The ICA Cooperative Law Committee was set up in 2019 to provide independent advice to the ICA. The committee is composed of legal experts from multiple jurisdictions who are well versed in cooperatives.
Along with facilitating the reconstitution of the ICA Cooperative Law Committee, the ICA has, since 2017, coordinated review and reports on as many as 60 national pieces of legislation through research undertaken by the ICA-EU Partnership on Cooperatives in Development in collaboration with regional offices. The reports, which also measure how supportive of cooperatives national legislation is, can be accessed here.
In their advocacy towards favorable and conducive legislation, cooperatives are expected to protect the ICA Statement on the Cooperative Identity, which secures the cooperative and ethical values along with the seven operational principles of cooperatives and the all-encompassing international definition of cooperatives.
