The Congolese Constitution Put to the Test Under Tshisekedi's Rule (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Adopted in 2006 following many years of conflict and political instability, the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was conceived as a true pact for peace and national renewal. It is based, in particular, on the principle of the inviolability of certain fundamental provisions, established as a bulwark against the authoritarian excesses and institutional crises that have marked the country's history. However, nearly 20 years after it took effect, debates over its revision or amendment have resurfaced with renewed intensity in the context of President Félix Tshisekedi's administration. The constitutional issue deeply divides Congolese society. Beyond the legal debate, this book poses a crucial question for the future of the DRC: Is revising or amending the Constitution an act of institutional modernization, or is it the first step toward undermining the democratic consensus built after the crisis? An essential reflection for legal professionals, researchers, and policymakers regarding the constitutional future of the DRC. Thus, a Constitution must neither follow day-to-day politics nor ignore reality.
