Riyadh: Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi launched today the Gulf Legislation Platform at the headquarters of the General Secretariat. This platform is one of the initiatives designed to enhance legislative integration among the GCC states by enabling the review of unified Gulf legislation issued within the framework of joint Gulf action and providing a unified electronic reference that contributes to supporting legislative and legal work across the council states.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the platform provides advanced search services that enable government and legal entities in the member states, as well as specialists, researchers, and legal professionals, to access and review unified Gulf legislation and national legislation with efficiency and ease. This enhances the exchange of legal expertise and supports legislative coordination and integration among the council states. The platform currently includes more than 24,700 legal and legislative documents.

The platform has been designed to be flexible and user-friendly, allowing beneficiaries to access the required legislative information and documents quickly and efficiently. The first phase of the project includes the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman, while the competent authorities at the General Secretariat continue to work on completing the linkage with the remaining member states during the upcoming phases, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the platform and contributing to accomplishing its objectives aimed at developing the joint Gulf legislative action system and serving researchers, specialists, and decision-makers across the GCC states.
