He devised the <.officiallaws) official public legal information generic top-level domain (gTLD) system for easy identification of the reliable versions of the laws published online worldwide; developed the system of nationally networked one-stop official public legal information websites (the NOPLIW system) for the optimal findability and management of online law databases; invented the human rights-based public access-adequate huricompatisation model of ascertainment of indigenous customary law (huricompatisation); formulated the new human rights-advocacy approach (NHRAA) that consists of a set of ten onerous criteria for the formal universal recognition of new human rights; and pioneered the global advocacy of the formal universal recognition of the right of free access to public legal information as a substantive or stand-alone human right in 2017 (https:\/\/publiclegalinformation.com).
