In order to strengthen their participation in world economic exchanges and promote foreign investment, several french speaking African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Comoros, Congo, Côte d' Ivoire, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo) set up an organization named "OHADA" whose mission is to harmonize legal and judicial rules relating to trade.
Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry and the Democratic Republic of Congo rejoined Ohada later and helped elaborate not only regulations, but also and above all uniform acts on general commercial law, commercial companies law and economic interest grouping, Cooperative companies law, organisation of security interests, debt collection and enforcement procedures, company reorganization and liquidation, arbitration law, contract for the carriage of goods by road and mediation
All these diverse law issues needed to be addressed, as well as their doctrinal and practical interest which led to the creation of the Ohada Commission by the UIA.
The OHADA Working Group is a platform for exchanges, analyses and discussions on extremely important but also complex subjects and themes that the members aspire to master.
To facilitate its mission, the Working Group organizes seminars and conferences on Ohada law.The Ohada Commission came together to tackle all these issues that we, the practitioners of this law, appreciate so much.
