Abstract

Alice Briegleb and Benoit Frydman examine compliance obligations in global law through the classical prism of the law of obligations. The authors analyze how compliance systems operate a transition from ex post (dispute resolution) to ex ante (risk management), encompassing technical standards and corporate social responsibility codes beyond classical legal sources. They demonstrate the transformation of moral obligations into binding civil obligations, and then examine how European instruments and judicial rulings require regulated actors to regulate the behavior of others within their sphere of influence.

Alice Briegleb et Benoit Frydman examinent les obligations de compliance en droit global par le prisme classique du droit des obligations. Les auteurs analysent comment les systèmes de compliance opèrent une transition de l'ex post (résolution des litiges) à l'ex ante (gestion des risques), englobant normes techniques et codes de responsabilité sociétale au-delà des sources juridiques classiques. Ils démontrent la transformation des obligations morales en obligations civiles contraignantes, puis examinent comment les instruments européens et les arrêts judiciaires imposent aux acteurs régulés de réguler les comportements d'autrui dans leur sphère d'influence.
