OSCE/ODIHR Comments on the Draft Constitution of Turkmenistan
The Draft Constitution contains a number of positive features, notably some new provisions pertaining to fair trial guarantees, the practical implementation of all provisions will greatly depend upon the adoption of implementing legislation and the existence of proper enforcement mechanisms, including judicial review and access to independent and impartial courts. The OSCE/ODIHR hopes that these Comments will provide useful insights, which may eventually lead to more comprehensive and fundamental changes, involving a clearer division of competencies, more efficient state institutions and a system of effective checks and balances.
