About this data

This page measures how frequently UN treaties are cited in national laws by their exact protocol names—such as 'Geneva Protocol'—rather than generic terms like 'international agreement'. The data reveals gaps in legal transparency and harmonisation, showing where sovereign compliance is weakening over time. By tracking the percentage of exact citations and the median years since the last exact citation, we expose trends in treaty adherence and the erosion of precise legal referencing.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

No existing dashboard, dataset, or recurring publication tracks UN treaty citation drift by exact protocol names versus generic terms in national laws.
