Consolidating Peace. Nepali Constitution-Making

This report reflects some of the perspectives and lessons learned from the Philippine-Nepal Exchange on the Peace Aspects of Constitution-making that took place in Kathmandu in August 2008. The report includes pertinent lessons from the Philippines experience of constitution-making from the perspectives of a Filipino peace practitioner, who served as a member of the Constitutional Commission that drafted the 1987 Philippines Constitution. It also reflects on debate and opinions amoung Nepali Constitutional Assembly members, constitutional experts, political party and government representatives, international organisations and a diverse range of civil society thinkers and activists in Nepal.
