Description |
Despite a range of inconsistencies and linguistic inadequacies, the 2004 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (IRoA) is a major step forward in establishing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens. This constitutional law codifies such fundamental rights of citizens through the principle of equality, protection of human dignity, prohibition of discrimination, right to freedom, freedom of expression, access to information, confidentiality and freedom of correspondence, the due process of the law, the right to housing, and education. |
