Sources of the Law and Legal Similarities

Israel does not have a written constitution. Certain functions of the constitution are fulfilled by the Declaration of Establishment (1948), the Basic Laws of the Parliament and the Israeli Nationality Law. The legal system is a blend of English Common Law and British Mandate regulations. Israel no longer accepts the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.
