Who we are, what we do

Legislationline.org, a free online legislative database, is maintained by the ODIHR’s Legislative Support Unit. The database covers not only the legislation of 57 OSCE participating States on a number of human rights and rule of law related topics, but also respective international standards and selected case-law, as well as legal reviews, lawmaking assessments and guidelines, issued by ODIHR.
