Benin Law

Benin Law refers to the legal system, statutes, and regulations that govern the West African nation of Benin. It encompasses various areas of law, including civil, criminal, and commercial law, and is influenced by both French legal tradition (due to Benin’s colonial history) and customary laws that reflect the local culture and practices. The legal framework aims to ensure justice, maintain public order, and protect the rights of individuals in Benin. It includes the Constitution of Benin, various codes, and laws enacted by the National Assembly, as well as decisions made by the judiciary.
