐。 但是法律中往往存在許多「不確定法律概念」,這是為了在特殊的情況時,來能夠實踐個別正義的設計,而法官所負擔的工作,就是透過詮釋,在個案中確立法律概念與原則,有時候會發覺法官並沒有再進行法律的詮釋工作,而也許只是單純的「依法判決」重新確認權利人行使權利之資格而以,但為何有時卻會有限縮或是擴張解釋法律的情況出現,而這背後的判斷標準和原則到底又是什麼,法官這樣做是否合法?是否由於法官是詮釋行為中的最高權威,就代表法官擁有自由的詮釋法律的空間? 但從Walzer的思考脈絡中,我們可以知道最高的權威者,還是有一定的責任與必須遵守地義務,但其同時也有一定程度的自由和自主決定的空間,依照Walzer的說法,國家也就是站在是最高權威者角色上,維護個人和社會自主性是其必須地義務,並且要防範任何形式的暴力破壞個人和社會的自主性,包含國家自身,而這時候衡量與判斷的標準往往就是所謂地「公共利益」或是「公眾利益」因此公眾利益是判斷國家行為合法性的依據。 而本文就嘗試以美國著作權法中,合理使用原則的公眾利益衡量標準,觀察法官是如何「公共利益」型塑某些原則的重要性,而且也同時還能保留有一定的開放性空間,以處理個案中截然不同地主張與原則的空間。

L’hypothèque légale de la construction — Un outil de protection des créances des sous-traitants toujours efficace?

Hudon, Jonathan 08 1900 (has links)
L’hypothèque légale de la construction est le principal mécanisme de protection des créances des intervenants de l’industrie de la construction. Par l’adoption de ce régime, le législateur a voulu protéger l’intégrité économique de cette industrie. Par contre, l’utilisation de notions mécaniques plus ou moins efficaces dans la mise en œuvre de l’hypothèque légale, la prolifération d’outils de contournement contractuels et les mécanismes de protection des propriétaires nuisent à l’efficacité du régime légal à protéger les créances des sous-traitants. Des correctifs pourraient néanmoins être apportés pour restaurer l’équité du régime légal. Par ailleurs, lorsqu’un immeuble appartient à l’État ou l’un de ses mandataires, il devient pratiquement impossible pour un sous-traitant d’exercer ses recours hypothécaires compte tenu des privilèges et immunités dont jouissent l’État et de ses mandataires. Les biens affectés à l’utilité publique des personnes morales de droit public non-mandataires de l’État jouissent également d’une grande protection, surtout dans le domaine municipal. Ceci rend bien illusoire tout recours hypothécaire intenté par un sous-traitant malgré le fait le législateur cherchait justement, par le maintien d’un régime légal, à protéger leurs créances. / The construction hypothec is the main mechanism for the protection of the claims of every participant in the construction industry. With the adoption of this legal regime, the Quebec legislator tried to protect the economic integrity of this industry. However, the use of notions more or less efficient for the execution of this legal regime, the increase of contractual mechanisms which avoid the application of the legal regime and legal dispositions which protect the owners harm the efficiency of the legal regime to correctly protect subcontractor's claims. Nevertheless, some correctives can be found to restore the legal regime's equity. Moreover, when a immoveable is owned by the State or any of its agents, it is practically impossible for a subcontractor to exercise his hypothecary rights because of the State's privileges and immunities. The property appropriated to public utility of the legal persons established in the public interest which are not agents of the State enjoy also a strong protection, particularly in the municipal sector. In any case, it is rendering illusory the exercise by a subcontractors of any of his hypothecary rights despite the fact that the legislator's goal, by maintaining this legal regime, was precisely to protect their claims.

The Application of a Pluralist Approach of Global Administrative Law on the Governance of Doping in Sport

Gok, Erdal 09 1900 (has links)
Plusieurs problèmes liés à l'utilisation de substances et méthodes interdites de dopage dans les sports posent de grands défis à la gouvernance antidopage. Afin de lutter contre le dopage, certains pays ont mis en oeuvre des cadres juridiques basés exclusivement sur le droit pénal tandis que d'autres pays ont plutôt misé sur des mécanismes et organismes spécialisés trouvant fondement en droit privé ou sur un régime hybride de droit public et privé. Ces différentes approches réglementaires ont pour conséquence de faire en sorte qu’il est très difficile de lutter efficacement contre le dopage dans les sports, notamment parce que leur exécution requiert un degré de collaboration internationale et une participation concertée des autorités publiques qui est difficile à mettre en place. À l’heure actuelle, on peut par exemple observer que les États n’arrivent pas à contrer efficacement la participation des syndicats et organisations transnationales liés au crime organisé dans le marché du dopage, ni à éliminer des substances et méthodes de dopage interdites par la réglementation. Par ailleurs, la gouvernance antidopage basée sur les règles prescrites par l’Agence mondiale antidopage prévoit des règles et des normes distinctes de dopage distinguant entre deux catégories de personnes, les athlètes et les autres, plaçant ainsi les premiers dans une position désavantageuse. Par exemple, le standard de responsabilité stricte sans faute ou négligence imposé aux athlètes exige moins que la preuve hors de tout doute raisonnable et permet l'utilisation de preuves circonstancielles pour établir la violation des règles antidopages. S'appliquant pour prouver le dopage, ce standard mine le principe de la présomption d'innocence et le principe suivant lequel une personne ne devrait pas se voir imposer une peine sans loi. D’ailleurs, le nouveau Code de 2015 de l’Agence attribuera aux organisations nationales antidopage (ONADs) des pouvoirs d'enquête et de collecte de renseignements et ajoutera de nouvelles catégories de dopage non-analytiques, réduisant encore plus les droits des athlètes. Dans cette thèse, nous discutons plus particulièrement du régime réglementaire de l’Agence et fondé sur le droit privé parce qu’il ne parvient pas à répondre aux besoins actuels de gouvernance mondiale antidopage. Nous préconisons donc l’adoption d’une nouvelle approche de gouvernance antidopage où la nature publique et pénale mondiale du dopage est clairement reconnue. Cette reconnaissance combiné avec un modèle de gouvernance adapté basé sur une approche pluraliste du droit administratif global produira une réglementation et une administration antidopage mieux acceptée chez les athlètes et plus efficace sur le plan des résultats. Le nouveau modèle de gouvernance que nous proposons nécessitera toutefois que tous les acteurs étatiques et non-étatiques ajustent leur cadre de gouvernance en tenant compte de cette nouvelle approche, et ce, afin de confronter les défis actuels et de régler de manière plus satisfaisante les problèmes liés à la gouvernance mondiale du dopage dans les sports. / Several issues which are related to the use of prohibited substances and doping methods in sport pose great challenges to the anti-doping governance. In order to fight against doping, some countries have implemented legal frameworks which are based exclusively on criminal law while other countries have relied on specialized mechanisms and bodies, either based exclusively on private law or on a hybrid regime of public and private law. These different regulatory approaches make the fight against doping in sport severely complicated as its success requires a degree of international cooperation as well as the concerted involvement of public authorities. However, such cooperation is often difficult to realize. At present, it can be observed, for example, that nation states are unable to effectively prevent transnational organized crime syndicates and organizations from involving in the doping market nor from restricting and eliminating prohibited doping substances and methods through their regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, the anti-doping governance framework which is based on the rules and standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) distinguishes athletes from nonathletes, placing the former in a disadvantageous position. For example, the standard of strict liability of no fault or negligence imposed on athletes requires less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt and allows the use of circumstantial evidence to establish an anti-doping rule violation. This standard of proof undermines the presumption of innocence principle and the principle of no penalty without a law. Moreover, the new World Anti-Doping Code of 2015 will empower the National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) with investigative and intelligence-gathering powers and will add new categories of non-analytical based doping categories, while reducing the rights of athletes even further. In this thesis, we discuss specifically the private law-based regulatory framework of WADA because it fails to meet the current needs of global anti-doping governance. We therefore advocate for the adoption of a new approach where the penal and public global nature of doping is clearly recognized. Such recognition, combined with a suitable governance model based on a pluralistic approach of global administrative law, will produce a better accepted and more effective anti-doping governance among athletes and will also be of benefit for non-athletes. However, the new governance model that we propose will require all state and non-state parties to adjust their governance frameworks to meet the current challenges and problems, related to the global governance of doping in sport.
