The Netherlands passed the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide Act in April 2001, making it the first country to formally legalize euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The law came into effect on April 1, 2002, after years of court rulings that progressively allowed the practice under strict conditions.
