Constitutions are considered tools to entrench peace and the rule of law; however, using constitutions to fulfil these demands raises challenges and so requires new way of thinking on how constitutions are drafted/amended in such contexts. A result of these demands is that it has become necessary to simultaneously pursue the sometimes-inconsistent requirements of peace-making and constitution-making. Constitutional rethinking is often inevitable in the context of constitutional change that occurs under the shadow of violence. Such rethinking faces constitutionality challenges when it is to take place within an existing constitution. Moreover, in the case of new constitutional arrangements, constitutional methods to accommodate discord need to be explored. As well, the implications of past-looking constitutions on the pursuit of peace must also be considered. This panel intends to offer ways to rethink constitution-making in places of conflict.
