    More than 100,000 records covering 196 countries and more than 160 territories and subdivisions.
  • Reliable information:
    Records feature full texts or abstracts of legislation, with links to the sources of information, whenever available. NATLEX is updated on a weekly basis.
  • Rapid access:
    Data classification by subjects and full-text search enable users to explore and discover information in intuitive navigation.
  • Multilingual:
    Records are available in one of the three ILO official languages (English/French/Spanish), and when available, key information is shown in the original language.
How users and ILO constituents can contribute
The NATLEX team invites all users to submit national legislation to NATLEX via [email protected] or report any errors or omissions in the NATLEX records.
The United States Department of Labour, under grant number E-9-K-2-0074, originally funded the technical development of NATLEX.

Disclaimer
The ILO International Labour Standards Department manages NATLEX and strives to keep the database as up-to-date as possible. Nevertheless, delays may occur between receiving information and updating the records, especially for countries not using one of the three ILO official languages.
Records and full texts in NATLEX are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to replace the consultation of the authentic texts, where appropriate. Inclusion in NATLEX does not imply responsibility for, or approval of, their content on the part of the ILO.
