Constitutional Commission of Eritrea
August 1995
Introduction
The Constitutional
Commission of Eritrea bas been engaged in securing large-scale public
participation in constitution-making. The question of public
participation in Constitution-making should be a meaningful, rather than
a perfunctory exercise involving the organization of forums in which the
people can express their opinions and wishes. In order to make these
forums productive it was necessary to make proper preparations and the
Constitutional Commission has been making preparations in the form of
civic education and conducting research on issues to be presented for
public discourse.This set of proposals is being submitted for debate
based on the preliminary preparations which have been completed, which
were considered a necessary step preceding the writing of the first
draft and organizing debates on such a draft. This set of Proposals is
the outcome of research, seminars, symposia and the opinion of experts
and the public at large as obtained by the Constitutional Commission
over the past year.
The basic constitutional issues, namely the principal issues determining
the content and form the constitution are thus being submitted for
public debate. The views that will be expressed and the position taken
on these issues will, in turn, determine what kind of constitution we
will have.
