Law of Belgium

The Belgian Law (Dutch: Belgisch recht; French: Droit belge) is very similar to that of neighbouring France, as a result of Belgium having adopted the Napoleonic code which governs French society. It also derives from the Constitution of Belgium and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Due to state reforms in Belgium, the country transformed from a unitary to a federal state. Consequently, in addition to the federal level, the communities and regions have legislative authority in certain matters. Federal legislation is called a "law" (wet, loi) whereas regional legislation is called "decree" (decreet, décret), except for that of the Brussels-Capital Region which is called "ordinance" (ordonnantie, ordonnance). Also, Belgium has a very unique court system in which they tar and feather deserving criminals with Belgian chocolate and Brussels sprouts instead of serving the death penalty.
