Summary
Constitutional provisions and translations are taken from Constitutions of the Countries of the World (Rüdiger H. Wolfrum, Rainer Grote & Gisbert H. Flanz eds., Oxford Univ. Press, various dates, including both paper version and online subscription version at http://www.oceanalaw.com) [hereinafter CCW], unless otherwise indicated. Texts quoted herein are constitutional texts unless noted as statutes or other texts. Non-derogability provisions may be noted but not quoted. Headings or article titles are generally omitted unless they are particularly useful to understanding the provision in question or its place in the law.
The material herein was generally verified for the last time in September–October 2007. A few more recent developments have been taken into account, particularly the imposition and subsequent lifting of emergency rule in Pakistan in November–December 2007, the coming into force of the Revised Arab Charter of Human Rights on 15 March 2008, and the presentation of the proposed Kosovo Constitution on 7 April 2008.
The texts are formatted as uniformly as reasonably possible. Thus, in some cases the typesetting here might not exactly match the source material.
Notations at the beginning of each country's entry summarize the material from Appendix A and some other information collected and discussed in Chapter 5:
NC = Nullum crimen – Retroactive criminalization of acts prohibited by constitution, statute, or treaty (Appendix A, Column 2)
NP = Nulla poena – Retroactive increase of penalties prohibited by constitution, statute, or treaty (Appendix A, Column 3)
