Tajikistan marks the 28th anniversary of the adoption of the country’s Constitution. The Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan was adopted on November 6, 1994.
The Constitution declares ideological and political pluralism, ensuring human rights and social-legal guarantees. The Constitution has the highest legal power, direct application and supremacy on the whole territory of Tajikistan. The Constitution proclaims the establishment of a democratic, legal, secular and unitary State, where the State power is based on the principle of separation of powers.
As the fundamental law of the State, the Constitution defines the structure of the government, basic rights, liberties and responsibilities of its citizens, as well as the powers of the legislative, executive and judicial branches.
Tajikistan’s Constitution was amended by referendums on September 26, 1999, June 22, 2003 and May 22, 2016.
Amendments made to the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan in 1999 established a new bicameral parliament (Article 48) and extended the President’s term of office from five to seven years (Article 65).
Changes proposed to the Constitution of Tajikistan at the referendum on May 22, 2003 included removing Article 65, which limited the President to a single term of office.
A total of 41 constitutional amendments were proposed to the Constitution of Tajikistan at the referendum of May 22, 2016.
