Juridical and Legal terminology

YourTerm JURI aims to collect relevant terminology in the field of justice and legal terminology. It will serve as a valuable resource for the harmonisation of international terminology, as well as a reliable source of country-specific information on legal and normative systems.

The project on juridical and legal terminology has several sub-projects:

Disarmament Treaties

Disarmament International Treaties aim at reducing and eliminating the number of weapons in the armed forces of a country. This terminology material analyses the principles of international law and international agreements on weapons of mass destruction that are conveyed by technical and specialised terminology.
