Je vais faire un scan/OCR de l'article sur le viol et l'envoyer a Jose. Si vous avez d'autres conseils, prier de me et/ou Jose les parvenir. Roger Wiesenbach Moderateur, Law-France http://www.liber.net/law-france/ === insert === From: Jose Perez Hello. Sorry I do not speak or write french, but I do read french. I am a Dominican student of law. I am currently working on my thesis. The theme of my thesis is about the need of reforming the art. 332 of our Penal Code that penalizes rape ( in spanish: estupro ). As you know in Dominican Republic we use the french legal system. Unfortunately almost no changes have been made to the Napoleonic code since the adoption of the french codes. I believe that our penal code is out of date when it comes to punish certain offenses, like rape. I would like to request your help in getting a transcript of the current text of the articles in the French Penal Code that penalizes rape. I have being trying to get a copy of the penal code ( I am currently living in New York City ) for several days with no success. Believe it or not there is no copy of the code in the NYC public library. [!] If you could also inform me of any electronic library that I can use to have access to the decisions of the French Supreme Court of Justice Decision (Jurisprudence) about rape, will certainly be of great help. I really hope you can help me. Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. Jose Perez jope@ix.netcom.com -- Law-France@amgot.org http://www.liber.net/law-france
