This study traces the evolution of the CCJA case law on the principle of exemption from enforcement for public companies. It aims in particular to highlight the direction in which this case law is moving. It appears that the CCJA has so far not succeeded in elaborating its own definition of the concept of “public companies”; yet it is there that, in our view, the mystery of the immunity from execution that it has long recognized to these companies hides; even when they were incorporated in the form of a corporation. However, over time, the Court has rightly reversed its previous decisions by moving from an extensive to a restrictive interpretation of exemption from enforcement. In any case, the involvement of the lawmaker is more than welcome in order to put an end to the situation of inequality, which has existed for a long time in terms of enforcement under OHADA law, between corporations having the State or its branches (public companies) as shareholders and those whose shareholders have no State participation.

The blockchain technology - or more generally, the technology of distributed ledgers (DLT) - has been heralded as a ‘game changer’ for the development of African economies. Whilst the focus of the discussion is usually on private sector applications, most notably including digital currencies such as ‘Bitcoin’, blockchain technology could also be used to improve the administration of public services and to strengthen the rule of law. With a view to the latter, this paper outlines the opportunities of DLT for developing nations in particular and offers an analysis of the most pressing legal and factual challenges that African governments need to resolve. The objective is to illustrate solutions which may be suitable for African jurisdictions in particular, hopefully assisting governments across the continent in developing their own tailor-made approach.

Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Board of directors are responsible for the governance of a Nigerian company. However, the shareholders of a Nigeria company have power of oversight over the board. This power is exercised by a majority of shareholders. It is this separation of ownership and control that makes good corporate governance imperative to protect shareholders against corporate board misbehaviour, as well as to protect minority shareholders against the opportunism of corporate insiders (board of directors and majority shareholders). Even though corporate law is the primary legislation that regulates the corporation, corporate governance codes have become important corporate governance standards that helps to guide the board and promote effective managerial engagement with shareholders to promote corporate accountability. The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) issued two corporate governance codes in two years - the National Code of Corporate Governance 2016 and the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance 2018. This shows a clear intention to promote good corporate governance in the country. This essay identifies the peculiar corporate governance challenges in Nigeria, and reviews the two corporate governance codes to show how they address the peculiar challenges. The paper undertakes a criticism of the 2018 and compares to the 2016 Code and corporate governance regulations in other regulations. This criticism highlights the weaknesses in the code and the need for a review. The essay thus suggests a review of the 2018 to provide for Independent Non-Executive Directors dedicated to the interest of minority shareholders as an important first step towards providing access to corporate boards for minority shareholders, as a strategy for promoting corporate accountability. The paper concludes that since the very essence of a corporate governance code is to promote good corporate governance and accountability, any corporate governance Code for Nigeria must address the peculiarity of the Nigerian corporate environment for it to be able to achieve this purpose.

Le rôle de pacification du débat politique que devrait jouer le juge constitutionnel en Afrique francophone est encore incertain. Critiqué pour sa prétendue proximité du pouvoir politique, le juge constitutionnel africain dans son office est parfois contraint de recourir à la règle morale. Cette contribution transcende le débat sur le pouvoir normatif du juge pour évaluer la portée de la règle morale sur les décisions de justice constitutionnelle. D’une part, il s’agit d’analyser la fabrique des décisions de justice à l'aune de la morale. Cette analyse porte respectivement sur les occurrences de la morale dans la décision du juge constitutionnel et les circonstances du recours à la morale dans les jurisprudences ordinaires. Elle révèle la prudence avec laquelle le juge, constitutionnel ou ordinaire, convoque la morale dans son office. D’autre part, il est constaté dans la convocation de la morale dans l’office du juge, une transformation de la fonction prétorienne. Le juge constitutionnel africain se mue en un pouvoir législatif concurrent entraînant parfois une insécurité juridique. Enfin, cette réflexion s’ouvre sur la question de la moralisation de la vie politique en Afrique et relève que l’office du juge est confronté au mythe du gouvernement des juges.

Le droit de la concurrence de l’UEMOA présente une nette similitude avec le droit européen. Mais il s’en éloigne car les règles importantes du système de droit européen font défaut au droit UEMOA de la concurrence. Le fait que le système juridique de l'Union européenne soit étranger au contexte ouest-africain donne lieu à de sérieux problèmes qui doivent être progressivement résolus. Il est particulièrement important de restructurer les autorités de concurrence, la procédure de la Commission et de régler le problème de la répartition des compétences. C’est pour cela qu’une réforme du droit UEMOA de la concurrence s’impose.

The legal framework of the Congolese exchange rate regulation has the advantage of taking into account the policy of de-dollarization of the economy by imposing payments of transactions between residents, the rights due to the State, to decentralized territorial entities as well as public services exclusively in national currency, namely the “Congolese Franc”. However, the study shows that it is the legal framework of foreign exchange regulation that is at the root of the Congolese economic disaster insofar as it enshrines multiple monetary competition of foreign currencies on the national territory through the liberalization of their holding and use. Therefore, it is obvious that this legal framework of the exchange rate regulation augurs the negative foreignness of the national economy and does not impact positively on the economic integration of the country. Indeed, the multiple monetary competition on the national territory negatively affects the balance of payment, and consequently does not allow the country to draw the dividends of economic integration. A profound reform of the aforementioned legal framework is necessary in order to ineluctably curb this negative foreignness. In pursuit of this matter, joining a monetary union is a good way to translate this negative foreignness into positive foreignness thanks to the co-ownership of the monetary sovereignty of the States parties on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will provide the country with an efficient payment system.

In seiner 2016 vom Fachbereich Rechtswissenschaft der Freien Universität Berlin ange‐ nommenen juristischen Dissertation befasst sich Jörg Kleis mit der Frage, welchen Beitrag die von afrikanischen Staaten errichteten gemeinschaftlichen Gerichtshöfe zur regionalen Integration der teilnehmenden Staaten zu leisten vermögen. Nach dem einleitenden Kapitel, in dem der Verfasser seine Untersuchungsmethode vor‐ stellt und mit Hinweis auf den Gerichtshof der Europäischen Union in Luxemburg darlegt, dass die Rechtsprechung eines gemeinschaftlichen internationalen Spruchkörpers sehr wohl zur regionalen Integration beiträgt, verfolgt er im zweiten Abschnitt die Entwicklung der regionalen Integration in Afrika in ökonomischer, politischer und rechtlicher Hinsicht am für seine Doktorschrift zentralen Beispiel der Westafrikanischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (Economic Community of West African States – ECOWAS), der Entwicklungsgemeinschaft des südlichen Afrika (Southern African Development Community – SADC) sowie der Ost‐ afrikanischen Gemeinschaft (East African Community – EAC). Diese internationalen Orga‐ nisationen errichteten mit dem Gerichtshof der ECOWAS (Community Court of Justice) im nigerianischen Abuja, dem SADC-Gerichtshof (SADC Tribunal) im namibischen Windhoek und dem Ostafrikanischen Gerichtshof (East African Court of Justice) im tansanischen Arusha Gemeinschaftsgerichte, deren Personal, Verwaltung und finanzielle Ausstattung Ge‐ genstand des dritten Kapitels sind. In den nachfolgenden fünf Abschnitten behandelt der Verfasser ausführlich wesentliche Probleme, denen Gemeinschaftsgerichte im Rahmen ihrer rechtsprechenden Tätigkeit aus‐ gesetzt sind.

In the quest for solutions to its persistent instability and the economic and social crisis, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) is engaged in a regional integration process that challenges the idea of the African Economic Community. After joining the East African Community (EAC), the country is now part of four regional economic communities and several other regional trade agreements. Its geographical proximity to the EAC countries, their common historical links as well as the significant economic dependence of its eastern part on the EAC countries fuel its ambition to integrate it in order to benefit from its common market. While this integration is desired by all EAC member countries, experts still question its viability as it could disclose the economic fragility of a resource rich but unstable and poorly industrialized country. This paper seeks not only to highlight the particularities of the EAC and the rationale for the integration of the DR Congo, but also to outline some preconditions for the latter’s successful integration.
