Access to legal norms - Proceedings, Borovers, November 1998 (2000)

As access to legal norms is an essential element of a state governed by the rule of law, it is for the public authorities to organise the system in such a way that public access to legal norms is guaranteed and ensured that it is publicised. Technological advances are making it possible to easily and widely disseminate legal norms. In order to make these norms comprehensible to those responsible for its application and monitoring, it is necessary to organise a coherent and comprehensible normative system. This is the only means by which easier access to sources of law by the public is possible.
