Abstract: Some curves with low geodesic curvature on a connected, simply connected riemannian manifold with pinched negative curvature happen to be weakly convex. It results that on a surface with $1/4$-pinched negative curvature, the bisectors and Dirichlet domains of discrete groups of isometries with a finite number of faces are weakly convex.
