The focus of the research is on Comparative Research the lessons learned from the reform in demo- cratic states and the challenges for the coun- tries in transition in designing the prosecution institution. The comparative research shows that there is JUSTICE not a universal model of prosecutorial indepen- dence and accountability. Hence, the reformers and decision makers have on their disposition a large variety of approaches to choose from on the occasion of a concrete reform.

Tribune pour un « Code » de règles juridiques internationales applicable au cyberespace. Le Cyberespace, 5ème Champ de conflictualité. Le cyberespace est défini par l’Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (ANSSI) comme un « espace de communication constitué par l’interconnexion mondiale d’équipements de traitement automatisé de données numériques ». Il s’agit du 5ème champ de conflictualité, après l’air, l’eau, l’espace, la terre et la mer. Les trois éléments qui caractérisent le cyberespace, sont les réseaux physiques et virtuels, l’information et la donnée, la capacité de prolifération des outils malveillants du fait de la nature même du cyberespace. Le cyberespace n’échappe pas à toute régulation. S’il faut louer le travail du Conseil de l’Europe, la Convention de Budapest est néanmoins aujourd’hui le seul texte à vocation internationale applicable et reconnu par les pays signataires. Toutefois, en raison de sa limitation géographique, la Convention de Budapest présente des restrictions pour la lutte contre les cybermenaces. Or, les conflits qui se déroulent dans le cyberespace ne sauraient échapper, dans un système international et mondial fondé sur le droit, à toute régulation. La France participe à un groupe d’Etats, sélectionnés au sein de l’ONU, avec pour mission de travailler à la formulation de recommandations pour le renforcement de la sécurité du cyberespace.

According to National Police Commissioner Ambrósio de Lemos there is need to reduce the current airport base to a small opera- tional unit, in line with the requirements established by the Na- tional Company of Air Navigation and Exploration of Airports (Enana). Until recently all resources were based in Luanda but © Airbus Helicopters the plan is to decentralise the aircraft to smaller units and im- prove reaction times. One of the new smaller unit bases was opened at the end of February to operate from a hanger at the Mukanka International Airport (Huila) and the helicopters will cover the four provinces that comprise the country’s southern region, Cuando Cubango, Cunene, Huíla and Namibe and eventually central Huambo.
