Our coverage of legal documents pertains to the themes of rule of law, transparency and accountability, and participation. Our researchers select those legal texts that provide the legal framework of these. On this page we record and analyze what we find online.

We provide current legal texts, while at the same time keeping previous versions of the text. Comparisons between old and new versions may explain some of the significant legal developments that are reshaping governance and leading to new legal practices.

The legal texts -sorted by country and then by year- provide the current version of the law followed by the older versions.
