Constitutional Reform – 2008
2008
The Constitutional Reform Unit and Constitutional Congress continued operations in 2008. From May to June 2008, provincial teams conducted consultations in the provinces of the Solomon Islands as well as Honiara. Team committees were created to address seven critical themes of constitutional reform: foundation provisions, federal political systems and powers, public finance and revenue sharing, law and justice, fundamental human rights and freedoms (and other rights), constitutional institutions, representations and public service, and transition. From September to November, the teams deliberated.[1] In December, the theme committees commenced to issue reports on their respective deliberations.[2]
