Daniel SOULEZ LARIVIÈRE - The Court of Justice of the Republic and the Contaminated Blood Case

Pouvoirs n°92 - La responsabilité des gouvernants - janvier 2000 - p.91-101

The appearance of two ministers and a former Prime minister in front of the Court of Justice of the Republic in the contaminated blood case is a good example of the end of the legal extra-territoriality of the rulers and of the accelaration of the judicial penalization of French society. Instead of looking for a way to protect political leaders from a system that seems out of control, it would be better to look for ways to modernize seriously our procedures and judicial institutions in the general interest. Nevertheless, the judicial evolution forces us to renew our traditional jacobinic understanding of the separation of powers. Résumé
