Maud Coudrais propose, dans cet essai, de renouveler notre regard sur le droit pour lui redonner une chance d’organiser les rapports sociaux de manière moins chaotique. Elle dresse un constat documenté et sans concession du processus avancé de déshumanisation du droit, fondé sur le culte de la raison et la dévalorisation de l’émotion. Les normes s’artificialisent toujours davantage, combattant les lois de la nature et dénaturant la nature des lois. La pensée juridique se nécrose. Les avocats se bureaucratisent. Les juges se robotisent. Une grande partie du peuple est démobilisée et la force publique est livrée à une gestion managériale. En réalité, cette technocratie juridique n’est qu’une dangereuse illusion. Le mépris des affects est une stratégie vouée à l’échec comme les nombreuses manifestations du violent retour de l’émotionnel refoulé le montrent : intégrisme terrorisme, déjudiciarisation perverse, tribunal médiatique, démagogie législative, soulèvements populaires, séparatismes communautaires, ensauvagement sécuritaire, zones de non-droit… Ce livre destiné tant aux juristes qu’aux citoyens nous incite à tirer les leçons de nos expériences collectives en redécouvrant l’irréductible humanité du droit et ses vertus oubliées. Le droit n’est pas seulement un savoir-faire mais avant tout un savoir-être. La santé de l’organisme social repose sur l’indispensable interaction entre intellect et sensibilité. Ne serait-il pas temps d’arrêter d’utiliser le droit comme une technique de domination et de retrouver la voie d’une éthique juridique de l’humilité, de la bonne foi et de la bonne volonté ?

This book discusses psychological aspects of dehumanization and of the human tendency to dominate, control and potentially murder those considered "less than", or dangerous to the dominant group. It explores how increasingly severe dehumanization resulted in the genocide of six million Jews in the second World War.

From Syrian civilians locked in iron cages to veterans joining peaceful indigenous water protectors at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, from Sri Lanka to Iraq and from Yemen to the United States, human beings have been used as shields for protection, coercion, or deterrence. Over the past decade, human shields have also appeared with increasing frequency in antinuclear struggles, civil and environmental protests, and even computer games. The phenomenon, however, is by no means a new one. Describing the use of human shields in key historical and contemporary moments across the globe, Neve Gordon and Nicola Perugini demonstrate how the increasing weaponization of human beings has made the position of civilians trapped in theaters of violence more precarious and their lives more expendable. They show how the law facilitates the use of lethal violence against vulnerable people while portraying it as humane, but they also reveal how people can and do use their own vulnerability to resist violence and denounce forms of dehumanization. Ultimately, Human Shields unsettles our common ethical assumptions about violence and the law and urges us to imagine entirely new forms of humane politics.

In this unprecedented view from the trenches, prosecutor turned champion for the innocent Mark Godsey takes us inside the frailties of the human mind as they unfold in real-world wrongful convictions. Drawing upon stories from his own career, Godsey shares how innate psychological flaws in judges, police, lawyers, and juries coupled with a "tough on crime" environment can cause investigations to go awry, leading to the convictions of innocent people. In Blind Injustice, Godsey explores distinct psychological human weaknesses inherent in the criminal justice system-confirmation bias, memory malleability, cognitive dissonance, bureaucratic denial, dehumanization, and others-and illustrates each with stories from his time as a hard-nosed prosecutor and then as an attorney for the Ohio Innocence Project. He also lays bare the criminal justice system's internal political pressures. How does the fact that judges, sheriffs, and prosecutors are elected officials influence how they view cases? How can defense attorneys support clients when many are overworked and underpaid? And how do juries overcome bias leading them to believe that police and expert witnesses know more than they do about what evidence means? This book sheds a harsh light on the unintentional yet routine injustices committed by those charged with upholding justice. Yet in the end, Godsey recommends structural, procedural, and attitudinal changes aimed at restoring justice to the criminal justice system.
