Genghis Khan's Code

Genghis Khan's Code, often called the Yassa, was a set of laws and guidelines that governed the Mongol Empire. It emphasized discipline, loyalty, and merit, establishing strict rules for military conduct, social order, and justice. The code promoted unity among diverse peoples, ensured fair treatment, and prescribed severe punishments for crimes to maintain order. While not a formal legal system, it served as a unifying code that helped Genghis Khan build and manage a vast empire through discipline, strategic warfare, and social cohesion.
