Abstract
Le droit international humanitaire fait partie de ses rares branches du droit international qui beneficient d’une tres large adhesion de la part de la Communaute Internationale et de la societe civile. Les juridictions internationales, Cour Internationale de Justice et Tribunal Penal International, ainsi que la doctrine se sont accordes pour voir dans les regles du droit des conflits armes des normes dotees d’une valeur superieure aux normes ordinaires. Elles ont ainsi ete qualifiees d’obligations erga omnes, de principes intransgressibles du droit international et enfin de jus cogens ou normes imperatives. Il ne saurait y avoir de plus grande reconnaissance juridique au sein de l’ordre public international a ce jour. En sus, le droit international humanitaire apparait comme un des elements fondamentaux d’une morale internationale dans un monde globalise. Aux cotes des Etats et du CICR, la societe civile s’est emparee de la question de son respect et meme de son developpement et nombre d’organisations internationales travaillent en ce sens. On ne pourrait ainsi envisager une situation plus propice a son respect que cette unanime consecration juridique et sociale. Pourtant le droit international humanitaire est viole a chaque seconde qui passe. L’objet de cette these est de tenter de reflechir aux facteurs qui expliquent la recurrence de ces violations, qu’ils soient juridiques, anthropologiques ou sociologiques

A Theory of Human Motivation

Abstract: 1. The integrated wholeness of the organism must be one of the foundation stones of motivation theory. 2. The hunger drive (or any other physiological drive) was rejected as a centering point or model for a definitive theory of motivation. Any drive that is somatically based and localizable was shown to be atypical rather than typical in human motivation. 3. Such a theory should stress and center itself upon ultimate or basic goals rather than partial or superficial ones, upon ends rather than means to these ends. Such a stress would imply a more central place for unconscious than for conscious motivations. 4. There are usually available various cultural paths to the same goal. Therefore conscious, specific, local-cultural desires are not as fundamental in motivation theory as the more basic, unconscious goals. 5. Any motivated behavior, either preparatory or consummatory, must be understood to be a channel through which many basic needs may be simultaneously expressed or satisfied. Typically an act has more than one motivation. 6. Practically all organismic states are to be understood as motivated and as motivating. 7. Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of prepotency. That is to say, the appearance of one need usually rests on the prior satisfaction of another, more pre-potent need. Man is a perpetually wanting animal. Also no need or drive can be treated as if it were isolated or discrete; every drive is related to the state of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of other drives. 8. Lists of drives will get us nowhere for various theoretical and practical reasons. Furthermore any classification of motivations
