2 The statutory law in the Northern Regions (ex-British Somaliland) and the Southern Regions (ex-Somalia under Italian Trusteeship) is still to a large extent different, the Northern laws being based on English and Indian law, while the Southern laws are based on Italian law. An integration commission is in the process of unifying these laws (e.g. a unified Penal Code has recently been introduced), but most of the other laws remain different. For details see E. Cotran: “Legal problems arising out of the formation of the Somali Republic” (1963), 12 I.C.L.Q. 1010, and interim report of the Commission, supra, at p. 56.
