Yet Law has always been present through the natural use of contract, an instrument of stability and organisation through which firms deploy their strategies. The introduction sets out the three questions that structure the colloquium: how do firms deploy and give value to their strategies through the contractual organisation of value chains? How do legal systems react, to a greater or lesser extent, to these strategies, depending on whether they know them and approve of them? And how can the firm’s strategy be articulated with the Monumental Goals underpinning Compliance Law when the contract becomes the instrument through which the firm implements its Compliance Obligation? - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

The new territories of Law are those where decisions are formed and which Compliance Law grasps: governance, conformity and vigilance, sustainability, data, value chains and the new contractual engineering, reputational risks; wherever long-term decisions are made, where responsibilities are allocated, where credible commitments are made. Everyone sees new missions there, for managers, stakeholders, politicians, auditors, judges, lawyers, and even professors, but everyone also feels overwhelmed by unmanageable regulations (NIS 2, DORA, FCPA, DSA, Sapin II, DMA, CSRD…). Lawyers must be present in this ex ante space, to bring out the humanism on which these compliance corpora are founded, to help build lasting alliances enabling companies to play their part in the compliance ambitions, and to organise the new evidentiary culture of all parties, so that the flow of information is credible in amicable, pre-litigation and litigation relationships. This requires particular qualities from the lawyer entering this new territory, which leads from the ex ante towards a new kind of litigation. Law appears there as an alliance, and the lawyer as the one who creates the link so that the European ambition of Law as the cement of systems holds. - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

Their entry into it is recent, probably through the so-called “Vigilance” Act of 2017, the expression appearing in the preparatory works, while it is expressly referred to in the texts of the European Union. It is therefore a notion stemming from financial management, which developed alongside the very phenomenon of the firm and of trade, as a way of escaping the instability of the markets for goods and services. But Law has always been present through the natural use of contract. Contract thus came before the perspective of Compliance Law found its way into value chains, contract being an instrument of stability compared with the exchange contracts on which competitive markets are built, but also in those organisational contracts which regulate value chains and deploy the firm in its corporate form (“parent company”) and beyond its corporate form (“principal company”). Used in what might be called a “bare” way (a reference to the “nude pact” that contract constitutes when it is grasped by general law alone), contract has thus been the means for firms to deploy strategies through the organisation of value chains. The first aim of this colloquium is to show how this is done, and how it is valued, since the term “value” refers to the capacity to give value, in terms of return on investment, to such a contractual organisation. The legal system may remain more or less neutral towards these organisational contracts, which are so many “regulatory contracts”, either because it does not see them, or because it regards them as always beneficial and therefore as justifying neither specific regimes nor legislative or judicial intervention. It is then a matter of legislative or judge-made policy. The second aim of this colloquium is to show how legal systems react, to a greater or lesser extent, to these strategies, depending on whether they know them and whether they approve of them. The development of the law specific to this organisational strategy differs greatly from one area of the world to another, which creates considerable practical difficulties, because value chains are by nature structured in a unified way across the different areas of the world, for instance between Europe and the United States, and/or between Europe and Asia. By injecting regulation into these contracts, which are not governed by a single legal order, corporate strategies lose their stability. Yet stability is the very stake of corporate strategy in this field, and it is for this reason that contracts have been designed and adapted so as to differ from exchange contracts and to become the basis of the sustainability of value chains, which is today a major geopolitical issue. Moreover, and this is the third point of the colloquium, legislative provisions and case law are not hostile to contract, but they take it in another sense. Indeed, if one considers Europe (a position legally and politically contested in the United States, which calls for “deregulation” so as to return to contract as a “nude pact”), contract is rather taken as an instrument provided for by the texts to enable the firm subject to them to implement its Compliance Obligation. This raises no difficulty if the firm’s strategy matches the Monumental Goals that make up the normative foundation of the compliance corpus in question (e.g. DSA, DORA, GDPR, AI Act, CSRD, CS3D, etc.), but the articulation becomes more difficult, or even problematic, when the two strategies no longer match. One of the ambitions of this colloquium, which gives as much room to management science as to Law, is to seek how, in practice, these difficulties can be reduced. - 12 November 2026, 4 pm – 7 pm, Université Paris Cité, Faculty of Law, Economics and Management, Centre for Business Law and Management (CEDAG), 10, avenue Pierre-Larousse, 92240 Malakoff Compliance and corporate strategies in the contractual organisation of value chains 🎤 Welcome on behalf of the CEDAG research centre: 🕴️Pauline Pailler (to be confirmed), Professor of Private Law at Université Paris Cité, Director of the Centre for Business Law and Management (CEDAG), member of the Institut universitaire de France 🎤 How contract plays its part in strategy within companies seized by Compliance: 🕴️Marie-Anne Frison-Roche, Professor of Regulatory and Compliance Law, Director of the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and of the European School of Regulation and Compliance (EeRC) 🎤 Compliance issues in public service value chains: 🕴️Véronique Chanut, Professor of Management Science, Université Paris Panthéon-Assas, Director of LARGEPA and CIFFOP 🎤 Whistleblowers in value chains: contractualisation and compliance issues: 🕴️Guillaume Delalieux, Professor of Management Science (HDR), IAE La Rochelle, Director of the LITHORAL research centre 🎤 Emerging risks, sovereignty and vulnerabilities of value chains: 🕴️Rémy Février (to be confirmed), Professor of Management Science (HDR), Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (Cnam) 🎤 The dynamics of value chains in relation to compliance: 🕴️Etienne Maclouf, Professor of Management Science, Université Paris Cité, Faculty of Law, Economics and Management 🎤 title to be confirmed: 🕴️Stanislas Pottier, Senior Advisor to the General Management, Amundi 🎤 Conclusion of the colloquium: 🕴️Mathias Naudin (to be confirmed), Associate Professor (Maître de conférences) of Management Science, Université Paris Cité - The work of this colloquium will form the basis of a specific chapter in the books: 📕Compliance et Contrat (Compliance and Contract), forthcoming in the 📚Regulations & Compliance series, co-published by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and Lefebvre-Dalloz.   - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

Then, following a chronological approach, the second part describes what happens before the public prosecution is set in motion, before the third part describes what happens from that moment onwards. The second part therefore examines judicial police investigations, the decision to take no further action and the alternatives to prosecution, while the third part deals with referral to the judge, the pre-trial investigation, the hearing and the judgment. - 📚See the entire collection in which the book is published. - 📚Books in the collection directly related to this one : 📕Droit pénal général (General Criminal Law) 📕Droit pénal spécial (Special Criminal Law) 📕Droit pénal des affaires (Business Criminal Law) -

Yet the “commitments” that punctuate the techniques and behaviours making up the “compliance culture” hold a central place in Compliance Law, without their place, let alone their equivalence with Contract, being settled. If one stops perceiving Compliance Law only through the prism of repression, the compliance obligation can be thought of as also having contract as a legitimate source, a contract whose source, in general law, is the autonomy of will and all its consequences. It is on the basis of this founding principle that this conference opens the colloquium. At the heart of Contract Law as of Compliance Law lies the will. But whose will? If the will of the Legislator shapes the obligation that companies implement, and if the Monumental Goals stem from the will of the Political power, companies would enter into them only as executors, and the contract would merely be a path taken by the law to apply more effectively: an arranged marriage. The conference proposes to link the compliance contract, or the compliance clause, not to the external will of a Legislator, but to the primary source of the contract: the autonomous wills of the contracting parties who exchange their consents, thus restoring to the autonomy of will its place as the source of the contractual Compliance Obligation. It first measures the concrete stake of designating this source, distinguishing three conceptions: the contract as the mouthpiece of the regulator, the contracting parties as the regulator’s “good soldiers”, and autonomous and convergent wills, which choose the ways and means of taking their part in the legal ambitions — Compliance chosen rather than Compliance endured. It then proposes to put an end to the current confusion between the force of regulation, the binding force of wills and the impetus of commitments, and finally to occupy the contractual sphere freely in order to develop a contractual Compliance system specific to each company. - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

It will be held in French. - Presentation of the topic: While Contract Law, in its common rules expressed by the “general theory of contracts”, is often considered to be the most developed branch of Law in practice and the most studied at university, at first glance it seems to be given little consideration when it comes to Compliance. The relationship between the contract and the documents, standards and ethical acts so numerous in Compliance techniques, to which is added the soft law produced by courts, regulators, supervisors and companies themselves, is an open question. Thus the “commitments” that punctuate the techniques and behaviours making up the “compliance culture” have a central place in Compliance Law; but their place, if not their equivalence with the Contract, is not established. To gain a firmer footing in the analysis of the practices of companies that insert compliance clauses into multiple contracts, to observe that Compliance can be the very subject of a specific contract — the “compliance contract” —, or even to assist in the conception that judges develop of their office when they hear contractual litigation involving Compliance, we must return to general Contract Law. If we stop viewing Compliance Law solely through the prism of repression, the Contract does not have the same place: the compliance obligation can be conceived as also having the contract as a legitimate source, a contract which, under general law, has its source in the autonomy of the will and all its consequences — contractual freedom, binding force, effect on third parties. This is the subject of this symposium which, following the classic diptych of formation and performance, takes up the contractual thread from the founding principles of autonomy and freedoms, binding force and its relativity, the meeting of wills, groups of contracts and regulatory contracts often drawn up to implement compliance policies. Specific performance and contractual liability under general law are themselves coloured in a singular way when a compliance concern has been inserted into the contract. - The proceedings of this symposium will form the basis of a specific chapter in the following publications: 📕Compliance et Contrat, forthcoming in the series 📚Régulations & Compliance, co-published by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and Lefebvre-Dalloz. 📘Compliance and Contract, forthcoming in the 📚Compliance & Regulation Series, co-published by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and Lefebvre-Bruylant. 🔻 See the programme below

A distinction must be drawn between the audit clause securing one’s own interests, the audit clause ensuring one’s own conformity and the audit clause carrying out a Compliance project. The audit clause then appears as the “necessary accessory” to the conformity and Compliance clause. It is the “objective reflection” of the legal Compliance Obligation, which requires “detecting” in order to act, and its “subjective reflection”, since the regulated party is in charge of those who, notably in value chains, are “concerned third parties”. In a first part, the conference places itself inside the audit clause. It shows how to draft it in order to obtain the relevant information from the persons who hold it and where it is located: designating in advance the information sought, the persons, documents and places, the event triggering the audit, periodic or linked to an event, who conducts it and its modalities, according to a criterion of proportionality between the extent of the information sought and the objective pursued. It also shows how to integrate from the drafting stage the limits and risks of this audit contractually imposed on others, notably with regard to the rights of the defence and the strategic use of the audit report. In a second part, the conference places itself outside the clause. The audit clause leans on other stipulations, conformity clause or Compliance clause, corporate relationships and governance techniques. Other clauses lean on it, in order to strike (dispute resolution, sanction and termination clauses) or to draw closer (remediation clause). The court will have to interpret it in the light of its purpose, as the “necessary accessory” to the application of Compliance Law. In conclusion, the Compliance audit clause appears as the carousel of the contractualisation of Compliance: where it is knotted, where conformity and Compliance are distinguished, where the judge contributes to the deployment of Compliance Law. - - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

We lack a definition, so their legal regime is uncertain. To consolidate this practice and ensure that its development produces satisfactory effects, these clauses must be classified, named and distinguished from one another. This is what this lecture sets out to do. In a first stage, a strong unicity of Compliance clauses appears. But this unicity is somewhat misleading. It proceeds from a confusion between contract and statute: whether the clause, as a block, obliges the other contracting party to comply with all the regulations, or borrows its unity from the particular corpus of which it claims to be the tool of application, the clause copies the legislation. This is the unified but rather archaic conception to which the Regulator has itself lent credence, by designating the Compliance clause only as a delegation within a normative power that would remain first and foremost its own. So as not to stop there, in a second stage, the lecture shows the great diversity of Compliance clauses, a de jure diversity born of the principle of contractual freedom and a de facto diversity resulting from the porosity of the clause to the activities concerned, the country and the persons. To be mastered, this diversity must be channelled by a nomenclature. It must also be preserved in a lasting way, because it stems from the general policy of the company and the project it wishes to develop, for example in the value chains it has chosen to build through regulatory contracts. Nevertheless, and this is the subject of the third stage of the lecture, there is a deep and programmatic unicity of Compliance clauses, which lies in the systemic goals they serve. In practice, this unicity is built through an interlinked system of clauses, precisely described and specific to each undertaking. At the level of a large company, this can give rise to a Contractual Compliance System, which is articulated and allied with the regulatory system. - follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on LinkedIn follow Marie-Anne Frison-Roche on Instagram subscribe to the Newsletter MAFR Regulation, Compliance, Law subscribe to the Video Newsletter MAFR Surplomb subscribe to the Newsletter MaFR Droit & Art

Il will be held in French. - To register: 🧮The event will take place at the University of Jean Moulin – Lyon 3. - Presentation of the topic:  There are numerous compliance clauses. Surprisingly little research has been done on them, which hinders the development of this practice. However, the Compliance Obligation that is so often emphasised in relation to civil liability no doubt because Compliance Law is excessively associated with sanctions, can just as easily originate from contracts and multiple clauses, since this is another way of being bound, without it being anything more than a means for the persons thus bound to fulfil their regulatory obligation. It is therefore practice that has developed compliance clauses, the very existence of which is the subject of this symposium. By highlighting these provisions, their originality can be revealed, as well as the uniqueness conferred on them by Compliance Law and the diversity that may be required depending on criteria related to the purpose of the clauses, but also to the sector of activity or the identity of the contracting parties themselves. From this already established practice, it is certainly the Judge who will determine its uniqueness and specificity. This case law is in its infancy because this practice is the result of compliance requirements arising from an emerging branch of Law, which is still under development. Furthermore, the clauses examined here are not conceived from scratch, but are often adaptations of clauses familiar to lawyers, and as such may be reproduced, regulated, or even restricted or prohibited by rules that fall not only under general Contract Law, but also, clause by clause under Competition Law, Distribution Law, Consumer Law, Judicial and Procedural Law, or Private International law. The logic of Compliance Law, when it takes contractual form, does not always prevail and, in the same way that Compliance Law as a branch of Law is linked to other branches, compliance clauses, if they are to multiply and become more sophisticated, must be subject to this link. x - The proceedings of this symposium will form the basis of a specific chapter in the following publications: 📕Compliance et Contrat, to be published in French in the collection 📚Regulations & Compliance, co-published by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and Lefebvre-Dalloz. 📘Compliance and Contract, to be published in English in the 📚Compliance & Regulation Serie, co-published by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC) and Bruylant (Larcier-Intersentia).   🔻 Read the schedule for the event below ⤵️

The role played by contracts has already been discussed therein, since contracts are both a means by which operators perform their legal compliance obligation and an autonomous source of obligation (which places the question of liability at the heart of the subject). This book specifically examines the role that contracts play and will play in the conception, development and implementation of Compliance Law. This aspect is underestimated because Compliance Law is often analysed through the prism of laws and regulations designed to achieve Monumental Goals set by states and public authorities, to the realisation of which systemic economic operations contribute through compliance tools, rather than through the actors themselves. When they do act, this is referred to outside the realm of Law, generally to Ethics. However, the Contract, the binding Ex Ante legal instrument par excellence, will play an increasingly significant role within global and interconnected compliance systems. In the European construction of Compliance Law, which places human beings at the heart of efforts to ensure the sustainability of systems, the Contract serves not only as the means by which the entity fulfils its legal obligations, forges relationships with stakeholders and implements the necessary innovations, but also as the means by which it exercises its autonomy to contribute to the realisation of the systemic ambitions in question, may go beyond public ambitions, enrich them, anchor them territorially, and identify them with its own activity and its overall corporate strategy, etc. To describe and anticipate the practice and rules that link Compliance Law and Contracts, the book first examines how this new branch of Law, insofar as it draws on the political ideas of the Social Contract, renews Contract Law by embedding it within the strategy of economic operators, a task made all the easier for them as they have built value chains through contracts. These are ‘regulatory contracts’. This demonstrates that Public Law Contracts exemplify the incorporation by General Contract Law of the overarching perspective of compliance, normatively anchored in the Monumental Goals (Title I). That explained, the book examines how General Contract Law interfaces with the techniques and objectives of Compliance Law. Whether through mandatory requirements, incentives or support, Compliance Law plays a role in contracts, helping to shape them in part, whether they relate to regulated or unregulated activities, with the points of contact with the principle of liberalism – and the limits to it – being determined by the courts. Conversely, however, General Contract Law contributes to Compliance Law and will do so increasingly. This applies equally to the stages of formation, execution, and sanctions, which may take the form of consolidations (Title II). In practical terms, the Contract itself serves as a Compliance Tool. As such, the company may choose to outsource the compliance function, which it is free to do provided it remains accountable for its performance to the legislator and the persons concerned: this is the concept of the ‘Compliance Contract’, which appears as a specific contract. Furthermore, compliance can be incorporated into multiple contracts—contractual arrangements through which the contracting parties establish one or more obligations that will facilitate or enhance their legal obligations. In doing so, legal entities exercise their freedom, as permitted by general law, as can be seen in practice “clause by clause”, and this is also recognised by the Regulator, Supervisor and/or Judge in light of the normative Monumental Goals of Compliance Law (Title III). Precisely, a new field of ‘contractual compliance litigation’ is emerging. The primary topic here is to examine contractual judicial disputes in which an element of Compliance Law features in the proceedings. Indeed, a dispute concerning a claim for mandatory execution, termination or contractual liability may involve, in the claim itself or in an procedural exception or defence raised, an element of compliance law, ranging from an allegation of lack of jurisdiction to a request for the court to take into account a systemic teleological norm that the contract judge should consider. Secondly, in certain emerging systemic compliance litigation, because the role of the judge is transformed and the procedure must be adapted, the contract appears as a particularly suitable tool, either as a ‘procedural framework’ through the contractualisation of the whole, or as a technique used in the strict sense, its ex ante nature allowing, in disputes concerning the future, the development of new adequate techniques (Title IV). - ► First presentation of the provisional Table of Contents  : - PROVISIONAL TABLE OF CONTENTS RENDRE COMPTE DES PRATIQUES CONTRACTUELLES DANS LE SYSTÈME DE COMPLIANCE ET ACCROÎTRE L’EFFICACITÉ ET L’HUMANISME DE CELUI-CI (REPORTING ON CONTRACTUAL PRACTICES WITHIN THE COMPLIANCE SYSTEM AND ENHANCING ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND HUMANITY) TITRE I.

This simple technical principle is essential because it is the foundation on which the digital space rests, in that it allows anyone to enter it, move within it and reach others. It is this principle of the open Internet that made possible the construction of the digital space in which we live. This technical system of IP addresses was made easily manageable by domain names. This manageability of IP addresses made the open character of the Internet effective and enabled the expansion of a space that was global from the outset, forming the basis of the digital space. These technical elements were directly translated into the addressing system through domain names, which was built by the Law. The resulting legal system of addressing reflects this technical foundation, and no one can either deny or undo this link: indeed, the Law enables the domain name infrastructure to function effectively on a global scale and in an open manner, where everyone can reach the other. Technical architecture and legal architecture are thus inseparable. This freedom for everyone to create and circulate in the digital space is made possible by technology and guaranteed by the legal organisation of the domain name architecture. This study is structured in two parts. Its first part aims to describe the legal framework of the global domain name system. Its second part examines how to improve this system: it first examines the technical effects produced by scenarios involving changes to the legal framework of addressing, namely a high risk of capture and/or fragmentation of the domain name system by regional zone. It then aims to demonstrate that if the legal organisation of the global domain name system were significantly altered, notably through the establishment of legal addressing zones that are autonomous from one another, the technical imperative of globality remaining paramount, interconnection between the different zones would be necessary and would then be ensured by a public or private actor who could thus effectively seize control of the technical system via these proposed new legal structures of the system, thereby taking over the whole. - PROVISIONAL TABLE OF CONTENTS   Putting into Perspective   PART ONE HOW THE GLOBAL LEGAL SYSTEM OF NAMING IS BUILT   CHAPTER I: ICANN: A LEGAL STRUCTURE OF CLASSIC HARD-LAW FORM, REQUIRED BY THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE ADDRESSING SYSTEM, TRANSPOSED THROUGH STATUTES THAT SEPARATE THE POWER TO PROPOSE FROM THE POWER TO ADOPT IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A “MULTI-STAKEHOLDER” SYSTEM WHOSE PURPOSE AND EFFECT ARE TO PREVENT CAPTURE CHAPTER II: THE EXERCISE BY STATES OF THEIR PREROGATIVES THROUGH NATIONAL PUBLIC LAWS: ARTICULATION BETWEEN THE TWO GEOGRAPHICAL SPACES OF HARD LAW CHAPTER III: INTERNATIONAL SPACES OF HARD AND SOFT LAW: UN, WIPO, ITU, WSIS CHAPTER IV: MIRRORING THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE ADDRESSING SYSTEM, THE INTERMESHED GLOBAL LEGAL STRUCTURE, ARTICULATING THE SPACE OF HARD LAW AND THE SPACE OF SOFT LAW CHAPTER V: INTERNALISATION WITHIN CRUCIAL OPERATORS THROUGH COMPLIANCE TECHNIQUES LINKED TO THE OBLIGATION OF SUSTAINABILITY   PART TWO HOW TO IMPROVE THE GLOBAL LEGAL SYSTEM OF NAMING   CHAPTER I: ASSESSMENT OF THE RADICAL TECHNICAL TRANSFORMATIONS THAT PROPOSALS TO CHANGE THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF ADDRESSING COULD BRING ABOUT Section 1 ♦️ Assessment of the technical consequences of the legal proposal to transfer the current complex and specific system into an ordinary mechanism of Public International Law Section 2 ♦️ Assessment of the technical consequences of the indirect proposal to establish separate blocks of systems by zone CHAPTER II: MAINTAINING THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF ADDRESSING, GLOBAL, PROTECTED FROM CAPTURE AND ABLE TO ENSURE TECHNICAL SUSTAINABILITY?

It then aims to demonstrate that if the legal organisation of the global domain name system were significantly altered, notably through the establishment of legal addressing zones that are autonomous from one another, the technical imperative of globality remaining paramount, interconnection between the different zones would be necessary and would then be ensured by a public or private actor who could thus effectively seize control of the technical system via these proposed new legal structures of the system, thereby taking over the whole. - PROVISIONAL TABLE OF CONTENTS   In Perspective   PART ONE HOW THE GLOBAL LEGAL SYSTEM OF NAMING IS BUILT   CHAPTER I: ICANN: A LEGAL STRUCTURE OF CLASSIC HARD-LAW FORM, REQUIRED BY THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE ADDRESSING SYSTEM, TRANSPOSED THROUGH STATUTES THAT SEPARATE THE POWER TO PROPOSE FROM THE POWER TO ADOPT IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A “MULTI-STAKEHOLDER” SYSTEM WHOSE PURPOSE AND EFFECT ARE TO PREVENT CAPTURE CHAPTER II: THE EXERCISE BY STATES OF THEIR PREROGATIVES THROUGH NATIONAL PUBLIC LAWS: ARTICULATION BETWEEN THE TWO GEOGRAPHICAL SPACES OF HARD LAW CHAPTER III: INTERNATIONAL SPACES OF HARD AND SOFT LAW: UN, WIPO, ITU, WSIS CHAPTER IV: MIRRORING THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE ADDRESSING SYSTEM, THE INTERMESHED GLOBAL LEGAL STRUCTURE, ARTICULATING THE SPACE OF HARD LAW AND THE SPACE OF SOFT LAW CHAPTER V: INTERNALISATION WITHIN CRUCIAL OPERATORS THROUGH COMPLIANCE TECHNIQUES LINKED TO THE OBLIGATION OF SUSTAINABILITY   PART TWO HOW TO IMPROVE THE GLOBAL LEGAL SYSTEM OF NAMING   CHAPTER I: ASSESSMENT OF THE RADICAL TECHNICAL TRANSFORMATIONS THAT PROPOSALS TO CHANGE THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF ADDRESSING COULD BRING ABOUT Section 1 ♦️ Assessment of the technical consequences of the legal proposal to transfer the current complex and specific system into an ordinary mechanism of Public International Law Section 2 ♦️ Assessment of the technical consequences of the indirect proposal to establish separate blocks of systems by zone CHAPTER II: MAINTAINING THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF ADDRESSING, GLOBAL, PROTECTED FROM CAPTURE AND ABLE TO ENSURE TECHNICAL SUSTAINABILITY?
