MIVILUDES (an acronym for the French-language phrase ''Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires'', i.e. "Interministerial Mission for Monitoring and Combatting Cultic Deviances"), a French government agency, has the task of: * observing and analyzing movements perceived as constituting a threat to public order or that violate French law * coordinating the appropriate response * informing the public about potential risks * helping victims to receive aid The mission of MIVILUDES involves analysing "the phenomenon of movements with a cultic character whose actions affront the rights of man and fundamental liberties, or which constitute a threat to public order or which are contrary to the laws and regulations".〔 From the ''Journal Officiel'' of 28 November 2002, quoted in http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_interministérielle_de_vigilance_et_de_lutte_contre_les_dérives_sectaires : ''Sa mission est définie officiellement (dans le Journal Officiel du 28 novembre 2002) comme étant d'analyser « le phénomène des mouvements à caractère sectaire dont les agissements sont attentatoires aux droits de l'homme et aux libertés fondamentales ou constituent une menace à l'ordre public ou sont contraires aux lois et règlements ».'' 〕 MIVILUDES originated in a presidential decree on 28 November 2002. Jean-Louis Langlais, a senior civil-servant at the Ministry of the Interior, served as its president from 2002 to 2005.〔(Mission Interministérielle de VIgilance et de LUtte contre les DÉrives Sectaires )〕 Jean-Michel Roulet became president of MIVILUDES in October 2005.〔 In 2008, Georges Fenech became president of MIVILUDES.〔(Historique )//La MIVILUDES〕 In its announcement of the formation of MIVILUDES, the French government acknowledged that the predecessor of MIVILUDES, MILS (the ''Mission interministérielle de lutte contre les sectes'' or "Interministerial Mission in the Fight Against Cults"), had received criticism from outside France for certain actions potentially interpretable as contrary to religious freedom. The decree establishing MIVILUDES〔(Mission Interministérielle de VIgilance et de LUtte contre les DÉrives Sectaires )〕 referred to MILS only indirectly in announcing the abrogation (in Article 8) of the decree establishing MILS. In an interview given in March 2003, Langlais emphasized the fight not against "sects" (cults), but against "sectarian deviances". He stated that "current French law" lacks a definition for a "sect" and, therefore "the law cannot define sectarian deviances". Nevertheless he portrayed the role of MIVILUDES as contributing "to defining what could simply be an administrative jurisprudence".〔 'France and "cults": a new orientation' - Interview with Jean-Louis Langlais, by Willy Fautré. ''Compass Direct'', 5 April 2003. (Available online; retrieved 2007-01-28 )〕 == Activities == MIVILUDES provides information related to "cultic deviances" to the media, to the French government, and to individuals. It recommends contacts and other organizations, and produces and archives documentation and discussion-papers on groups considered cults.〔(Mission Interministérielle de VIgilance et de LUtte contre les DÉrives Sectaires )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MIVILUDES」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
