droit positif

Droit positif refers to the set of laws and regulations that are formally written and enacted by a recognized authority, such as a government or legislative body. It includes statutes, regulations, and legal rules that are applicable and enforceable within a particular jurisdiction at a specific time. Unlike natural law, which is based on moral principles believed to be inherent, droit positif is concrete, codified law created through legislative processes. It provides the legal framework for governing society, ensuring order, rights, and obligations are maintained according to established rules.
