'Bələdiyyələrin əraziləri və torpaqları haqqında' Azərbaycan Respublikasının Qanununa əlavə edilmiş 'Azərbaycan Respublikasında bələdiyyələrin siyahısı'nda dəyişikliklər edilməsi barədə [On making changes in the 'List of municipalities in the Republic of Azerbaijan' added to the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan 'On Territories and Lands of Municipalities'] (Resolution 587-IIIQD) (in Azerbaijani).

Template documentation

This is a simple one-off citation replacement for a single act. The translation of "Resolution" from the performative text "qərara alır" comes from the side-by-side official translations of Azerbaijan's Constitution. The title translation is just Google Translate. I replaced the double-quotes with single straight quotes for the formatting, which makes it somewhat ambiguous what is inside the quotes if you don't know the language or translation. The original template URL was dead, and while available on archive, there's no reason the text would have changed on the live site.

The eventual goal will be to make a functional {{Cite Azerbaijan law}} template, but there appears to be no correlation yet between their URIs and their document indices. Meanwhile I'll put some of the planned documentation here. A good English-language primer on Azerbaijani law is Iskandarli, Ramil (August 2017). "UPDATE: A Guide to the Republic of Azerbaijan Law Research". Hauser Global Law School Program – New York University School of Law. Retrieved 2022-07-08. Iskandarli (sec. 6) lists sources of law (from Constitution Article 148), and I will list the best translations I can from comparing the official translations of the current Constitution as linked above:

• The Constitution: Konstitusiya
• Acts adopted via referendum: referendumla qəbul edilmiş aktlar (aktlar=acts)
• Laws: qanunlar
• Decree: fərmanlar; "Orders": sərəncamlar
• Resolutions: qərarları;
• Normative Acts: normativ aktları
• International Treaties: beynəlxalq müqavilələr
• General terms: Article = Maddə; Part = hissəsi; Clause = bənd

It will likely be important to use all legal archives available to see if any can be effectively directly linked. Iskandarli links the good ones, which I have updated here from the dead links and redirects: Ministry of Justice unified legal database, OSCE LegislationOnline (EN-translated laws), Judicial-Legal Concil portal, National Assembly, main National Archives, and the current official translated Constitution as before.
