The Mutual Legal Assistance Request Writer Tool (MLA Tool) has been developed by UNODC to assist States to draft requests with a view to facilitate and strengthen international cooperation.

The MLA tool:

• Requires virtually no prior knowledge or experience with drafting mutual legal assistance requests
• Helps to avoid incomplete requests for mutual legal assistance and therefore minimizes the risk of delay or refusal.
• Is easily adjustable to any country’s substantive and procedural law
• Enables the user to retrieve key information on treaties and national legislation
• Features an integrated case-management tracking system for incoming and outgoing requests
