Abstract

The article is devoted to the Mongolian legislation in the reign of Genghis Khan. Based on the analysis of the reconstructed positions of the Torе, «Great Yasa» and the bilig (sayings of Genghis Khan), the imperial principles of the law of medieval Mongolia are revealed. These principles include the legitimacy of the absolute power of a khan, universal supremacy of the Mongolian empire over other states, religious tolerance. These rules of the law reveal the specifics of the political genesis of the Genghis Khan’s state. The author concludes that the development of the empire, formed as a result of intensive conquests, was ahead of the establishment of statehood and state institutions of the nomadic society.
