Libyan interim Constitutional Declaration
Member State of the Arab League The Constitutional Declaration is the current supreme law of Libya, introduced due to the overthrow of the Gaddafi government in the Libyan Civil War.[dubious – discuss] Article 30 of the document lays out a process for the drafting of a permanent constitution, with time limits for each section meaning that one should be in place by around December 2013 at the latest.The process has however been subject to several delays such as the postponement of the General National Congress election by a month, and the target for appointing a Constituent Assembly was missed due to political wrangling over the post of Prime Minister.[7] The tenth amendment divided the country into three voting districts (Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan) for the upcoming referendum on the 2017 draft constitution by the Constituent Assembly.[9] In March 2023, both the House of Representatives and the High Council of State passed the thirteenth amendment containing thirty-four articles defining a new system of government and the tasks of the elected president and prime minister.
