Right from the release of the film Dr. No (Terence Young, 1962), the hero's mobility played an important part in the identity of the series: James Bond's many espionage travels to distant locations and his use of sometimes dizzying transportation technology made him a “hypermobile” individual. The present article, joining a cine-musicological approach with a geographical one, interrogates the depiction of 007's means of transportation and his trips and their inflection over the years in keeping with the evolution of mobility in the latter half of the twentieth century. The depiction of mobility, an essential element of the “Bond formula,” depended at one and the same time on directing decisions, the physical capabilities of the actor playing the role of Bond and the economic, sociological and technological contexts in which 007 evolved. A comparative analysis by means of detailed discussion of several car chases will illustrate this evolution on the basis of such unforgettable kinds of scenes.

The presence of regional systems designed for human rights protection can be explained by the need to create international systems which gather States who share common political, economical, social conceptions or beliefs. These conceptions are generally reflecting not only the same historical and legal traditions and cultural and ideological realities, but also common philosophical criteria. Taking that into account, the interamerican system offers to the peoples of the Americas an adequate level of protection adapted to the work reflected in their Constitutions. Starting from this postdate, the author observes the evolution of the interamerican system through its legal instruments and institutions. On the institutional level, she particularly insists on the role of the Interamerican Commission in view of the OAS Charter and the American convention and also in view of the regional practices, with a special reference to the recent cases of Haïti and Cuba. The author also takes a look at the work done by the ICHR and analyses the participation of individuals into its procedure. At last, (according to Robert & Collins) the author gives an encouraging review of the interamerican system and praises the new path which the Americas seem to be taking for the benefit of a better protection of human rights.

Recently, one could witness a resurgence of the debate on the drug policy, a debate that many thought passé since the late seventies. Adding to the already existing arguments against the international conventions and the national drug laws the negative experience of 15 years of repression and the fait accompli of the lost «war against drugs», the new movement, an international one, has become openly anti-prohibitionist.
