The Constitution of the Republic of the Gambia enacted

The Constitution of the Republic of the Gambia, enacted in 1997, is a pivotal document that establishes the framework for governance and the protection of human rights within the country. Chapter IV of this constitution is particularly significant as it focuses on the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. It guarantees every individual the right to freedom of speech, conscience, assembly, association, and movement. Additionally, it ensures the freedom to practice any religion and to manifest such practice without fear of persecution. This chapter serves as a cornerstone for democracy in The Gambia, promoting a culture of respect for human rights and individual liberties. As the supreme law of the land, the constitution not only safeguards these rights but also holds the government accountable to uphold them. The enactment of this constitution marked a crucial step towards establishing a democratic society where citizens can freely express themselves and participate in the political process. The ongoing commitment to these principles is essential for the continued development and stability of The Gambia as a nation. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #GambiaConstitution #FundamentalRights #HumanRights #Democracy #1997Constitution
