List

Constitution building processes which resulted in the adoption of new constitutions offer us a wealth of practical know-how grounded in actual lessons learned. This kind of knowledge is in demand in other countries, particularly those in which the challenge is to include groups, such as women and minorities in the constitution building process, or those trying to effectively organize public hearings and constitutional assemblies. The community of members is an exclusive online forum of constitution building practitioners, such as current and former members of constituent assemblies, constitutional commissions, and members of civil society, academia and other private actors. This network allows for different members to interact and share knowledge, opinions and experiences in common areas of interest, which are consolidated into a body of knowledge on this website.
