Abstract

This article examines the législative structure of Moroccan law as it relates to scientific research. It clarifies the différence between research ethics, considered as général principles that may not be binding, and normative ethics, codified in binding legal texts. To illustrate this, the study employs comparative methods, comparing the Moroccan legal framework with the législation of various Arab countries. It concludes that thèse laws prioritize the natural sciences while neglecting the humanities, reflécting a négative hiérarchy that values the former and undervalues the latter The study emphasized that the requirements of scientific research nécessitate distinguishing between reliance on individual and public ethics and codified normative ethics defined by texts and implementation méchanisms. This distinction is crucial because it not only addresses the content of scientific research but also extends to its societal functions and its relationship to the values of citizenship, human rights, and human devélopment. Furthermore, it allows for considération of the context and societal transformations, requiring the considération of four pillars: the pillar of feasibility (which sciences for which society?), the pillar of the relationship of scientific research to others through defining mechanisms for transferring and adapting the natural and human sciences, the pillar of functionality that clarifies the function of sciences and how to harness them to serve human dévelopment without compromising human values, and the pillar of the motivating nécessities in the field of scientific research, subjecting them to contracts with clear objectives, areas, and commitments.
