Neben der Herausforderung einer Lenkung der Outsourcing, Software-Organisationen nutzen Technologien auf verschiedenen Wegen, Kosten zu sparen, zum Beispiel, indem Remote-Zugriff, Telearbeit und Service-orientierte Architekturen (SOA) (Scott, 2007). Fernzugriff und Telearbeit hat sich versechsfacht zwischen 1997 und 2005 erhöht und führte zu $ 300.000.000 jährlichen Einsparungen durch eine Verringerung der Büroflächen (2007). SOA ist ein ähnliches Konzept und beinhaltet eine Software-Miete für die Kunden. Statt Kauf, Installation und Wartung von Software und Servern, können die Kunden eine Dienstleistung online mieten und reduzieren die Total Cost of Ownership, da diese Tätigkeiten sind nicht mehr notwendig auf der Kundenseite. Allmählich wird der Virtualisierung der Software-Geschäft eröffnet neue Horizonte und bietet weitere Möglichkeiten, aber es stellt auch Manager mit endlosen Herausforderungen.

Einige der Stärken und Schwächen der Offshore-und virtuellen Team-Entwicklung wurden durch Slavova studiert (2000). Im Jahr 2000 wurden Indien und Irland den größten Offshore-Softwareentwicklung Standorten. Offshore-Gesellschaften bieten bis zu 60% Kostenreduzierung, eine schnellere Fertigstellung der Erschließung Aufgaben verteilen sie rund um den Globus, und spezifische Kenntnisse im medizinischen Bereich, die sie im Laufe der Jahre, die ähnliche Dienstleistungen an andere Kunden gewonnen. Die Integration von Arbeiten aus externen Quellen, stellt jedoch eine große Hürde. Darüber hinaus können sprachliche und kulturelle Themen zu schweren Kommunikationsproblemen, dass das Projekt in Gefahr, besonders wenn Missverständnisse Fehlinterpretationen des Projekts Spezifikationsdokumente Sache stellen. Slavova (2000) fand heraus, dass die häufigste Strategie zu beheben und Probleme mit Offshore-Anbietern zu vermeiden ist, sie regelmäßig zu besuchen face-to-face, aber diese Taktik führt zu höheren Reisekosten und Störungen der Manager Workflows und damit die Vorteile aufgewogen kann gewann für die Auslagerung von insgesamt. Manager in der Software-Branche müssen daher die Risiken und Chancen Potentiale im Vorfeld zu Outsourcing, weil für viele Unternehmen diese Strategie Gleichgewicht nicht auszahlen Ende.

Eine große Chance, dass in den letzten zehn Jahren entstanden ist online Innovation. Die kollektive Innovations-Bemühungen vieler Einzelpersonen und Unternehmen wird im Allgemeinen als Open-Source im Internet bekannt und es hat zu viele Fortschritte in der Computertechnologie, wie zum Beispiel das kostenlose Betriebssystem Linux. Auf den ersten Unternehmen bedroht gefühlt von dieser Welle der Entwicklungen auf dem Markt, weil die Unternehmen wahrgenommen wird, dass Open-Source-Lösungen im Wettbewerb mit ihren Produkten waren. In vielen Fällen war und ist in der Tat wahr, aber ein paar Unternehmen, darunter IBM, nutzen diese neue Art von Innovation für ihre eigene und für einen gemeinsamen Nutzen (Vujovic & Ulhøi, 2008). Da Software-Unternehmen in einer zunehmend instabilen Umfeld agieren, Kampf, den sie zu schaffen ständig neue und bessere Produkte. Durch die Aufdeckung der Computer-Code, um die Öffentlichkeit über das Internet, können Unternehmen von den Ideen der Öffentlichkeit vorgelegt, vor allem andere Unternehmen profitieren. Darüber hinaus profitieren Unternehmen aus freien Bug Feststellung und Prüfung durch externe Nutzer, sondern einer der Hauptgründe für "Going Open Source" ist die schnelle Annahme und Verbreitung der Technologie des Unternehmens bei einer relativ geringen oder keinen Kosten. Die Verbreitung von Open-Source-Technologie von IBM, zum Beispiel, ist auch kostenloses Marketing für das Unternehmen. Aber wie können Unternehmen Geld verdienen, indem sie etwas umsonst?

Die geschlossene Innovation-Modell (das traditionelle Modell der Bereitstellung von Software ohne Offenlegung der Software-Code) können mit Open-Source kombiniert werden, so kann das Unternehmen für das Produkt kostenlos. In anderen Fällen kann das Unternehmen die technologische Plattform im Internet kostenlos zu offenbaren und dann verkaufen spezialisierte Tools, die die neue Plattform zu nutzen. Das große Geld Sparer sind offenbar die gemeinsame Entwicklung, Erprobung und Wartungskosten, da viele Interessenten arbeiten am selben Projekt.

Das Wissen-Sharing-Modell der Open-Source ist nichts Neues, aber. Die Philosophie und die Vorteile von Open Innovation-Modelle wurden bereits im dritten Viertel des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts realisiert. Damals war die Open Innovation in der britischen Eisen-und praktiziert

US-Stahlindustrie. Die Zusammenarbeit vieler Akteure aus der Industrie endete die Herrschaft der proprietären Technologien für die teuren Lizenzgebühren zurückzuführen waren (Vujovic & Ulhøi, 2008). Angesichts der dynamischen Umfeld der IT-Industrie und der kurzen Lebensdauer von Computertechnologien, die Annahme von Open Innovation-Modelle gewonnen viel Popularität. Durch die Analyse der größten Open-Source-Akteure auf dem Markt, setzte Vujovic und Ulhøi zusammen eine Liste von unterstützenden Strategien, die in Tabelle 2 dargestellt ist. Einige dieser Strategien sind durchaus relevant aus einer Top-Management-Perspektive als auch, wie die Implementierung von Open-Source an einen Wettbewerber blockieren und mit dem offenen Modell als Gateway für den größeren Marktanteil.

Tabelle 2

Strategien für die Einführung der Open-Source-Ansatz (Vujovic & Ulhøi, 2008).

Business-Strategie

Beziehen höheren Marktanteil

Beziehen Marktmacht

Bessere Annahme eines Produkts und damit die Festlegung von Standards

Shifting Wettbewerbsvorteil für ein weiteres architektonisches Schicht

Der Herstellung der Ware mehr allgegenwärtig

Schnellere Time-to-market

Könnte Innovationen stimulieren

Ergänzend zu einem Umsatz Core Stream

Blockieren eines Wettbewerbers

Abschluss

Überprüfung der bisherigen eher Entstehung der IT-Branche und der Software-Industrie im Besonderen, können einige Parallelen zum Management der Geschichte gezogen werden. Während Taylor's Scientific Management war ein Highlight in der Entwicklung der Management Science (Wren, 2005), scheint der Software-Branche hinter dieser großen Fortschritt zurückbleibt. Aufgrund seiner hohen Komplexität ist die Software-Entwicklung Disziplin noch mit Qualitätsproblemen, die sich aus einem Mangel an Standardisierung geplagt. Ähnlich wie bei Taylor's Bemühungen, müssen Manager Software Development Prozesse zu analysieren und zu entwickeln Industrie-weite Standards und Maßnahmen. Sobald diese Maßnahmen und Verfahren existieren, wird dies dazu beitragen, dass Software-Projekte viel mehr vorhersehbar.

It is a really interesting concept

2010-06-08T04:05:00.000-07:00

I'll see what Sher wants to do... If she is OK with me going out, then I will.... It's going to be a lot over the coming weeks though I imagine, then with Luke's stag too... Sher doesnt like watching footy that much, so she might prefer me to go! Just the 4 of ya? No-one else.... Just Luke as a maybe???
------------------
Another piece of evidence to support my 'anchor text rules' theory... A new site is on the scence and top for the term 'ipad covers' and surprise, surprise... It is also showing as top for the site with the most anchor text pointing to that page with the words 'ipad covers'... However for the term 'ipad cover' another completely different site is top... Meaning that Google does see plurals as different and gives them different value.... Although it does give them some value from what I have seen! Thus getting top for 'ipad cover' should still be achieveable! This fact alone should again help me massively.... Why?

Injections do hurt

2010-06-07T06:06:00.000-07:00

Selon Hughes et Beatty, ces fonctions peuvent assimiler à la vision, la mission et de valeurs pour définir les facteurs clés stratégiques pour le développement d'environnements de succès.

Naviguer vers une destination

Avec la reconnaissance de systèmes, sous-systèmes, et les pilotes, nous pouvons voir notre destination dans la distance et leur valeur dans la construction d'une fondation pour soutenir les cinq principales tendances. Les cinq (5) les tendances clés aidera à définir la réflexion stratégique dans une perspective globale, la compréhension de la pensée futuriste qui englobe la prise de risque: l'imagination, la créativité, la communication entre la direction et un point de vue de la manière dont l'avenir peut rentrer dans l'ordre du jour d'aujourd'hui. Les cinq (5) les principales tendances sont les suivantes:

1. Compétitive en classe Learning Environments - campus on-site/online/distant

Une des attractions majeures de l'éducation aujourd'hui, c'est d'accueillir un étudiant à tous les niveaux: scolaire, financièrement et socialement. Ces trois environnements sont les principales raisons pour lesquelles une école est sélectionnée sur une autre école. Aujourd'hui, il ya un changement de marée. Les étudiants qui, une fois participé à des sièges dans les écoles secondaires post deviennent un atout précieux que les écoles post-secondaires en concurrence entre eux pour les étudiants. Les écoles secondaires ne sont plus seulement le chargeur dans les collèges. Aujourd'hui, les étudiants sont issus des écoles d'accueil, les écoles de carrière, les écoles à charte, les écoles à haut risque, les écoles privées, les écoles religieuses, les milieux de travail, et l'ATB testé environnements. Alors, comment le système éducatif attirer les étudiants et les garder motivés dans un environnement interactif d'apprentissage, ils peuvent pousser dans des? Wacker et Taylor écrit que l'histoire de chaque grande entreprise commence par la livraison d'une promesse, et chaque produit une grande entreprise fait n'est qu'un artefact de la vérité de cette promesse. Alors que la grande entreprise peuvent être créés pour attirer de nouveaux étudiants? En créant l'apprentissage / enseignement des environnements, les écoles post-secondaires peuvent préparer les étudiants à répondre aux exigences de la vie quotidienne et leur vie dans la communauté. Les écoles peuvent envisager l'intégration d'un modèle d'apprentissage pour permettre aux professeurs et / ou dirigeants de la communauté / entrepreneurs de l'équipe enseignent dans la classe environnement en ligne /. Équipe enseignante de contribuer vues précieuses sur l'environnement d'apprentissage, ainsi que, donner de vrais élèves de la communauté de travail à temps perspective. Dans un extrait de "L'Université et le nouveau millénaire: La Déclaration de Glion" (1998) cité par Frank HT Rhodes, président émérite de l'Université Cornell, pour le Conseil des gouverneurs d'État de Louisiane rapport, M. Rhodes a écrit que les universités sont des communautés d'apprentissage, créé et soutenu en raison de la nécessité d'élèves d'apprendre, le bénéfice pour les chercheurs de la communauté intellectuelle, et l'importance à la société de nouvelles connaissances, les dirigeants instruits, des citoyens informés, expert des compétences professionnelles et de formation et de certification et d'accréditation individuelle. Ces fonctions restent distinctes, une contribution essentielle à la société, ils constituent la base d'un pacte social non écrit, par lequel, en échange de la fourniture efficace et responsable de ces services, le public soutient l'université, contribue à son financement, accepte son jugement professionnel et à la certification universitaire, et lui confère un degré unique de l'autonomie institutionnelle et la liberté scientifique. Faire l'expérience de l'enseignement est d'apprendre, d'exercer la connaissance est la liberté, et de les combiner, c'est la sagesse.

2. Enseignement / apprentissage mains environnements plus sur

En tant qu'éducateurs postsecondaires renoncer à mains sur les styles d'enseignement-craie-conseil et d'établir des modèles d'enseignement de groupe, les élèves acquerront une meilleure compréhension du thème de l'environnement de classe ainsi que le professeur à développer une compréhension de la position de cultures de classe dans l'apprentissage . Les éducateurs découvrent que inclusivement styles d'apprentissage sont la refonte du modèle d'enseignement et de devenir une influence positive sur la rétention, de meilleures notes, la camaraderie entre les élèves, et un plus grand respect pour le professeur. En tant que professeurs apprennent à développer des relations avec les élèves, l'interaction sera transpirer, des conférences seront condensés en un laps de temps et d'apprentissage interactif entre les étudiants et le professeur permettra d'améliorer l'environnement scolaire.

3. Global expansion des capacités internes et externes

Les élèves sont entourés par des environnements virtuels mondiaux ou sont touchés par les éléments globaux: les vêtements qu'ils portent sont fabriqués à l'étranger, les jeux auxquels ils jouent sur leurs jouets électroniques sont créées à l'étranger, les jeux de guerre qu'ils jouent sont créés afin d'identifier avec les jeux de guerre mondiale, etc Seul inconvénient: le retour à ce scénario est une expérience véritablement mondiale d'apprentissage. Qu'est-ce qu'ils voient n'est pas ce qu'ils obtiennent, en temps réel une expérience globale. James Morrison écrit que, pour répondre à la demande sans précédent d'accès, les collèges et les universités ont besoin d'élargir leur utilisation des outils informatiques via l'apprentissage en ligne, ce qui leur permettra d'enseigner plus d'étudiants sans avoir à construire plus de salles de classe. En outre, pour les professeurs à préparer leurs élèves à réussir dans l'économie mondiale, ils ont besoin pour s'assurer que les élèves peuvent accéder, analyser, traiter et communiquer l'information; utiliser des outils techniques de l'information; travailler avec des personnes d'origines culturelles différentes, et s'engager dans continue, l'apprentissage auto-dirigé. Christopher Hayter écrit que les écoles post-secondaires doivent être «axée sur la mondialisation» pour le 21e siècle qui comprend un marché mondial et être axée sur l'international. Il faut donc s'assurer que les compétences nécessaires pour concurrencer dans un marché mondial sont enseignées et que la maîtrise de ces compétences par les élèves est internationalement étalonnées. Il peut aussi signifier un nouvel accent sur l'apprentissage des langues et la compréhension d'autres cultures et les pratiques commerciales des autres pays.

De plus en plus sont en expansion sur le marché mondial, l'ouverture de bureaux d'entreprise dans les pays étrangers et de l'embauche et la formation des employés de ces pays. Sont nos diplômés collégiaux en formation de s'assimiler à la culture et travaillent côte à côte avec les employés qui peuvent ne pas être en mesure de les concernent? L'élaboration des programmes pouvant accueillir des entités sociales et culturelles va propulser un étudiant dans les règnes supérieurs de l'apprentissage et créer un changement dans l'étudiant ainsi que le soutien de leur carrière pour leur avenir.

Great rankings and standings etc

2010-06-04T02:21:00.003-07:00

Well, it doesnt guarantee a good standing you are right.... However especially in the niche areas, it translates to a good chance to make significant ground! There are 3 big factors, 1 is links, 2 is domain age and 3 is domain authority.... Now 1 and 3 can be artificially inflated by links..... And I have to look to beat the competition on 1 and 3 in order to get good rankings! There are other factors such as title tags, descriptions etc... However these tend to be the same from site to site... It is 1, 2 & 3 listed above where you can make the most difference......... For the transportable homes site, I would be very surprised to see no significant movement due to the very slight competition indeed!

Domination to the nation

2010-06-04T02:21:00.002-07:00

Oh yes, domination should be pretty straight forward..... However I still dont know whether I would want to play power up games.... It would be so frustrating.... Imagine it, you have a power up... However someone else has invisibility and sneaks up behind you and kills you.... Or you have invisibility and are just about to kill someone, however he does power up, you try to run away, however one of his team mates kills you! Recipe for frustration mate! Give me a level playing field all the way!!

Linking needs to increase

2010-06-04T02:21:00.001-07:00

Ramping up the site work on the linking front.... I have around 2400 links to index for my 'portable dvd player' site which is very good.... I am in the process of showing Google these over the next few days and then after that, I am going to show Google some links to my 'transportable homes' site and to my 'ipad covers' site... And I mean profile links..... I think I have a further around 2k links to share around..... And I will only probably give the transportable site around 500-750 links, whilst giving around 1k to the ipad covers site and the rest to the 'portable dvd player' site............ Then after this, I will probably invest 1 more $10 in 5000 captchas and just do a run of the good sites I know with relatively good PR..... Whilst doing some blog commenting myself, just chucking in some high PR comments.... The good thing is, I can literally just make one comment on a lot of the sites and drop the location of all 3 sites.... So say 2 hours spent doing this, will be well rewarded indeed!....................... Will prob be a good 50 PR links to my sites from these actions alone! Good activity on the linking front mate.... So watch this space indeed!

Packs around the map

2010-06-04T02:21:00.000-07:00

Yeah but they were good as you still had to pick them up in the map... Now you get the ability to use these power ups whenever you want.... As long as you havent used it for like 6-7 seconds... It seems like you can use it again.... Trust me you will get well frustrated.... However if you start playing as a team, it would be well easy to beat everyone.... You could have 2 people using the power up traits and always go first and use their power up, 1 use jetpack to attack from above and one to use camo to sneak up on people etc..... If you have a good team, I can see it working.... Otherwise, I can't.

The government

2010-06-02T12:12:00.000-07:00

Make soooo many different and nasty decisions which do tend to upset people, there is a new government in the UK which is speaking a bit of controversity. What on earth will happen next.

If you stop

2010-04-14T01:58:00.000-07:00

And think about it, the government do make a lot of mistakes and I know for fact that this does tend to really disgust people. So if this happens to you, the best thing to do, is just hold on to your hat and think about what has happened and take it from there. Use media to show the world what the government etc is doing wrong too!

Uno

Is there any faith in the government anymore?!?

France Telecom blamed in four suicide
The responsibility of France Telecom in some recent suicide of company employees could be recognized.

Important steps have been taken in the difficult work of qualifying suicides of France Telecom employees, while a new case was found in Lille on Thursday.

A labor inspector to investigate the suicide last August in the Doubs, an employee of the company, handed in late January on the floor of Besançon a report stating that the provisions included in the Article 121-3 of the Penal Code relating to "manslaughter by recklessness" were not met, according to a letter addressed to the union SUD Leparisien.fr which publishes an extract on Friday.

These conclusions refer to the suicide of a young energy-conditioning technician, transferred automatically in response unit Bourgogne Franche-Comté responsible for troubleshooting customer France Telecom. The website of the newspaper indicates that the inspector believes that suicide is "related work" in a letter sent to the direction of the operator in Franche-Comte.

In addition, another report issued last March 3 at the direction of the operator by the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAD), recommends that three suicides and attempted suicides of officials of the company among the seven cases that have been submitted, be reclassified as accidents of service, the equivalent of the accident to the contract.

A "reform commission," convened by the direction of the operator must now decide on the accountability of these cases. Management has indicated it would follow the recommendations of IGAS. The reform commission composed of doctors and staff representatives must also provide a pension for the rightholders or annuity if the employee is permanently disabled, explained to Metro last November the Director of Social Relations of France Telecom Laurent Zylberberg,

The President challenged the UMIH, the main union of hotel and catering, Christine Pujol spent a second night in his office at the Paris headquarters of the union, refusing to leave while claiming to be "sequestered". "We can leave the office, but if we go out we can come back," said Christine Pujol, adding that several people from the show have been prevented from entering his office by the new leadership of the UMIH.

"Two security guards, I did not order, are currently in the corridor, they prevent any outsider to come to my office with us when we go to the coffee machine," she added.

For its part, the new leadership, embodied by Andre Daguin, filed in the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris an interim order to expel Christine Pujol's office she occupies. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, according to François Froment-Meurice, counsel for the new direction. Christine Pujol denies having been deposed at an extraordinary general meeting in November, held alongside the annual convention of the union by its detractors and has appointed Andre Daguin as Acting President. "I want to take over the reins of this organization to work," she said asking challenging financial compensation.

On Tuesday, the court dismissed the former president on a matter of form and therefore did not decide the merits of the dispute heads that lasts for almost four months. The president disputed claim that the elections held Monday by the new leadership be canceled.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrived in London Friday for talks in Downing Street with Gordon Brown should be dominated by the economy and defense, followed by a meeting with Conservative leader David Cameron.

The French President and British Prime Minister will meet for a working luncheon devoted to the preparation of the European Council of 25 and 26 March, on the economic strategy of the EU until 2020 and negotiations on climate.

Haro on hedge funds

According to the Financial Times of Friday, the two leaders will try to find a compromise on a draft regulation that European financial risk, according to London and Washington to undermine the hedge funds or hedge funds and investment companies.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner warned the EU against any project that would result in discrimination against U.S. companies, while London, the capital of hedge funds in Europe, concern new barriers to investment .

The Conservative party in the colors European

After his meeting at 10 Downing Street, Nicolas Sarkozy planned to meet with the head of the British opposition David Cameron, who could become the next prime minister after parliamentary elections expected for May 6

The spokesman for the Conservative foreign affairs, William Hague, has sought Wednesday to defuse these fears by stressing that London would play a "leading role" in the European Union if the Tories came to power.

Crime and punishment

2010-02-26T04:05:00.001-08:00

At least 16 people, including one French, were killed Friday, February 26th in a series of attacks near the resort Park Residence in the center of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. "I am unfortunately unable to confirm the death of a French passage to Kabul", announced Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner. "Terrorists come once again to demonstrate the few cases that make human life by targeting civilians with savagery, the Day of Mawlid," says he. An Italian was also killed in the attack, according to the Afghan Ministry of Interior, while an Afghan army doctor assured that an Indian was also killed. There would also injured 32.

A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabihullah Mujahid, claimed the attacks in a phone call. "Eight of our fighters carried out the attack, blew up his car bomb outside a hotel, two others have also detonated their bombs, others remain in place," he said.

Friday is day off in Afghanistan and the downtown was very little attended to in a time when the explosion occurred shortly after dawn. The Green Zone, the diplomatic district and residences of VIPs and foreigners in the heart of Kabul was sealed off immediately after the attack and police asked residents to stay home in disseminating messages in Dari and English by loudspeakers.

It is the deadliest attack in the capital since the Taliban had struck several targets in the center of the city, January 18. The attack in Kabul comes as more than 15 000 international troops and Afghan forces are committed for 13 days in a major offensive against a Taliban stronghold in Helmand province.

Large global hedge funds have launched major paris down against the euro, says the Wall Street Journal, Friday, February 26, citing "sources close". The newspaper said managers of large funds like SAC Capital Advisors LP and Soros Fund Management LLC, the famous American billionaire George Soros, were estimated at a private dinner in early February that the euro would fall "probably" around a dollar and saw an opportunity to pocket huge profits.

The euro, which traded at $ 1.51 in December, revolves around $ 1.35 these days, particularly due to uncertainties on the financial strength of Greece, but also other countries euro area. "By using leverage, traders - who often borrow 20 times their own setting, increasing the gains or losses - could do the job of a lifetime, if the euro down to a dollar," says newspaper. "If investors put $ 5 million on the table to gather 100 million on an operation, a variation of 5% can double their initial investment," explains he.

"It is impossible to calculate precisely the effect of paris down" these deep, says the Wall Street Journal, "but they have increased the selling pressure on the European currency. It is not permitted to hedge funds to such operations, unless the regulators believe that collusion between them, said the Wall Street Journal. Last week, George Soros was found in an opinion article published in the Financial Times that the Greek budget crisis highlighted the flaws in the euro area and would push to reform itself to be able to overcome the next crisis. In 1992, George Soros had committed a very lucrative speculating against the pound sterling, which had forced his withdrawal from the European Monetary System.

From my memories today rises the image of a portal. [...] Made of double doors that haunt my dreams, a lattice of iron welded on a tubular chassis, he closed the main entrance of the Embassy of France when the Khmer Rouge entered Phnom Penh in April 1975. [...] My eyes fell exactly where Ung Bun Hor, the last president of the National Assembly, had stood, legs trembling, and mechanically held stubbornly to undo his pants. The two French gendarmes who accompanied him - his supporters, because the poor man collapsed at the sight of the Khmer Rouge who were waiting on the other side of the gate - had long hesitated about this gesture before carrying it lost his head. Outside, a jeep and two covered trucks parked.
Milestones

March 18, 1970. The Head of State Norodom Sihanouk was overthrown by General Lon Nol, who establishes a pro-American regime. From Beijing, Sihanouk calls on Cambodians to go underground. The U.S. bombing and the corruption of the regime quickly grow the ranks of the resistance, including the Khmer Rouge took control.

April 12, 1975. The Khmer Rouge are approaching the capital. The U.S. embassy was evacuated. France recognizes the new regime.

April 17, 1975. Taken in Phnom Penh.

April 20, 1975. Ung Bun Hor is "delivered" to the Khmer Rouge.

January 7, 1979. The regime of Pol Pot was overthrown after "3 years, 8 months and 20 days", three figures etched in the minds of Cambodians.

November 2007. Opening the trial in Cambodia for a handful of former executives of the plan.
The principle of universal jurisdiction in question

Ms. Ung complaint against X November 3, 1999 the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Creteil for "crimes against humanity committed by the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979" and for "kidnapping, murder, torture and barbarity". An inquiry has been opened. The second judge received the declassification of telex exchanges between the embassy and the Quai d'Orsay, before being transferred.

His replacement, Mr. Toublanc, declared itself incompetent in 2007. He considers that the principle of universal jurisdiction, allowing the French courts to prosecute foreigners for crimes committed abroad if it is on French territory is not applicable. He feels unable to say that perpetrators are well in France, and the presence of any accomplices - police and French authorities - does not fall under universal jurisdiction. After several appeals, the Supreme Court ultimately reversed that decision January 30, 2009. On January 26, 2010, the appellate court bows and ordered further investigation.

"It is a very important decision that extends the principle of universal jurisdiction," said Baudouin, honorary president of the FIDH. The French court now has jurisdiction when the alleged perpetrators - be they authors or accomplices - are likely to be on French territory. A decision more important than is currently being held in Cambodia on the trial of former Khmer Rouge leaders.

These extracts Portal (1) Francois Bizot is on record a statement initiated by the French courts to determine the responsibility of France in the disappearance of the former president of the Cambodian National Assembly. After years of procedure (see 2nd box), this investigation, opened in 1999 following a complaint from the widow of Mr. Ung Bun Hor, re-launched January 26 by the Court of Appeal of Paris . It could, according to the wishes of the plaintiffs, lead to hearing French politicians of the era, including President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.

Ms. Ung has accused France, which had severed diplomatic relations with the previous regime after the coup against Norodom Sihanouk in 1970 (see references), of having betrayed her husband by the Khmer Rouge "appeasement":

The troops of Pol Pot entered Phnom Penh in April 17, 1975, the first day of "Year Zero" that plunged the country into a genocidal madness for nearly four years. In one day the city was emptied of its inhabitants. Nearly two million people are uprooted. Most Westerners have left the country. The Embassy of France, last diplomatic representation has to be left open, changes in international camp. UN officials, honorary consuls, agents of the international press, French expatriates and hundreds of Cambodian refugees have found refuge for a camera of three weeks culminating in an evacuation convoy to Thailand. Among the refugees, several officials of the regime that has fallen seeking asylum and protection. Ung Bun Hor in part. Repressed for the first time, he finally step into the embassy in favor of a mob.

Three days later, it is "accompanied" with a dozen other Cambodian officials, by two French policemen on the other side of the gate, where soldiers await Khmer Rouge. On entering the embassy, reports The Express, the Consul Jean Dyrac crosses a British reporter from The Sunday Times, Jon Swain, and he says, livid: "We're not men." Ms. Ung, who joined the France a few days earlier, never saw her husband. Naturalized French in 1976, she is convinced that the decision to "engage" the Khmer Rouge was taken at the highest level of French government and a complaint in 1999.

What happened behind the gate of the Embassy of France during these dark hours? Ung Boun Hor he was delivered to the Khmer Rouge or did he go himself? Thirty five years after the fact, accounts differ and the time spent obscures memories. The ethnologist Francois Bizot, who served as interpreter between the Khmer Rouge and the French authorities, was heard as a witness by the investigators: he emphasizes the dignity and coolness of the consul Dyrac Jean, a former resistance fighter who was he himself tortured by the Gestapo, facing a terrible dilemma. He said the Khmer Rouge, which does not recognize the extraterritoriality of the embassy, threatening to erupt if the officials did not they were delivered. Jean Dyrac for its part maintains that they had finally resolved to go in the hope they would escape death.

A version undermined by the testimony of two policemen in charge of handing Ung Bun Hor the Khmer Rouge. Contacted by The Monde.fr Pierre Gouillon, now retired, now refuses to return to this painful page of its own history. In 2007, he told the World: "I was a single performer. He did not go, we must be frank. He must have suspected this would happen. It was debated, it has grown. Anyway, the Khmer Rouge allegedly responsible power. "

The diplomatic telegrams between the consul and the Quai d'Orsay, published by Le Monde January 17, 2007, are in the same direction: they show that the French authorities were willing to give the names of dignitaries hiding in the embassy in order to avoid the worst. Upon arrival Ung Bun Hor, the Quai d'Orsay gives his instructions to the consul: "You'll be interested to know that we are not able to provide the protection they expect." On April 18, Jean Dyrac expressed his superiors of the ultimatum he received to deliver a list of names claimed by the Khmer Rouge and asked about the procedure:

"Unless immediate and express orders of the department telling me to give political asylum, I will be in a period not exceeding 24 hours to deliver the names of these individuals. Reply by telegram clear:

- Yes, if I deliver?

- No, if I abstain. "

Two days later, a dozen figures will be handed over to new masters of the country ...

"We're at the stage of determining the responsibilities of each other up the chain of command, said lawyer Patrick Baudouin, lawyer for Ms. Ung and FIDH, who has become a civil party. On the telex exchanges between Consul and the Quai d'Orsay is 'copy PR', for 'President of the Republic'. Hundreds of people were exfiltrées to Thailand. Ung Bun Hor Why has he not been so lucky? There was probably using a little more resistance to the Khmer Rouge. The case requires a hearing of the President of the Republic of the era. "
