Abstract

Moroccan courthouses are increasingly using videoconferencing technology to connect an accused remotely to a judicial hearing. While videoconferencing is more than just a technological tool, it continues to raise several legal concerns due to the seriousness of the legal rights and principles at stake.

This article examines how videoconferencing technology is faithful in enshrining a natural and effective defence for the accused appearing at a distance. It analyses the transformations generated by this technology both in the ritual framework of the trial and in the perceptions of the various participants in the hearing, which may have an impact on the fairness of the trial and, more generally, on the image of justice.

摩洛哥的远程听证：技术的局限性及其对审判公正性的影响

摩洛哥法院越来越多地使用视频会议技术将被告远程连接到司法听证会。虽然视频会议不仅仅是一种技术工具，但由于其涉及的法律权利和原则的严肃性，它仍然引起了一些法律问题。本文探讨了视频会议技术如何忠实地为远距离出庭的被告提供自然有效的辩护。文章分析了该技术在审判的仪式框架和听证会各参与者的观念中产生的变化，这些变化可能会对审判的公正性产生影响，更广泛地说，可能会对司法的形象产生影响。

期刊介绍： The African Journal of Legal Studies (AJLS) is a peer-reviewed and interdisciplinary academic journal focusing on human rights and rule of law issues in Africa as analyzed by lawyers, economists, political scientists and others drawn from throughout the continent and the world. The journal, which was established by the Africa Law Institute and is now co-published in collaboration with Brill | Nijhoff, aims to serve as the leading forum for the thoughtful and scholarly engagement of a broad range of complex issues at the intersection of law, public policy and social change in Africa. AJLS places emphasis on presenting a diversity of perspectives on fundamental, long-term, systemic problems of human rights and governance, as well as emerging issues, and possible solutions to them. Towards this end, AJLS encourages critical reflections that are based on empirical observations and experience as well as theoretical and multi-disciplinary approaches.
