The applicable duty and the legal organization remained strongly influenced by the legal culture of France, some not hesitating to speak about true imitation. Apart from a trend use the technique of “copy-sticking”, it is important to stress that the French right remains applicable on the Central Africa territory under the terms of the PLANTEY ordinance of October 6th, 1958 which granted survival, in the new States having reached independence, with the colonial texts as long as the local legislative power would not have had which in differently…It is consequently not astonishing that the population Central African, mainly illiterate (nearly 70%), and speaking the national language the “Sango” rejects this law statute in foreign language in which it does not find a reference mark and continuous to take out to the traditional right and usual legal proceedings (justice of the chiefs of district, village, religious leaders etc.). The access to the right and the legal institutions encounters multiple difficulties: problem of language, culture, structures adapted for the diffusion of the right, of geographical distance, lack of confidence in legal and police staff, of the cost of the justice and the professionals of the right compared to the average income of the population… It then raises the question of the redefinition of the Central African right which would have on the one hand, to integrate local realities and to rehabilitate traditional justice by adapting it to the evolution of the company, all to implement to facilitate the official access of the population to the right and justice.
