News summary

Major-General Ro Jone Kalouniwai of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces stated that the review of the 2013 Constitution is a legal political decision, emphasizing the importance of following the rule of law and the process in place for amendments. In a contrasting situation, the Gambian government's unilateral redrafting of its constitution poses a threat to democracy, as it undermines public involvement and risks consolidating power within the executive. Meanwhile, Turkey is preparing for a significant constitutional shift from a military to a civilian framework, with the ruling AK Party initiating workshops to guide this process. In Trinidad and Tobago, a national committee on constitutional reform received minimal public engagement, raising concerns about a democratic deficit as political figures influence the committee’s credibility. The varying approaches to constitutional changes across these nations highlight the complex interplay of power, public engagement, and democratic principles. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these constitutional processes will largely depend on transparency, inclusivity, and adherence to democratic values.
