The notion of “Compliance Monumental Goals” was proposed in 2016 by Marie-Anne Frison-Roche. It is becoming more and more explicit in regulations and case law. For example, to fight climate change or hate in the digital space, to prevent the collapse of economic systems and democracies, to make human beings effectively equal, to compel firms to be vigilant.
Compliance Monumental Goals are targeted ex ante by regulations, contracts, charters, soft law, unilateral commitments, and international treaties. They create an alliance between companies and political authorities, aiming at a new form of sovereignty. The presence in litigation of these Monumental Goals of global dimension renews the tort law, and the conception to judge. Describing and conceiving these Monumental Goals enables us to anticipate a Compliance Law that is increasingly powerful, framing and framed.
