Les docteurs en droit, atouts pour l’entreprise


Selon un article publié sur le site village-justice.com, les entreprise cherche Docteurs ! Longtemps, les docteurs ont été boudés par les entreprises. On aurait pu craindre que, la crise aidant, le désamour entre les profils « académiques » et le monde des affaires s’amplifie. Il n’en est rien et l’idée bien ancrée selon laquelle la recherche universitaire évoluerait dans une sphère déconnectée de la réalité semble avoir fait long feu ! (pour en savoir plus)

Using Facebook in Cambodia: What you should know


Did you ever think about the possibility of getting in trouble for accusing authorities of corruption or fraud on Facebook? Fact is that your comments are more or less visible by everyone who wants to see them. LIFT looks into whether you could be held legally responsible for your comments and likes on Facebook. We sat down and discussed law and legal practice with H.E. Kheiu Kanharith, minister of information; Moeun Chhan Nariddh, from the Cambodia Institute for Media Studies; and Sok Sam Oeun, president of the Cambodian Defenders Project.


1. Is saying something on Facebook like saying it in public?
Facebook allows a single individual to have up to 5,000 friends. Does this make Facebook a public place?

To this question, H.E. Khieu Kanharith, minister of information, said: “We can consider Facebook semi-public and semi-non-public, depending on the users per se because of the fact that if we don’t allow others to know us by adding or accepting friends, then they can’t know what we post and we can’t know about them, in return.”
Sok Sam Oeun, president of the Cambodian Defenders Project and legal expert, said that “so far there hasn’t yet been any legal discussion [in Cambodia] which regards Facebook as public”. He continued that because the country doesn’t yet have laws covering the web, we can’t really determine whether Facebook is a public place.
Oeun also emphasised that, “even if one particular Facebook user spreads false information or curses, there is no law to punish this as if it were done publicly”.
2. Should the government regulate Facebook with a cyber law?
Kanharith conceded that there is a lot of false information on Facebook and that the site is like other news websites on which anything can be discussed.

A cyber law is going to take lots of effort and time, the minister said. A long discussion and much debate is needed before any such law could be written. For the time being, the urge to protect one’s own personal reputations is all the regulation there is, the minister said.
Moeun Chhean Nariddh, Cambodia Institute for Media Studies director, said that freedom of expression is a part of a free press and a democracy in general, so there should not be any constraints on the expression of opinion.
“I think laws invariably lead to punishment, so for this [social networking websites] I do not want to see punishments [that would limit] freedom of expression.” He suggested that people should self-regulate and not use social media to attack someone with libelous messages or disinformation.
3. Can I end up in prison for insulting the PM on Facebook?
In this regard, Oeun said that “when talking about legal charges, things must be clear. At this point, there are no particular laws on the book to punish Facebook users [for libeling or insulting someone on Facebook]”. He added that expressing ideas on Facebook is just like chatting at a coffee table.

Nariddh, however, said that if there was a “serious case” of libel, a judge could look at the facts of the case with regard to existing laws like the criminal code and the press law. However, he said, finding facts that show how libel on Facebook had an effect in reality could be difficult to do.
Nariddh said that users should not take Facebook and other social media for granted and use them to maliciously attack other people.
He said that if an insult is unintentional, then apologising and removing the post are enough.
4. How are people punished for libel or disinformation on Facebook in practice? 
Nariddh said that in Cambodia it is next to impossible to hold people legally responsible for things they post on Facebook as there are no specific laws against such behaviour.

The professor of journalism added, however, that someone who shares information or commented on posts becomes a so-called “citizen journalist”.
“It is hard to differentiate between a citizen journalist and a conventional journalist,” he said.
The minister of information and Oeun believe that people who act against social norms, such as by lying and making offensive posts, are subsequently disliked and isolated by others.
5. Regardless of legal consequences, how should I behave on Facebook?
Alluding to his earlier comments, Nariddh said “actually Facebook users can be regarded as citizen journalists, so they should respect the principles and ethics of journalism, meaning they mustn’t lie or provide false information”.

Oeun said that “everything, including Facebook, has pros and cons; users should avoid giving false information or cursing even though there isn’t any punishment for doing so. Except,” he pointed out, “for social punishment, such as being unfriended”.
Kanharith said that some Cambodian Facebook users are not sceptical enough of what they read.
He suggested that when seeing any information on Facebook, users be critical of what it says and find other sources to verify whether it is true. If Facebook is the only available source they should judge how accurate the news is based on their own knowledge.
In theory, Facebook can already be considered a public place. According to Nariddh, the means of sharing information on Facebook is mostly from one source to a mass of audience. A post by one person can be seen by hundreds or thousands of others.
This makes Facebook a means of mass communication. However, this fact is not enough to guide people and the justice system. As a result, a real law is needed.

Competition Law in Cambodia

The recent affaire about Cambodia's telecom related to competition showed again the need of a very Competition Law in Cambodia. In order to determine what is fair or unfair competition, a special legal framework is necessary. Moreover, a special indepedant Commission is also needed for controlling all formes of commercial operations.

Discussion : Bien réfléchir avant de publier vos travaux de recherche chez Editions Universitaires Européennes

J'ai reçu deux fois dans ma boîte e-mail la proposition d'Editions Universitaires Européennes (EUE). Le principe est qu'EUE propose de publier GRATUITEMENT des travaux de recherche (thèses, mémoires, articles) en les mettant sur divers sites tels que Amazon. Mais je crois qu'EUE ne publie pas vos travaux en version papier, c'est-à-dire qu'EUE ne met vos travaux que sur son site. Et si un mémoire, par exemple, est commandé, EUE imprime le nombre d'exemplaires commandés. Grosso modo, EUE n'a rien à perdre. C'est une forme pour faire du business. Quant à l'auteur, je pense qu'il ne gagne rien, si ce n'est de voir son travail publié gratuitement. Toutefois, pour pouvoir publier un mémoire gratuitement, il existe un certain nombre de sites. Pour vérifier si l'auteur pourrait toucher un petit montant, j'ai donc répondu au mail d'EUE en lui demandant ainsi. Mais, comme par hasard, pas de réponse !

En cherchant un peu sur le net, j'ai trouvé quelques débats concernant la "fiabilité" et la "valeur ajoutée" de cette édition. Les mises en garde se multiplient à cet effet. Voici quelques liens vous permettant de bien réfléchir avant de publier chez EUE.

Partagez vos expériences.

Ci-dessous, le contenu du mail que j'ai reçu et de celui que j'ai répondu à EUE.

Cher Monsieur,

J'ai pris connaissance à travers la bibliothèque de votre université que vous êtes l'auteur de l'ouvrage intitulé "La protection des assurés", soumis en 2011.
Nous planifions de lancer quelques publications sur ce même thème et je me permets ainsi de m'enquérir de votre intérêt quant à une publication de cette œuvre chez nous.
Les Éditions Universitaires Européennes se spécialisent depuis plusieurs années dans la publication et la commercialisation de travaux de fin d'études sous forme de livres brochés.
Nous vous proposons donc nos services de publication afin de rendre votre travail disponible à travers les plus grands diffuseurs mondiaux, tels que Amazon.

Je vous serais très reconnaissant de bien vouloir me confirmer votre intérêt à cet égard, afin que je puisse vous faire parvenir une brochure détaillée par courriel.

Au plaisir de vous lire bientôt.

Très cordialement,

Bonjour,

Il semble que votre mail est bien officiel, mais j'ai pu quand même constater certaines erreurs telles que l'année de soumission de mon mémoire. 

J'aimerais savoir quels sont mes intérêts autres que la publication gratuite via votre site. De plus, comment faites-vous pour contrôler la qualité des travaux susceptibles d'être publiés?
