Critics agree that much of Southeast Asia desperately needs judicial reform and rule of law. Yet, there is remarkably little comparative scholarship on law and legal institutions in the region. In this blog, I'll follow constitutional developments in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

New UN Rule of Law Website and Document Repository
In yet another sign of the increased focus on the rule of law in the development community, the U.N. recently launched a website for its Rule of Law projects. The site connects all of the various U.N. agencies that work on rule of law projects and makes their research accessible to the public. Unfortunately for Rule by Hukum, the site does not categorize projects by country or region, so the only interview you'll get of the U.N.'s rule of law work in Southeast Asia is a brief summary at the bottom of the homepage.
