Draft Constitution
Just about every nation on the planet has a document highlighting their beliefs, enumerating their citizenry’s rights, and outlining the basic operations of their country (government), and its called a Constitution. Hamas, which used to control an area with over 2 million people in it, doesn’t have a Constitution either, they have a Charter. With Hamas apparently out of the way and rebuilding clearly in Gaza’s future, we need to ask this two-fold question: Who will govern Gaza, and what documents will they use to govern it by?
We would like to suggest the following approach: that
- A Constitution be established outlining citizen rights, including their ability to conduct elections and vote, participate in the government, free speech, and educational programs and goals.
- A government body is established where democracy is accounted for, and there are an established level of “checks and balances” between the government, executive and judicial branches.
- That regularly scheduled elections be held, including a vote on the adoption of a new Constitution
With those thoughts in mind, we are proud to present you with the first public draft of a proposed new constitution for Gaza. At this point, I want to stress the following: We want to work with everyone who wants peace and economic development in the region, and who pledges to help construct a document that will represent the dreams, desires and needs of the people of Gaza, not just for today, but for the future.
