| 2021-09-29 |
| [ToloNews] The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Tuesday said that the constitution from King Zahir Shah’s era ...ratified in 1964, and used briefly by the Hamid Karzai government before they got one of their very own... will be enforced in the country for an interim period.Acting Justice Minister Abdul Hakim Sharie made the remarks in his meeting in Tuesday with the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu. Sharie also said the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will respect international laws that are not against Sharia Law and the Emirate’s principles. And those that are will be ignored as pretty frosting on the same stale cake. No doubt in the end they’ll go back to whatever they came up with the first time round. In a statement posted on the Justice Ministry website, Sharie said: "The Islamic Emirate will enforce the constitution from the era of King Zahir Shah, Afghanistan’s last king, for an interim period, except those articles that are in conflict with Sharia Law and the principles of the Islamic Emirate."Meanwhile, ...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels... the Cultural Commission of the Ministry of Information and Culture said the King Shah-era constitution will be enforced until a new constitution is put in place. King Zahir Shah’s constitution has 11 chapters and 128 articles. According to the document, the king is the ultimate authority in decision-making. Sources told TOLOnews that the enforcement of the King Zahir Shah-era constitution was repeatedly put forward by the negotiating team of the Islamic Emirate in the intra-Afghan talks in Doha. |
