AML/CTF & Financial-Sanctions Legal Corpus (UN · Australia · UK · US · EU · Canada · Singapore · Switzerland · Hong Kong · Japan · UAE, v1)
A neutral, provenance-first, machine-readable record of the law of anti-money-laundering / counter-terrorism-financing (AML/CTF) and financial sanctions across ten cross-referenced jurisdictions — Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Japan and the United Arab Emirates — rooted in the UN treaty and Security Council backbone, with the FATF 40 Recommendations as the connective spine. Every record carries its official source, retrieval date, citation, jurisdiction, legal status, language, an authoritative-status flag, and a SHA-256 content hash; every change is a new dated version.

Why this dataset is different
Most legal datasets are scraped text with no sourcing. Here every row is traceable: the authoritative text is stored in its authentic language with a content hash and a fidelity flag, and anything generated (concept tags, structure) is kept in a separate, clearly-labelled layer. That makes it low-risk input for retrieval-augmented generation and citation-grounded legal NLP.
Configs
documents — one row per instrument version: the full authoritative text plus provenance (source_url, official_citation, authoritative_status, text_fidelity, content_hash, license, rights_note, provenance_note, dates, jurisdiction, language).
provisions — one row per structural unit (article / section / principle / guideline): the unit text, its neutral concepts (curated (human-reviewed) for the main instruments, keyword-derived elsewhere; unofficial), and a link back to the source instrument's text hash and URL. Ideal as pre-chunked, concept-labelled context for RAG.
