Basic Law

Basic Law refers to a set of foundational legal principles that serve as the constitutional framework for a political entity or region, particularly in the context of Hong Kong and Israel. In Hong Kong, the Basic Law was enacted in 1990 to outline the relationship between Hong Kong and China, ensuring certain rights and autonomy after the 1997 handover. In Israel, Basic Laws serve as key elements of its constitution, governing fundamental rights and the structure of government. These laws establish important legal norms and protect civil liberties, guiding the functioning of society and governance.
