I. Un Premier Bilan Quel premier bilan peut-on faire de l’OHADA après quelques années d’application des Actes Uniformes␣ ? Force est de constater qu’en dépit de certaines difficultés, bien naturelles et largement prévisibles pour une réforme de cette ampleur, l’OHADA est devenue une réalité incontournable. Pour apprécier la situation à sa juste mesure, deux facteurs essentiels nous paraissent devoir être pris en compte.

Never in the history of humankind has so much information been so widely available, so many places so easily accessible or markets so readily open. This new openness is the result of technical achievements coupled with economic development as well as the emergence of new mentalities. Globalisation has obvious positive effects but also carries concomitant risks such as the inevitably homogenising effect upon cultural diversity or the unchecked spread of criminal behaviour. It has also affected the way governments design their policies since the lines between domestic and international issues are becoming increasingly blurred. Moreover, the impact that national or regional interests have at global level has grown steadily. While the concept of superpowers is still a valid one, the in uence that countries exert is not measured in military terms alone, but in economic ones, thus transforming at the same time the very concept of security. Globalisation has a direct impact on the law, the way it is conceived, its content and its application at national, international and supranational level. Indeed, it imposes the de nition of universal standards affecting the very basis of the organisation of our society. This is particularly so in the case of human rights, where beyond their obvious objective and practical implications, different policies exist regarding compliance and there is a pressing need to ensure greater protection of fundamental values. Therefore, globalisation affects also the denition of legal rules at international level rendering some of the notions of international law. The Council of Europe, the pioneer among pan-European organisations, which is committed to increased intergovernmental co-operation in Europe and is fundamentally devoted to the promotion and protection of human rights, provides various examples of how the globalisation phenomenon has affected the law as well as the Organisation’s very existence and structures and the way it operates. For instance, in the eld of basic rights, the Council of Europe set up, as early as 1950, a most comprehensive and sophisticated system for the protection of human rights which has proven successful and is taken as a model in other parts of the world, such as Latin America. Human rights are enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights adopted in 1950 and breaches thereof are assessed by an independent body, the European Court of Human Rights placed under the

Introduction The history of the 100-year-old Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is a microcosm of a century of globalization, and its evolution during that period testi es to its ability to meet the changing needs of an increasingly globalized international community. Particularly in the past decades, the PCA has evidenced great exibility in meeting the dispute resolution needs of the international community in such emerging and expanding elds as telecommunications, air traf c control, mass claims settlement, international organizations and the environment. It has also become involved in global dialogue and the dissemination of information, by electronic as well as traditional means, on a variety of current topics in international law and relations.

L’énumération des activités possibles dans le cyberespace évoque pour le juriste un orilège de questions: respect de la vie privée et de la réputation, atteintes à la sécurité nationale, responsabilité civile, délits, peut-être même crimes, éthique, protection de la propriété intellectuelle, validité et exécution des contrats, défense des consommateurs, problèmes scaux pour n’en citer que quelques-unes. Et bien sûr, possibilités de con its, de différends. Les juristes raisonnant en termes de normes, c’est vers celles-ci qu’ils vont se tourner pour trouver des réponses à ces questions. D’ailleurs, tout le monde s’entend sur ce point : comme toute activité humaine, celles qui se déroulent dans le cyberespace exigent des règles pour les régir. En revanche, là où une fracture se produit, c’est lorsque l’on s’interroge sur la nécessité de créer ou d’admettre des règles spéci ques au monde virtuel. Comme le rappelle le thème de cette rubrique, le cyberespace nécessite-t-il de nouvelles normes ou au contraire, peut-il se satisfaire des règles de droit, lois, textes internationaux existants? Donnons quelques exemples, parmi tant d’autres, de divers sujets qui malmènent nos raisonnements presque ataviques et qui militent en faveur d’un renouveau normatif. En premier, il existe, dans le cyberespace, des notions, des questions jusque-là totalement inconnues. Il en va ainsi des noms de domaine. Indéniablement, ceuxci “constituent un nouvel objet de droit, propre aux nouveaux environnements électroniques”. Toujours au registre des nouveautés, que penser, en regard de nos connaissances “traditionnelles”, de documents, d’actes, d’ententes, de contrats, etc. dont le texte originel n’est pas directement lisible d’une part, le cerveau humain n’étant normalement pas apte à comprendre des séries de 0 et de 1 et d’autre part dont il n’existe aucun original? En effet, celui-ci reste dans l’ordinateur d’origine, sous forme dématérialisée et ce qui est transmis d’un ordinateur à un autre est toujours une copie. D’autres notions, connues, peuvent revêtir un visage différent ou avoir des conséquences insoupçonnées. Ainsi, en matière de délit, jusqu’à récemment, nous savions que lorsque quelqu’un commet une faute, elle peut évidemment atteindre parfois un grand nombre de personnes, ce nombre est toutefois relativement limité.
