Constitution of Eswatini
The decree gave absolute power to the monarchy and banned organised political opposition to royal rule.In 2001 King Mswati III appointed a committee to draft a new constitution.Eswatini's two largest political organisations, the People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) and the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress (NNLC), together with labour unions, challenged the 2004 draft constitution in the Eswatini's High Court.However, in March 2005 the court upheld a ban on opposition political parties, citing the 1973 State of Emergency decree of King Sobhuza II.[4] Trade unions in the country have organized repeated strikes to protest against the lack of labour and political rights and the draft constitution.
