[17] Muri iyo nyandiko Me RWIHANDAGAZA avuga ko mu birebana n’amategeko y’umurimo, Urukiko Rusesa imanza rwo mu Bufaransa rwafashe ihungabana (trouble psychique) nk’ibikomere bisanzwe by’umubiri (lésion corporelle), akavuga ko urwo rukiko rwemeje iyo nyito ubwo rwasuzumaga ikibazo cy’umukozi wagize ihungabana arimo akorerwa igenzurwa.

Uko urukiko rubibona.

ateye mu buryo yumvikana, ko atari ko bimeze ku birebana n‘ijambo “ibikomere by’umubiri“. Akavuga ko ikibazo ari ukumenya niba iryo jambo rivugwa mu ngingo ya 17 y‘Amasezerano Mpuzamahanga ya Varsovie rikomatanya n’intimba, agahinda n’ibindi bikomere byo ku mutima, ibi bikaba byatuma uwabigize abibonera indishyi hashingiwe kuri iyo ngingo imaze kuvugwa. 1 www.weissbergavacats.com/publications/prejudice-moral-accidents-aeeriens.pdf 2 Caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/499/530/html [23] Nyuma yo gusoma ibyemezo bitandukanye byafashwe n’inkiko nyinshi ubwo zabaga zagejejweho ibirego bisaba indishyi zikomoka ku bikomere by’umutima (préjudice moral), uyu munyamategeko asanga inkiko nyinshi zaragiye zanzura ko, kugira ngo ibikomere byo ku mutima bitangirwe indishyi, bigomba kuba biherekejwe n’ibikomere by’umubiri bikomoka ku mpanuka.
