Résumé
Codification has an insolent vitality at the start of the twenty-first century. Codification is indeed one of the most important global legal phenomena of the 20th and early twenty-first centuries. The strength of codification is undoubtedly to have known how to evolve without denying its past. In contemporary times, codification has two different forms: codification-modification and codification-compilation. However, codification has ceased to be the exclusive domain of the state, opening up to private codification and supranational codification.
