Legislating for Equality: A Multinational Collection of Non-discrimination Norms; Asia and Oceania: Vol 4

Legislating for Equality – a Multinational Collection of Non-Discrimination Norms is a compilation of national constitutional provisions and laws on non-discrimination and the promotion of equality.

Each volume also includes relevant international and regional treaties and ratification tables. The first volume on Europe was published in August 2012. The second volume on the Americas was published in 2013, and the third volume on Africa was published in 2016. In this final volume of the series, we turn our attention to Asia and Oceania.
