CHALLENGES OF A NEW CONSTITUTION

CHALLENGES OF A NEW CONSTITUTION

Sovereignty is the fundamental basis of the Constitution, which is the basic law of a country. The source of sovereignty is the people. Thus, the designing of the Constitution and potential subsequent reforms should essentially be based on the broad aspirations of the people of the country.

The recently launched ‘citizen’s struggle’ in Sri Lanka called for broader system change through social and political reforms in the country. We understand that, to this end, there should be a better comprehension of, inter alia, the socio-political policies, constitutional principles, and democratic processes to make the envisaged Constitutional reforms a meaningful effort for a system change in the socio-economic and political spheres.

We are bringing this program, the “Voice of the Citizens”, to you as an effort to effectively contribute to understanding the people’s aspirations broadly and comprehensively in the Constitutional reform process in the country. Thus, the voices of the people’s representatives are presented to you as an opening for much broader societal discourse.
