Talk on Constitutional Change

Constitutional change by military regimes

Time: 2:00 PM - 3:50 PM Wed 20 June 2012

Room: DB145 ATSIP Building, James Cook Drive, ground floor lecture theatre

Fiji is embarking on what may be its fourth constitution since independence in 1970. Two constitutions, including the latest, have been abrogated following coups d’état. A dilemma now confronts the current Constitutional Commission: should it follow instructions from the Bainimarama Military Regime that appointed it or should it pursue constitutionality and the law?

Drinks and nibbles will be provided afterwards.

Presented by the School of Arts & Social Science and The Cairns Institute.
