Comparative Laws of Neighbouring Somali Speaking Countries
Although The Republic of Somaliland still shares some of the pre 1991 Somali Republic laws with Somalia, the new laws in Somalia (including the Puntland Region) and those of the neighbouring Somali Region of Ethiopia and of the Republic of Djibouti are all of interest to Somaliland lawyers and law students and to the Somaliland business community. Knowledge of and, where possible, harmonisation of laws are important in all countries that share boundaries and this page is aimed at covering, where available, laws in these Somali speaking countries, and specially those that cover civil, commercial and personal matters.
(Disclaimer: Efforts have been made to check that these laws are current, but Somalilandlaw.com makes no claims about the correctness or otherwise of these laws. This information is provided free for information and educational purposes only)
