Description
Summary:The Kingdom of Swaziland's constitution has been in force for over 6 year's.1 The constitution is the supreme law of Swaziland and it declares that; any law inconsistent with the constitution shall be void to the extent of its inconsistency.2 With the advent of the constitution, came into being a bill of rights3 which had long been absent in Swaziland since the repeal of the 1968 independence constitution in 1973. The bill of rights guarantees what it terms 'fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.'4 Among these fundamental rights and freedoms enshrined in the bill of rights include inter alia; the protection from inhumane or degrading treatment5, equality before the law6, the rights and protection of the family7 and the rights and freedoms of women.
